#1 Ah, Philippino women. Inside every one of them is a dictator trying to get out. I don't know what the US military club system and AAFES is going to do without them running the place.

#2 Shoes are the key. How many pairs of shoes does she own? Need to ask that question first.

#3 The ruling is really a good thing here but I'm afraid she will continue to ignore the ruling. When she declaired a state of emergency it was clear she was within her autority. But then she had police and military loyal to her go around and arrest all the leaders she held suspect. For example the SAF leaders COL and above were jailed. The Scout Ranger leaders except one, cause he was on Jolo, were detained. The Marine commander was restricted to post, etc... She has had a tendancy to all along to disregard the law.

We must not forget she took power not by election but by coup. Then the reelection was full of corruption. Reports of provences voting 100% for here were reported. It will be interesting to see what happens when her term nears closure. She will do something crazy to maintain power. All in all, great theater.
