How many times have we heard the words “Objection, Your Honor” in the past few weeks? So many times that they have almost become part of our everyday vocabulary. For once, our political language sounds almost civilized. After years when words like “tang ina” (damn you / a vulgar curse) and “patayin ta ka” (I’ll kill you) were thrown around so casually that even children could recognize them, the impeachment proceedings of Vice President Sara Duterte have introduced a differen
