The sight of the president filing her certificate of candidacy for congresswoman is truly pathetic. She had that forced smile in her face. I have a feeling she really wanted none of this but at the same time I also imagine at what she must have been through before arriving at this decision especially seeing the infamous first gentleman beside her, how she must have been bullied, shouted at, or even threatened, not by the opposition, but instead by people who should have her best interest in their hearts. For this, I truly pity the president for having been used. On the other hand, she only has herself to blame for allowing herself to be used. She should have learned to stand up for the Filipino people, notwithstanding the presence of the imposing so called first gentleman.
