Castor pulls back the velvet curtain on one of the most dangerous illusions in modern Philippine democracy: that power resides in the President.

With chapters like "Tyranny by Default" and "The Budget Becomes a Weapon," this book shines a light on the quiet coup happening under the guise of public service.</p><p><em>Congressional Tyranny</em> is not a conspiracy theoryits a mirror held up to a system designed to protect itself. A must-read for anyone who still believes that the greatest threat to democracy comes from above, when in truth, it may already be seated in session.</p>...7074838Congressional Tyranny: How Lawmakers Became Kings193193https://www.gandhi.com.mx/congressional-tyranny--how-lawmakers-became-kings-9798230355809/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/7045024/image.jpg?v=638798163091530000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20259798230355809_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9798230355809_<p><strong>What if the real dictators never wore military uniformsbut barongs and lapel pins?</strong><br />In <em>Congressional Tyranny</em>, A.A.
