That a star lawyer is born means many: the Filipino people are watching; the Filipino people are learning law and jurisprudence,not to mention accountability. The Filipino people are forming informed opinions.

While Llamas and those who enable him might believe they can count followers and think themselves a success; I think what they need to realize is that this all reeks of Duterte. The bad jokes, the constant purportedly ironic laughter, the sarcasm, the informal male banter, the tenor of conversations that should really stay in locker rooms and man caves — all of these use the same playbook as Duterte himself, except that this time it's in English.

That is where the U.S. finds itself now on its 250th birthday… The country is being led by a man who has been smeared for his grift, lasciviousness and corruption, while his administration is filled with sycophants, incompetents and individuals with weak moral foundations. A real honest to goodness 21st Century Idiocracy.
