Senator Francis Escudero Promoting Noy-Bi or Noy Noy - Binay

The Liberal Party is not taking Senator Francis Escudero's reported impending endorsement of Makati City Mayor Jejomar Binay against him, the party's top two candidates said Wednesday.

At a press conference in Cagayan de Oro City, LP standard bearer Senator Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III said there is no problem with Escudero backing up his candidacy and Binay's instead of the candidacy of Aquino's running-mate Senator Manuel "Mar" Roxas II.

"He is endorsing in a personal capacity. He has endorsed me. I cleared this with my partner [Roxas] and there is no issue between my partner and me with regards the endorsement of Senator Escudero," Aquino said.

The LP standard bearer also welcomed the reported endorsement by Ang Ladlad, a partylist representing the gay-lesbian-bisexual-transgender sector, of him and Binay.

Roxas said in a separate statement that he was happy with Escudero's endorsement of Aquino.

"Magkaibigan kami ni Senator Chiz. Magkaiba ang pananaw namin sa pulitika. Natutuwa ako na sinusuportahan nya ang kandidato ko sa pagkapangulo, at para sa akin, ok na yun (I am friends with Senator Chiz. We have different views on politics. I am happy he is supporting my candidate for president and for me, that is okay)," Roxas said.

Escudero is reported to be coming out with an ad endorsing Binay. Although this has yet to come out, a GMA News report aired on Wednesday night showed a glimpse of the ad showing Escudero tell the public, "Ang bise-presidente ko, di pinanganak na mayaman. Di rin ilustrado (My vice-president was not born rich. He's not an ilustrado too)," in a seeming jab at Roxas who is a member of a wealthy landed family.

Early this month, brief tension gripped the LP campaign after staff members of Escudero working for the LP during the election period were relieved of their duties as media coordinators allegedly due to Escudero's support for Binay. Escudero's staff were brought back as media coordinators one day later, after journalists covering the campaign complained of the pull-out.

MAX’S Restaurant Cagayan de Oro SUCKS!!!

Well, supposed to be, I will not make a post regarding this restaurant because in the first place they have international branches but I think all restaurant services have weaknesses. I admit that the food of MAX’s Restaurant tastes good because they have lots of customers who eat in their restaurant particularly during Holidays and Occasions.

This is my first time to write a negative feedback about a restaurant. Why write a negative feed back to this Max’s restaurant in Cagayan de Oro? This is what happened…

Last Sunday April 18, 2010 CDO BLOGGERS used their function room for the SEO Mini Forum event and the cost of the function room is 2500 pesos and that was consumable. The function room of Max’s Restaurant Cagayan de Oro doesn’t have, or did not provide, any equipment we could use except for the speaker box and microphone which CDO BLOGGERS did not use. Since the event is a Mini Forum, we needed a projector for the presentations which the group provided for their own. When one of Max’s Restaurant Cagayan de Oro personnel saw that the group was using a projector they informed us that they will charge 500 pesos for using the projector where in fact the projector is not theirs! The group just agreed so that we could push thru with the event but in our minds we needed to argue with it.

While the event was ongoing the participants ordered food.

After the event we asked the waiter for our bill in function room only (not including the projector charge), the bill was only 2,258 pesos and we need to order additional food so that we will reach 2,500 pesos as the worth of the function room.

After paying the 2,500 pesos, officers of CDO BLOGGERS argued with them that they should not give us a charge for the projector because in the first place the projector is owned by the group and not Max’s and aside from that they didn’t give some info regarding this matter during reservation the previous day. We use our own materials and they will charge us? According to one staff of Max’s Restaurant Cagayan de Oro SUCKS, it’s our fault because we did not inform them that we will be using a projector. The worst thing during the argumentation was that the supervisor or I think their BULLSH!T area manager did not go between to settle the problem instead he or she (shamale actually) was just stuck in the office! Shemale only gave us a calling card (BULLSH!T AREA MANAGER). What the heck are we gonna do with this calling card..?? Because we wanted to leave early, we decided to pay the bill which is a total of 2,800 pesos including the charge of the projector. Another worst thing that happened was that, when we asked them for an Official Receipt it took almost an HOUR to give as a receipt! I think Max’s Restaurant Cagayan de Oro SUCKS has something wrong with their system, don’t you think?? I don’t think it would take an hour or so to get a receipt because their system is computerized or I think there is something wrong with the management or there is malicious thing happening inside this Max’s Restaurant SUCKS. In short guys, the problem with this restaurant is the way they handle their costumers and I think the management of this restaurant need some seminar on how to provide a good costumer service.

Let me ask you guys, whose fault is this? the group who used the function room that did not inform the management that they will use a projector, and bring their own for that matter, or the management that should have informed, US, their costumers regarding the rules of their function room?? What I can say?? Max’s Restaurant Cagayan de Oro SUCKS..!!!!
