A congressman in name of Rep. Danilo Suarez claimed that he Paid for the bill at Bobby Van’s Steak House in Washington D.C. on July 30. and claims that he gave tip of $1500 at a Washington Restaurant.

Besides admitting that he forked out $12,000 for the Arroyo entourage’s pricey dinner at Bobby Van’s Steak House in Washington D.C. on July 30, Quezon Rep. Danilo Suarez also said that he gave the restaurant a gratuity equivalent to P70,000.

The lawmaker showed GMA News the receipt to prove his claim. Suarez said that in the US, it was “customary" to give a tip equivalent to about 15 percent of the total restaurant bill.

Suarez said he hosted the dinner to celebrate the 41st wedding anniversary of the President and Jose Miguel Arroyo.

“Embarrassing naman na ako ang nagyaya tapos iba ang pagbabayarin ko (It would be embarrassing if I let others foot the bill since I was the one who hosted the dinner)," Suarez said. [ Source ]

That congressman must have lots of money to treat the whol entourage of the Government. Although I must agree that USA Restaurant has high price but if they are just wise enough to spend the money , there are still lots of place where they could dine. But anyway it is there money and they have all their right spend them wherever it is
