I read about that item on lukayo (can’t remember if I read it in MLQ3′s blog (?)

Wonder why MTCRB banned it… it’s Philippine folklore; it was no less offensive than those lenten crucifixions and flagellations we see on TV.

In short the root of problem is not legal but mental, in fact, the head of state could not be made to understand the obvious nor admit the truth. But there is a legal solution for the problem of the state but not for the head. The separation of a head of state, whose head is in a very bad state, from the seat of power of the state could be based on the Constitutional provisions on her disability to govern. Article VII. Sec.11 provides for when “the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office”. Congress “determines by a two-thirds vote of both Houses, voting separately, that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice- President shall act as President; otherwise, the President shall continue exercising the powers and duties of his office” Also.Section 12. In case of serious (mental) illness of the President, the public shall be informed of the state of her (mental) health. But the state of mind in the lower house is the same as that of the head. Who will address the state of the nation that is in as bad a state as the mental state of the head of state who is separated from reality, the church, the constitution and the people?

For those who haven't seen it yet, watch for its replays. How to distract the public from focusing on a President's "sins" by creating a fictitious war. That's the theme. It's the favorite movie of the Palace spinmasters (Saludo, Lupita, little Mike, et al.), that's for sure. The movie “Wag the Dog” is being shown again on HBO.

I wonder how its gonna be when she really crumbles. Will she go peacefully or go all out biting every critic in sight? Is exile an option? Her attack dogs, now barking at the Bishops, are rabid. How do we deal with them? Schumey, GMA is cracking up, she’s gone mad, telling the Pope about pesky Bishops, waving that encyclical like she can fool everyone, including the Pope.
