Right now, as I type this, they’re having some sort of debate at the House of Representatives over House Resolution 1109. I don’t have TV, and even then I’m here at the mall right now, using the free WiFi to work. Anyway, Manuel L. Quezon III is live-tweeting the proceedings.

Anyway, speaking of government!Fail, check out Patricia Evangelista’s PDI article and Ian Casocot’s blog post on the senate hearings on the Hayden-Halili sex video scandal. Yes, non-Filipino readers, you read that right. The Philippines is so prosperous and crime-free, our elected officials have nothing better to do than hold hearings on publicly leaked sex videos.
