THE senator who has played the role of a gangster in several movies demanded respect from an undersecretary of foreign affairs whom he described as a 'barumbado' during a budget hearing at the Senate on Friday.It takes one to know one, some would say. But watching a recording of the hearing on YouTube, it was Sen. Robinhood Padilla who was rude to Foreign Affairs Undersecretary Eduardo Jose de Vega, not the other way around.
'Manalo and de Vega were speaking in mixed English and Filipino. The undersecretary was smiling as he was responding to Padilla. 'The DFA will always fight diplomatically. We will always use diplomatic means to defend our country,' he assured.Padilla appeared to have been pissed off by de Vega's reference to one of his popular movies, 'Maging Sino Ka Man,' in which he shared top billing with megastar Sharon Cuneta.
