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]
Reception
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]
Sequel
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]
