Perhaps a cognitive test for the President?

During the incumbency of United States Republican president Donald J. Trump, he submitted himself to a cognitive ability test in response to critics who excoriated him about his competence, i.e., to see if he is crazy or not. He aced it and the doubt was settled, except for the hardliners of the rival Democratic Party.

President Duterte wants Filipinos who have not been vaccinated against COVID-19 be thrown in jail (“Amid scarcity, Duterte wants COVID-19 vax refusers jailed,” 6/23/21), despite the fact that there are not enough vaccines available to millions of Filipinos. He would need to build the biggest jail in the world to contain more than 100 million Filipinos.

Doesn’t anyone think it’s time for Mr. Duterte to undergo that same cognitive test? Asking lang po.
