Margie Holmes on Estrada’s hubris

‘Those accused of hubris often come from higher social backgrounds, such as politicians or wealthy celebrities, but they need not.

He is so sure everyone will be taken in by his charm no one will notice. Filipino politicians are so full of hubris that I don’t know where to start!
