				Arroyo Tells Filipino Men Not to Kiss Her

MANILA, Philippines - Annoyed by a stream of unwanted kisses, President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo (news - web sites) warned overzealous male fans and supporters Wednesday that to avoid embarrassment they should not pucker up in her direction. 
 
"First, show some respect. Secondly, I am conservative. I do not want to be kissed by any man but my husband," she told a town hall meeting in Laguna province, south of Manila. 
 
Arroyo often receives kisses on both cheeks by unknown admirers in a practice known locally as "beso-beso" ("kiss-kiss"). 
 
Citing her conservative nature, Arroyo said she would only accept kisses from her husband, lawyer Jose "Mike" Miguel. 
 
"Please, all the men in the country, so that I won't be rude to you, do not attempt to kiss me," she said. 
 
The 57-year-old president was responding to an emcee at the meeting who joked that a man in the crowd wanted to kiss her but that he hesitated because he hadn't brushed his teeth. 
 
Her statement was carried live on the nationwide ABS-CBN cable television. 
 
During a visit to meet Filipino workers in Kuwait last year, one of Arroyo's female bodyguards shoved away a man who approached the president with his lips puckered and ready to plant a kiss on her cheek. 
 
A picture of the man's foiled advance was published by many local newspapers. 
 
The presidential palace then announced that no one should ever try to claim a smacker from Arroyo, who is always protected by her troop of bodyguards.

 Yahoo news is weird sometimes. I saw this on the frontpage and then an hour later it dissappeared and I had a hard time finding it...
