Why do Filipinos vote drug traffickers into their Congress?

-
Another case for automatic targeting of Philippine passport holders for cavity searches at major world airports! Even Philippine Congressmen get caught trafficking dope. Considering that these bozos are elected by popular vote in the Philippines, one can conclude that Philippine leaders pretty much reflect the quality of their constituencies.
Singson, son of Ilocos Sur Gov. Luis ‘Chavit” Singson, was arrested at the baggage examination counter of Hong Kong’s Chek Lap Kok International Airport reportedly with 26.1 grams of cocaine and two tablets of diazepam, a sedative.

He has been charged with trafficking in dangerous drugs and is currently detained at Lai Chi Kok Correctional Institute.

It's a country of crooks run by crooks.

Rep. Ronald Singson jailed for drug trafficking in Hong Kong is the guy flashing the "victory" sign on the picture shown.

    Yoink! Nice going, dumbass. Not sure what the yardstick is that separates possession from trafficking in Hong Kong -- most places in the US, it's 10 grams. He had his bail denied, too; I'd say he's in big trouble.

    I can "live" with the fact the mindless voters voted a drug-trafficker in Congress. At least, people didn't have the idea what this people has done in secret while campaigning.

    What I can't live is the fact that Jalosjos, a convicted child rapist, was elected in Congress.

Filipinos cannot progress if they cannot follow even simple guidelines

A noted blog commentator once made an assertion that the Philippines will never be a great nation unless Filipinos learn to live by the principle of the "rule of law". Indeed, some people even insist that none of the calls by certain sectors of Philippine society for a system change like a shift from a Presidential to a Parliamentary system or even constitutional amendments will work to uplift the status of the nation because Filipinos simply cannot follow the "rule of law."

Google Philippines' Top 20 most influential Filipino women

I recently got a load of Google's list of most "influential" Filipinas (Filipino women) for 2010. The list is utterly dominated by performers along with a handful of notable exceptions: Senator Miriam Santiago (no. 10), Doris Dumlao (journalist, no. 12), Monique Lhullier (designer, no. 17), and Korina Sanchez (journalist, no. 19). These 20 ladies supposedly "grabbed the greatest online mindshare in 2010". So presumably, they reflect the substance of the Filipino collective mind.

Roundabouts to "solve" Manila traffic - a microcosm of flawed Filipino thinking

-
Image
Roundabouts (or "rotundas" as they are more commonly known as in the Philippines) are being touted by the cash-strapped Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) as "an alternative measure to ease traffic congestion". According to a "simulation study", the MMDA foresees a "200% increase in the speed" of areas where roundabouts can be successfully implemented. ABS-CBN News reports that MMDA spokesperson Tina Velasco expects the following specific benefits coming from the increased use of roundabouts in Metro Manila's intersections:
