The issue of corruption in the military is slowly boiling up to the surface. And in the forefront of the discussion is the avowed crusader against graft and corruption Senator Merriam Defensor-Santiago. Again the Filipino people is given a show of her english language skills (complete with the oft-parodied enunciation she got from who knows where). Her verbal skills are frightening: always trying to put an extra word for emphasis; and with multi-syllabic words, she lazily rolls the last syllable on her tongue. Sometimes, I think she loves the comma, inserting pauses (commas) like she was strewing humps on the road of to our understanding whatever she was saying.
Crazy lady.
With all the talk about the corrupt BIR and corrupt judges, she never, not once uttered a word for or against these people. I wonder if she was an heiress. That would be the only explanation for her extravagant lifestyle, something a former judge like her could not afford on a judge's salary. Then again, her husband did work himself up in the BIR's bureaucratic ladder. On the field, collecting and examing taxes.
Crazy.
