Well, well, well, who did I see parading on the red carpet at SONA 2010 in her freebie Avel Bacudio yellow gown all by her lonesome? None other than congressional spouse Assunta de Rossi!
The wife of Negros Occidental representative Jules Ledesma walked the red carpet, posed for TV cameras and photographers without the person who should have been there.
Not surprising really because Jules Ledesma garnered the most absences during the 14th Congress. Get this. He attended only 3 of the 50 sessions but still got his monthly salary, December bonus and, I would assume, his allotted pork barrel.
What is surprising is that Assunta doesn't know her husband's whereabouts. Huh?! Don't they text or email?
According to Jules Ledesma, he may not be present during the sessions but it doesn't mean he's not doing his job. A congressman is a legislator and part of his job is to attend house deliberations. I don't know what he is legislating wherever he is.
Can they vote Assunta in the next elections instead? I'm sure she has attended more congressional spouse meetings and events than the measly 3 her husband attended in 2009.
In defense mode, Assunta said her husband got 94% of the votes in his district so that means he's doing something right. Or just maybe his constituents just don't know any better?
Assunta matched her gown with a Bulgari clutch. Don't go assuming that the bag came from Jules. Jules may be one of the riches solons in the House (P400 million plus, baby!) but do you know that Assunta has to work to fund her bags and trinkets habit? Is this fair? Is this what Assunta signed up for? This is gold digging fail at its worst! Me thinks six-footer Assunta has been had by 4-ft something Jules.
Anyway, I wish Congress would drug test all congressmen and senators already. As in now na!
