    @iamaruminant,
    WTF! bakit aquaculture at Fisheries Resources? anong malay niyan sa Biological/Life Sciences? or TESDA? Ito ang summary natin:
    IDIOT CANDIDATES + IDIOT VOTERS=IDIOT NATION
    Mga wala na kasing kita ito sa SHOWBIZ kaya pulitika naman ang pinasok.

    POLITICS is the fastest way to WEALTH & POWER. We are just wasting tax payers money on these *ssh*l*s!

    @Tita Aida

    Indeed, I was being a bit sarcastic...

    I am wondering what committees Lani Mercado could join. Maybe Aquaculture and Fisheries Resources? I'm sure she is well-versed in that field. Civil Service and Professional Regulation? Or how about Higher and Technical Education? Surely she mentioned her thoughts on the matter in her campaign platform. Oh wait I don't think I heard her campaign platform...

    Bong Revilla topping the senate poll; Tito Sotto making a comeback; Lito Lapid over Riza Hontiveros for the final 2 slots - WTF??

    Mas nanaisin pa palang makita ng karamihan sila Panday, Tito at Leon Guerrero sa Senado kaysa kila Riza Hontiveros at Ka Satur Ocampo. At pagkatapos ano? Gagawa lang sila ng mga pelikula sa loob ng 6 na taon.. Yeah! B*S

    I should have said this during my kindergarten graduation: "When I grow up I want to be a celebrity.. so that I could become a senator and be very rich!" (bow) flawless!!!

    If Filipinos really want "CHANGE", it should not only stop with choosing the right president. Change would only take place if we change leaders down to the local positions. Now, how can we expect change if same old sh*&^t people are in position?!How ironic..we have a new president but look at the senators and also take a closer look at the governor, mayor and councilors we voted. We can only pray for a miracle to happen.

    With due respect, I can't recall any spectacular "legislative" record of Bong Revilla.

    "Senate Hearing" record (no pun intended Hayden Kho), yes; however, it was selective.

    If he was a champion of women's rights, where was Bong when Chavit's gf was physically abused?

    I am so happy that we are finally getting even more free entertainment from our stunningly appointed government.

    Thank you, Pilipinas. You make democracy look fantastic.

    Apparently millions of people thought we were voting for PBB. Good luck Cavite. I am sure Lani Mercado will have as spectacular of a legislative record as Bong Revilla.
