Philippine Embassy Slams CBS Over 'Madam Secretary' Episode

A fictional show about a fictional top U.S. diplomat has evoked a real response from the Philippine diplomatic service. The Philippine embassy in the U.S. is taking exception with how an upcoming episode of the CBS drama series Madam Secretary portrays a President of the country. In the trailer for an episode entitled "Break in Diplomacy," scheduled to air in the U.S. on March 12, the series' eponymous Secretary of State, Elizabeth McCord (played by Tea Leoni), is seen throwing a punch at a character playing the Philippine President and bloodying his nose, after he makes sexually suggestive moves at her during a private meeting.
