His Ulterior Motive

A half-Filipino/ half Spanish good looking “balikbayan” BB and his buddy BU were billeted in a 5 star hotel in Makati for their holiday vacation in the Philippines. One morning, BB and BU were preparing to go to Boracay, but they decided to have breakfast at the cafe prior to proceeding to the airport.

As they stepped out of the hotel elevator on the way to the café, they saw Public Servant PS at close range who seemed to be on his way to the café also. Being familiar with Philippine politics, BB knew who PS was, and as a sign of respect ,he and BU greeted him good morning. The good PS smiled and greeted them back.

While they were walking, PS was extra ordinarily friendly and chatty with BB and BU. On the other hand, the two guys were cool enough exchanging pleasantries with him. PS even complimented BB and said that he had nice get-up and physique. PS was asking them what were they up to that morning. When told that BB and BU were going to have a quick bite at the café before heading to Boracay. PS said that he was also going to the cafe for a meeting, and while it’s still early he proposed to share a table with them while waiting for his appointment.

At the table while having coffee, PS was becoming more comfortable making banter with BB and BU as if he was already long time friends with the two guys. But BB was the opposite - he was getting uneasy with PS’ demeanor and the way he looked at him was so suspect.

When BB and BD sensed that PS would stay with them longer on their table, they decided to forego their planned big breakfast and took something light instead so they could already leave PS. But before they could do that, PS managed to ask BB for his number. But the uninterested BB was quick to give him the run-around – that he did not have a Philippine number since he just arrived in the Manila the previous night.

Looking disappointed , PS gave his business card nonetheless - and with a smile told them to keep in touch.

The two gentlemen left in a huff – without looking back!
