The totally legit elections quiz
MANILA, Philippines - We’re almost at the end of this circus of a campaign season. With just a few days left, we will finally know if the light at the end of P-Noy’s Daang Matuwid is one of hope or that of an ignited gunpowder from a .45 caliber aimed straight at us. With so much fear and uncertainty knocking on our doors, we take a break from sheer terror and present an elections exam made with the right mix of dread and levity. Because who knows, this might be the last exercise in free speech we’ll ever get to do.
