Sen. Santiago advises rookie lawmakers to ‘go back to school’

[<SMILE>]

Yes I think so,
that is why as always any winning politicians
does not get a 100% vote.

One problem sa pinas is that the intelligent people are full of doubts while the stupid ones are full of confidence.

not only in the philipines, but all over the world according to Charles Bukowski.

I remember her saying that she would jump from an airplane if she lost on her bet.
Her bet had something to do with the Erap impeachment. She lost the bet. After a "demand" was made to do good of her lost bet, she just laughed and said "I lied! hahahaha". (I can't recall though if the good senator meant jumping from an airplane while in flight or while on the tarmac). I don't see how that behavior is in accordance with "Honesty".

She can be nuts sometimes but I never regret voting for her every time she runs for public office.

Try changing the Constitution to fit your requirements for a Senator, madam Senator.
It's more pun in the Philippines.

idol miriam! hehehe we really need briliant law makers

[FAQ]

Miriam is just expressing her academic elitism - actually it's not rare for people like her. She's just more vocal about it.

[noy.juan]

Hmm, amenable ko sa iyang mga gipang-sulti except for one thing...

One could be better w/o stepping to schools she mentioned! It is just like, pag di ka graduate sa ana nga tulo ka school iya gi mentioned, wala kay karapatan ma-senador!

Toink!

mirriam as always, is a perfectionist person, specifying those school doesnt imply you go to that school.... you just need to simply read it between the line, but what she really pointing out is to have atleast the proper credentials before joining the higher chamber and not just because BIMPO...

shes out of the senate na, she will be serving as a judge sa ICJ

[crossramz]

I can recall mds had applied for cj position before. Idk what went wrong she did not qualify, but my family will have her full support with regards those nasty opinions. Sometimes we need a sacrificial lamb just to shake people from this hallucinations we have.

lez go pilipins.

Nang Miriam, would you question a young rabbi named Jesus preaching in the temples, having had no degrees from Harvard, Vatican, nor a Philippine institution as you would have deemed the standard should be?

Or would you question David's competence to slay a giant named Goliath, and if you have your say, you would at least choose someone who probably wears a dozen championship belts in MMA, an ex SEAL perhaps.. or a Jason Bourne abilities?

Sorry, you will never get my vote Nang Miriam.

being a senator is so different from being the leader. mao bitaw ang leader sa pilipinas and other countries simple lang ang qualification ,able to read and write and natural filipino kay tungod anang imung giistorya. wala man ta kahibaw basin naay mayng laki bisan walay grado, maayo mo lead ug nasud. pero ang pagka senador lahi ra kaayo, kinahnglan jud kag taas nga intelligence ug qualification dapat para ani kay sila gud ang tighimo ug balaod. kung ang mga senator nga mudaug walay alamag, mag sige lang silag salig sa adviser, sige lang silag pirma sa binuhat sa ilang chief assistant? kung ing-ana maypag ang assistant nalang nidaug.
