MANILA, Philippines- “Whether I made him a waiter and or, he responded like a gentleman, is between us.”
Ito ang naging tugon ni First Lady Liza Araneta Marcos sa viral clip ng pagkuha niya ng champagne glass ni Senate President Chiz Escudero at pag-inom mula dito sa Vin D’Honneur kamakailan sa Malacañan Palace.
Paliwanag ng First Lady nitong Biyernes, nagtatawanan sila ni Escudero habang kinukuha ang wine glass mula sa kanya, na ibinalik niya sa senador matapos itong inuman. Mapapanood ang nasabing pangyayari sa live streamed video ng event noong Independence Day.
“I’ve known Chiz since my law school days, he studied in UP and I went to Ateneo, we’ve been friends for like, forever. So whether I made him a waiter and or, he responded ‘like a gentleman,’ is between us,” ayon sa First Lady.
“After greeting 82 ambassadors and other international organization representatives for over an hour, Bong and I entered the ceremonial hall. And we were ushered to where Chiz and Martin Romualdez were standing. When Chiz saw me, he said, ‘Wow bilib din ako sa’yo, may energy ka pa after standing and smiling for over an hour.’ Sabi niya, ‘I’m sure you could use a drink’,” wika pa ng First Lady.
“I laughed and said, ‘You bet.’ And so I mischievously got his glass of champagne, took a sip and told him, ‘Eww hindi naman malamig ang champagne.’ After that, I gave his champagne glass back to him and we both had a good laugh over that,” dagdag niya.
Noong Huwebes, naglabas ng pahayag si Escudero hinggil sa viral clip, at sinabing naging “gentlemanly” lamang siya sa First Lady. RNT/SA
