Spice Boys (House of Representatives of the Philippines)

The Spice Boys

The Spice Boys were six neophyte and two-term congressmen of the House of Representatives of the Philippines openly critical of the administration during Joseph Estrada's term as President of the Philippines.[1][2] The group's name is an allusion to the British girl-group, the Spice Girls. They also played a key role in Estrada's removal from office.[3][4]

The Estrada administration's equivalent of this opposition clique was a seven-member group of congressmen Estrada christened as the "Bright Boys".
