Only In The Philippines

...can you find an incumbent President running for a legislative position.

...can you find a past President who is seeking reelection because he was not able to finish his 6 year term.

...can you find 'nuisance candidates' running for President of the country.

...can you find politicians transferring from one party to another, just to get the best position to win the election.

...can you find politicians who still demand "royal" treatment, even though it's clear that when they took their oath into public office they promised to "serve the people".

...can you find someone who killed several people and still be given special treatment while behind bars.

...can you find a lot of actors and actresses seeking public office.

...can you find a politician who claims to be "one with the poor" and yet has never, ever been subject to experiences that those poor people had because he/she was born to a very wealthy family.

...can you find people who, despite the numerous natural disasters that came and went, still smile.

...can you find people who, despite having not enough money to buy food, own expensive cellphones.

...can you find a lot of latest-model cars plying the traffic-ridden streets, even though it's been considered a third-world country.

...can you find 5- to 10-year old city buses from Japan being cleaned and reused like new ones.

...can you find trains that have special coaches for female passengers that are not crowded, and yet not all women go to them.

Care to add some more? As the typical Filipino expression goes, "Bato bato sa langit, ang tamaa'y huwag magalit!" :)
