So now that Congress voted yes for the death penalty bill, what’s next? Well, the bill isn’t law yet.
Madam Secretary, a political drama on US network CBS, aired a promo for an upcoming episode this week that sees its protagonist, fictional US Secretary of State Elizabeth McCord (played by Tea Leoni) punk out the fictional Philippine president Datu Andrada (played by Joel dela Fuente) after he seemingly makes inappropriate advances toward her, as implied by the teaser.
