I wasn't paid to write this. Anyone who would pay me for writing is nuts! You see, I'm a horrible writer. I shouldn't even use the word writer to describe myself because I know I suck. But not my cousin, Ma. Gisela Ordenes. The Philippines hopes for good governance. Not that she's interested in running for office (or are you?). Lala swears she's never cheated in any quiz she had for the past decade, and I believe her because apart from being honest, a good writer, a woman with strong opinions, fine voice, and all right, natural beauty; Lala is the epitome of sugar and spice and almost everything nice.
