A Filipino motorist told me a funny story. If the policeman stops you on the road, names your infraction, and then asks you if you have an attorney, that means he is soliciting you for a bribe, because banknotes in the Philippines all have politicians on them, just like in the USA. Negotiations are beginning at this point when you name your attorney. Ben Franklin is an excellent attorney, while Abe Lincoln, who was a high powered corporate attorney (railroads) before becoming a politician, is sadly underqualified.
