Politicians Suck

My daughter is on her way to work (she is on her 3rd day of her first job, which is also at The Manila Times, because nepotism), and she encountered this parade accompanying Manila Mayor Honey Lacuna to the COMELEC offices (which are, unfortunately, a block away from ours) for the filing of her Certificate of Candidacy for the May 2025 elections. 

My daughter's comment: "Bruh. The drums. This is so obnoxious."

The deadline for filing is on October 8, I believe, so the last couple of days have been a circus, although this is the worst that I've seen so far. There is literally no purpose to them doing this. 

Politicians, with a few exceptions, are one step above mold on the totem pole of life forms, as far as I'm concerned.
