Then Vice President Jejomar Binay’s youngest daughter, Abigail, had hand-delivered a letter to the Palace indicating her father’s abrupt resignation from President Benigno Aquino III’s Cabinet—obvious posturing ahead of his own 2016 run for President, but a bombshell nonetheless.

But there’s also the everyday, equally invidious power bestowed by flawed systems unto people in our homes, schools and communities. A different President and Vice President are now similarly tussling over a Cabinet position.
