Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago is one of the most feisty and most colorful political personalities in the Philippines. But lately (Well, at least before the recent outburst at the Senate impeachment trial) she has somewhat mellowed down. Even reinventing herself as a standup comedian in her speaking engagements in various schools and universities, delivering pick-up lines that garner loud guffaws and applause from the captive audience.
Here's a list of pick-up lines that Senator Santiago may be dropping on the personalities of the impeachment court.

ReplyDeleteThanks Aira for your comment. I suppose it's everything that you mentioned Aira that makes Senator Santiago such a magnetic personality. Indeed she is fearless and peerless, in that sense.
