>http://www.youtube.com/get_playerNarito ang ilang mga eksena ni Senadora Miriam Defensor Santiago mula sa mga statement niya hanggang sa mga Senate Hearing na ipinalabas noong Thursday sa TV Patrol World. Kilala natin lahat kung paano magsalita si Sen.

Matapos nating kondenahin si Malu Fernandez noong binatikos niya ang mga Overseas Filipino Workers, at magprotesta labas sa ABC sa palabas nitong Desperate Houesewives noong ipinasok sa isang eksenang may panunutya sa mga kababayan nating mga doktor.At ngayon isang birong hindi man lang nakakatawa kung paano ginawang katawa tawa ang isang Pinay Domestic Helper sa sitcom na Harry and Paul na kung saan inutusang sumayaw na malaswa ang Domestic Helper para aliwin ang isang bisita.Namulat ako sa iba’t ibang mukha…
