I may have neglected to blog about this particular item before: Senator Tessie-Aquino Oreta was seen triumphantly dancing, openly gloating, and even making faces at the opposition after winning the vote against opening the controversial envelopes. Her actions were immature and completely inapproppriate, no matter who she claims they were directed at.

It has been a costly indignity for her, earning her the wrath of negative public opinion, and forever marking her as “Dancing Balato Queen” of the Senate. I doubt she’ll ever be able to live down the people’s reactions to her immaturity.
