July is usually a month when Congress reporters hardly have anything to write about because our honorable legislators are on recess (read – vacationing abroad).

Some lawmakers use this lull to try to grab media attention. As an example, look at Senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos.

His spin doctors are no doubt telling him that this year, he should project himself on the national stage, with an eye on next year’s presidential election.
