Miriam arrived an hour and a half late in a speaking engagement organized by a sorority way back in the late 90's at UP Manila. The senator hurriedly went up the LT stage, gave a quick glance at her audience and, with full confidence, she remarked "I am worth the wait." Everyone burst into laughter and in complete agreement.  This was before the era of the legislator's famous barrage of pick-up lines nevertheless her speech that afternoon remained interspersed with her signature polemics.  Miriam indeed never fails to both amaze and amuse her audience and political observers.  #pagalingpo
