Retards in the Government 2

Inspired by the previous post "Retards in the Government" this will be part of a continuing series showcasing headlines depicting elected officials and appointed bureaucrats in the Philippines behaving in a manner unworthy of their office. From filing spurious charges to childish dares to impeach or oust to just plain silliness and outrageous statements, even outright lies, I hope to present, without commentary, an accurate picture of why politics in the Philippines remains a corrupt and petty game of fools.
