Philippine Sen. Lito "Leon Guererro" Lapid's wife was arrested in Las Vegas, Nevada International Airport for having in her possession $50,000 in cash. She only declared $10,000 to Airport Authorities but it was discovered she had extra $40,000 more with her. My, my, my, she probably thought she's still in Pampanga or in the Philippines for that matter. She probably thought she's also untouchable in the U.S. because all politicians and their families, even their cats and dogs are certainly untouchables here in their own country. Well, guess again my dear Mrs. Senator!
When media men asked Sen. "Leon Guererro" why his wife was carrying so much cash in the U.S., the good old Pinoy cowboy/actor turned senator said that his wife was going to use the money for medical treatment. What the hell is he talking about? He must think all Filipinos are also as dumb and as stupid as he is. Do you pay your doctor abroad in $50,000 cash? Haven't they discovered the thing called credit card used by the rich people and even by the ordinary people abroad? Haven't Mrs. "Leon Guererro" ever heard or ever used the "Plastic Money" which caused the economies of the U.S. and Europe to crumble like a ton of bricks?
Maybe Sen. "Leon Guererro" and his wife are just yanking our chain, playing dumb again with us Pinoys. You know, like the way how made himself so rich from all those missing lahar quarrying fees in Pampanga and when asked about it he just played dumb until it went away and all was forgotten. I bet his wife brought all that cash so she can shop till she drops, gamble all she wants in Vegas and nobody will ever see any trace or evidence of it back home. But I guess they forgot about the U.S. Customs at the airport who by the way, are not as dumb as Mrs. Lapid.
News reports say she could end up in jail and serve for 5 years if convicted. Sen. Lapid said his asking the help of the Dept. of Foreign Affairs to help clear his wife. When reporters asked the Sen. Cowboy what he can say to the U.S. Government on the violation of their laws, the senator said, "I'm sorry".......Wow, is this guy really that dumb or is he just playing dumb ass again to get off the hook? Let's wait and find out if his "let's play dumb ass" will also work on the U.S. Government. :)
