Sen. Manuel Roxas II has gone from “Boy Padyak” to “Boy Bawang” with his recent gimmick on the Senate floor: wearing a garland of garlic while he railed  against the Con-Asswang (Constituent Assembly Monster, but the cleverness is lost in translation) in a privilege speech.

He later distributed garlic to his fellow senators as a symbol of their opposition to the Con-Asswang, presumably some sort of vampire-like creature that sucks the lifeblood out of people. So, congressmen, basically.

Political gimmick! *hiss!*
