Thus said the office of First Gentleman Jose Miguel Arroyo yesterday in reaction to the claim of San Juan, Metro Manila Mayor Joseph Victor Ejercito that the hospitalization of President Arroyo was only a "political gimmick."

Mr. Arroyo’s spokesman, Atty. Jesus I. Santos, said "it is good that Mayor Ejercito himself is now showing their true colors, their true personality. Besides, we are not actors. His father and brother are the actors.’’

Santos added that if Ejercito or his clique are wanting in attention, "we certainly are not.’’
