Election Series # 1: Nothing Says "Sellout" Like This Picture

Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce to you the "Honorable" Alan Peter Cayetano, shown here holding a balut (that's a steamed duck egg with embryo for non-Filipinos) with his name on it. Not because he owns the egg, mind you, but because it's a new campaign strategy of his. Sheesh. The lengths the politicians we have here go to just to get noticed. Whatever happened to achievements? Credentials?

Sadly, in this country, the majority of the electorate doesn't give a damn about those things.

What'll these politicians think of next? Oh, there's Manny Villar and Miguel Zubiri, the "dancing politicians". More on them later.
