Our national treasure, Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago, as usual ruffled some feathers with her latest pasaring to her co-legislators implicated in the pork barrel controversy.
"Eat, blank, and die," she said, and coming from her there's no guessing that "blank" was in place of a curse. No wonder many of her nemeses consider her the Maleficent of Senate because she throws curses without so much of a ritual.

And certainly the curse is not enough for she continued: "Abolish the Congress. Commit harakiri. We owe it to the Filipino people. Wear our Filipino robes, bow in front of TV and harakiri ourselves."
She also imparted she will not visit any of her colleagues should they are put behind bars for their corrupt practices.
"Papadalhan ko sila ng CD ng speeches ko. Paandarin nila doon," the senator said.
Better ask Atty. Vitaliano Aguirre how torturous it is to hear Santiago's "shrill voice". Aguirre was the lawyer during the impeachment trial of former Chief Justice Renato Corona who dared to cover his ears when Santiago was heatedly giving the prosecution panel a dressing down.

I personally know that Madam Santiago never minces words. I saw Sen. Santiago during my Diliman days as she was one of our resource persons on a symposium about law and the mass media. In she walked with a bevy of bodyguards, heady perfume and, wow, a pair of sexy legs! When everyone was settled in for the program to start, she maneuvered the mic her way - I can't remember how she did it - and announced that the law cited on the poster behind her was already obsolete and that there's had been a more current jurisprudence relating to the topic. The organizers, as expected, were quite abashed considering their ignorance and failure to research more on the subject matter. LOL. Good thing she was in a good mood and hadn't delivered a lecture to the organizers about their inactive neurons
