Did President Gloria Had a 'Boob Job'?

In a recent speech by former President Joseph Estrada to the Manila Medical Society, he jokingly mentioned the controversy of the President having a 'boob job'.

He said, "Sa dinami-dami ng mga dapat na imbestigahan ng NBI ay kung bakit pati ang “boob job” ng Pangulo ay kanilang pinagdidiskitahan." He further added as to why the NBI is continuing to investigate who among the staff of Asian Hospital and Medical Center in Muntinlupa leak the leak to media the 'procedure' done to President Arroyo.

He jokingly added, "Wag n’yo naman dibdibin ang kasong ito. When there are so many cases of killings, ambu­shes, bombings and other heinous crimes that need to be investigated. I hope that no doctor in this assembly tonight is under investigation by the NBI for being talkative and revealing the truth about the very important patient,”.

“Sabagay hindi naman ako kasi pious li­ving. Alam n’yo ba ang ibig sabihin ng pious li­ving? Ibig sabihin noon, ‘paayos nang paayos’. If you are among those saying that I was the one who talked about implants, I hope you do not get qua­rantined for life,” dagdag nito.
