Upgrade Job requirements for president

Here’s another constitutional amendment that’s absolutely necessary:

The required qualifications for the Philippine president need to be upgraded.

Presently, our Constitution states that the president must be a natural-born Filipino citizen — a registered voter able to read and write, at least 40 years old on election day and a Philippine resident for at least 10 years before the election.

I recently sent my application (with the above qualifications) for any supervisory position in five very small corporations. I got five rejection letters back—some with nasty comments.

What is my point?

The Philippine president is the CEO of our country’s top corporation — the government.

And we require only that the president be able… to read and write!

And we wonder why our country was run by an ex-actor and a mama’s boy. Ridiculous.
