Why run for Congress

1. If you win the elections, you get 5 GOLD (and a shiny Congress Member Medal (or Trophy (whatever))).

2. You get bragging rights/street cred/something to write on your e-resumé.

3. Er... you get a chance to serve your country and contribute to the betterment of society?



What Congress Members do

1. Debate and argue with each other in the forums.

2. Propose and vote on laws that will
-set the country’s tax rates,
-set the minimum wage,
-print more money, and
-transfer funds from the national treasury to the central bank.

3. Approve citizenship applications of immigrants.

4. Impeach the President if he’s no good. (Don’t even think about it.) >:

Yes... it's sad enough at the American Congress, for some reason I can still imagine it here in small Philippines. Congress is a scary place.

Filipino congresspeople are gentlemen (ladies) and therefore do not insult each other.

Dunno. Just thought it'd be catchy.

No. Actually, no. This is a series just like my campaign series and my Civil Service series. So DYWYCTBG will be slapped on each of the titles in the series to indicate continuity.
