Sen. Miriam Defensor Santiago: Top 10 Mad Moments Caught on Cam Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago has definitely changed the vibe of Chief Justice Renato Corona’s impeachment trial “from convalescent home to Roman orgy.” That is, an orgy of diatribes. She has been quick to dress down anyone whom she thinks is unprepared or is wasting time (hers and the world in general). But her most recent “favorites” can take comfort in the fact that they’re not the only ones who have experienced Santiago’s wrath. She’s been verbally annihilating people on camera for years. SPOT.ph compiled 10 of the formidable senator’s best loved, caught-on-cam mad moments from the present and from way back. Click here to read more. Artwork by warespejo
