Lewd sex dancers
grace Liberal
swearing in party
By Yul Baritugo
No one had ever unraveled nor traced
the dance genius who pioneered the lewd
choreography that appears to be standard
fare among exotic dancers in Manila. But
as far back as 2013, when the pop group
Parokya Ni Edgar performed in a pizza
venue in Surrey for a largely FilipinoCanadian audience, the Parokya dancers
-- who came with the band -- likewise
performed acts that aggressively suggests
coitus and oral sex in their repeated pelvic
thrusts which appears to be the principal
movement of their dance routine.

MANIL A - Metropolitan Manila
Development Authority (MMDA) Chair
Francis Tolentino filed his resignation
shortly following the "Playgirls" lewd dance
incident that happened during the swearing
in of some 80 new Liberal Party recruits in
Laguna.
He denied, however, accusation of
being the patron who gave the girls as a
gift to a Liberal party official celebrating his
birthday. The Playgirls dance group figured
prominently as Tolentino supporters in an
earlier congressional campaign for his
younger brother.

The move drew flak from various civic
groups who scored his use of women’s
bodies as a "birthday treat" to a lawmaker
during an LP event in Laguna.
Tolentino earlier declared his intent
to run for senator but later asked the
Liberal Party to exclude him from its list of
senatorial bets.
Tolentino came into public service after
being appointed by the late President Cory
Aquino as officer-in-charge of Tagaytay
City. He was later appointed by President
Benigno S. Aquino III or PNoy to head the
MMDA.

“Muli po ipinaabot ko sa Partido Liberal
na alisin na ang pangalan ko sa kinoconsider nilang line-up sa pagka-senador
sa 2016. Nagpapasalamat ako sa lahat ng
tumanggap ng pang-unawa at ipagpatuloy
n'yo akong ipagdasal," Tolentino said
during the inauguration of new ferry boats
in Makati City.
Tolentino had apologized for the
incident, citing that he had no control of the
ladies' controversial performance.
