Stupid is Forever is a 2014 comedy book by former Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago, published by ABS-CBN Publishing.[2]
Stupid is Forever is composed of Santiago's one-line jokes, comebacks, and pick-up lines which she delivers in her speeches on topics like the pork barrel scandal, former Vice President Jejomar Binay, and the state of governance in the Philippines.[3] [4]
The book also features illustrations from Cj de Silva-Ong, Manix Abrera, Elbert Or, and Rob Cham.[5]
The book has sold over 110,000 copies since its launch in December 2014, making it the country's fastest best-selling book of 2014.[6]
The Philippine Daily Inquirer called the book the "essential Miriam Defensor Santiago, and it sold out as quickly as she could fire punch lines."[7]
A sequel titled Stupid is Forevermore, also published by ABS-CBN Publishing, was released a year later on her 70th birthday in 2015.[8] [9] The use of the word Forevermore was taken from an ABS-CBN romantic drama series of the same name.[10]
