What can be a more perfect leader for Filipinos than the cross-dressing Filipino showbiz star Vice Ganda. Indeed, democracy, is the system of government that just keeps on giving. If Vice Ganda at least runs for — much more, wins — the presidency, Filipinos will be given the gift of clarity around just how stupid they are as a people.

Small surprise then that “the poor” and their impoverished thinking routinely go on to trump all else in the Philippines’ national “debate” year after year after year.
