CEBU CITY -- For disrespecting Governor Gwendolyn Garcia in a recent gathering, singer Rico J. Puno should be declared persona non-grata in Cebu, two Capitol lawmakers said.

Provincial Board (PB) Members Arleigh Sitoy and Jose Ribomapil Holganza Jr. sponsored a resolution saying Puno made a "downright disparaging remark" that disrespected the governor during the opening of a hotel in Mandaue City.

The one-page resolution did not mention exactly what Puno did. A recent column by Bobby Nalzaro, who was at the event, said the singer had serenaded the governor, then made a rude comment.

Enrico de Jesus Puno, known as Rico J. Puno, was "his usual comedic self," said Sitoy.

But considering that Governor Garcia holds the highest elective position in the province, she should not have been made to endure an embarrassing experience.

He added that Puno should have known better, especially since he is a former elected public official. Puno is a former city councilor of Makati, but a failed candidate for vice mayor.

For his behavior during the new hotel's gathering, Puno should be declared an "unwelcome persona" in the province, Sitoy said.

"The Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Cebu acknowledges the fact that beyond political lines and affiliations is the honor and respect that must be accorded at all times to the office of the Governor of the Province of Cebu," Sitoy and Holganza said in their proposed resolution.

The PB will take it up in Monday's session.

Nalzaro, in his column, said some of the guests that night were Senators Gringo Honasan, Vicente Sotto III and Miguel Zubiri.

In September last year, the vice mayors' league in Cebu declared former Miss Universe Gloria Diaz persona non grata, after she reportedly made disparaging remarks about the Cebuanos' ability to speak Tagalog or English.

Diaz, however, said she was misunderstood; what she meant was that people who join beauty pageants should be encouraged to answer questions using the language they know best. (RSA/Sun.Star Cebu)

From what I heard Rico J greeted the Governor as the most beautiful Governor in the Philippines then said " Kay Dr Belo ba or Dr Calayan ba yan"

and the list continues....

[onig.heck]

the only reason she is embarrassed is because TINUOD giud na retokada na siya...
if lain pa to na person, like Shalani, imong ingnon ato.. I'm sure mu sabay sad sa joke2x..
SUS KA PAIT..

please lang.. ayaw na intawn ni hatagi ug higayon si Gov na mu appear sa TV kay mao ra uroy ni maka daot sa entertainment industry... plus, ma engganyo pa jud na siya ma ngilkil aron magpa usab sa nawung.. faet..

I believe Rico J Puno has more credibility as an actor/singer/comedian than Gov gwen.. nga maau kaau magpa gwapa unya mag laag2x ngadtos South.. mag chor unta ta...

If Rico J Puno wants to come to Cebu, he is more than welcome to.. miski ari pa na mu landing iyang plane sa among balay....

nganong laboton man jud ang walay labot diri.. wala juy labot si Tomas diri..
ang point is ang OVERREACTION sa imong tiya..

Rico J Puno, I'm sure, would never in his lifetime dream to disrespect her..
gi komedyahan lang to siya.. ug siya pud ug iyang mga batos dha sa kapitolyo.. sa grabeh sa ka tiguwang.. they took it seriously.. gi dib2x man nuon..
even if you compare it to the Gloria Diaz mishap, Gloria Diaz wasn't joking about how bisdak Cebuanos are.. she was saying.. CEBUANOS DON"T KNOW HOW TO SPEAK ENGLISH OR TAGALOG.. or in her context.. never ask a cebuana a question in english kay d na kahibalo mu tubag in the same manner..
now, after being told that you are the most beautiful gov't official, punchline dayun ug sinong gumawa nyan? si Belo o si Kalayan?
C'mon!! isn't that the most obvious joke that comes next?? wala sila kaila ug komedya??

ug kani sang mga competitive kaau na tao.. abi kay na OAhan lang me sa reaction ni Gov Gwen.. Tomas cronies na dayun me.. saonz..

[hayden]

yet some people are over-sensitive to jokes especially if they're on the receiving end. so who's older rico puno or gov gwen?

[rokane01]

tinuod man gud na nga retokada si Gov. Gwen Garcia... Rico J. Puno is in show business, dili na ma ihas si Rico J. Puno because he is well surrounded by people nga retokada pud...

Every week baya na magpa Vicki Belo si Garcia sa katong wala pa nang Vicki Belo sa SM City Cebu, meaning tig.adtoan nag Manila para lang pa maintain...

di ta pailad ana iyang hitsura oi... babaye kong dako... kaila pud tawn kog natural or retoke.

[Eve's Apple Project]

ok raman ta tong comment ni rico J kung di pa to official nga gathering...ang sayop niya di sya kabalo mo limit...di man ko ganahan ni Gwen no, but let's just respect her since elected Governor man sya. respect where respect is due..maayo gani kay persona non grata ra nang kang rico j. pasalamat nalng sya kay kana ray iyang naabtan..wehehe.

If sila-sila rato ni rico & wala kaayo tao then dinner2 lang, aw wa jud nay problem magbinuang..but if official gani, it is a no-no...

[rokane01]

kun di tinuod nga retoke, it would be flattering for me nga gwapa diay ko kun mao na... nagpa "Vicki Belo ka ba or Calayan?" is a way of complementing nga ni gwapa ko but joke ra nang retoke. unea kay grabeh man oa mag reaction si Gwen, so nagpasabot lang nga nagpa retoke jud xa. Kasayon ra ana tubagon nga "wa ko nagpa retoke oi, natural rana akong beauty." she's guilty ke retokada baya xa. hehehe
