Dalawang senador lang ang binigyan ng SB19 ng book nila. I'll take it as a sign.
Risa Hontiveros for president
Bam Aquino for vice president
MARK MY WORDS.
Can already see the huge mountain we need to climb over. Gonna be a long and difficult hike ahead. But with SenRi at the helm, tingin ko kaya namang sumugal ulit.

โPagod na ako. Pagod na akong mag-depensa sa sarili ko. Gusto ko nalang mag-trabaho.โ Mayor Leni explained why she prefers staying in local rather than returning to national.
They just bombed Al-Nasser Hospital in Gaza.
Sorry to interrupt your scrolling with another Palestinian tragedy. You may now return to pretending you didnโt see this.
So the government is actually capable of cleaning the streets, fixing damaged roads, repainting public spaces, and improving the appearance of our cities? All this time, they knew how to do it, but it takes an ASEAN Summit for them to finally take action?
Isn't that an insult to the very people they are supposed to serve?
It's interesting how quickly neglected areas suddenly receive attention when foreign delegates are expected to arrive. Streets are cleaned, roads are repaired, public spaces are beautified, and everything is made presentable. But why does it take international attention for these improvements to happen?
Filipinos have been living with these same problems for years. We deal with poorly maintained roads, dirty surroundings, neglected public facilities, and temporary repairs that barely solve anything. Yet suddenly, everything becomes a priority when the country is about to welcome foreign visitors.
Our communities deserve the same attention. Our people deserve the same effort. Clean surroundings, safe roads, and properly maintained public spaces should never be treated as special preparations for an international event. They are basic responsibilities of the government.
And after the ASEAN Summit is over, what happens next? Will the maintenance continue, or will our cities slowly return to the same condition?
The problem isn't that the government can make our cities look presentable. The problem is that it seems to take an international audience for them to remember that Filipinos deserve to live in decent communities, too.
Public service should not be a performance staged for foreign visitors. It should be a responsibility fulfilled for the people every single day.
Nasa Bargaining stage of grief pa rin ang iba. It took a while for me, but nasa Acceptance na ako.
Largely because SenRi presented herself as a worthy candidate.
Hindi siya rebound. Siya na talaga from the start.
Kaya naman, #RiseWithRisa.

You don't recall?
Honestly, half a million is not cheap change. You don't forget something like that. Unless sanay na sa pagtanggap ng ganyan kalaking pera. You're either a thief or a liar. Or both. Damn.

BAKIT SI RISA HONTIVEROS SA 2028?
Because the Filipino people deserve a President who remembers that public office is a responsibility, not a privilege.
We deserve someone who understands that behind every statistic is a Filipino family struggling to make ends meet. Behind every proposed law is a mother hoping her daughter will be safer, a child deserving protection, a worker fighting for dignity, and an ordinary citizen simply wishing for a government that cares.
For years, Risa has been fighting for these people. Not just through speeches, but through legislation, public service, and the courage to stand her ground even when the odds were against her.
She has fought for women, children, workers, families, and communities whose voices are too often ignored.
She has faced powerful people, endured relentless attacks, and remained committed to the work she believes needs to be done.
And perhaps that's what we need to recognize.
We don't need another leader who knows how to make promises. We need someone who understands that leadership means showing up, doing the work, making difficult decisions, and remaining accountable to the people even when the cameras are gone.
Is Risa perfect? No. But perfection has never been the standard. What matters is her record, her principles, her willingness to serve, and her capacity to lead.
Some will say she isn't winnable. But elections are not won by simply accepting what others tell us is impossible. They are won by people who believe in something enough to work for it.
If we want a different kind of leadership, we must also be willing to help build the support behind it.
To every Filipino who is tired of corruption, political theatrics, broken promises, and leaders who seem to forget the people after winning: perhaps it's time we give serious consideration to someone who has spent years doing the work.
We owe it to ourselves and to the next generation to look beyond political colors, personalities, and popularity.
We owe it to our country to choose based on competence, integrity, compassion, and a genuine commitment to public service.
Risa Hontiveros in 2028 is not about putting one politician above everyone else. It's about giving this country a chance to experience leadership that puts the Filipino people first.
Because at the end of the day, this isn't about who gets to sit in Malacaรฑang. It's about the millions of Filipinos whose lives will be affected by whoever sits there.
And they deserve better.
Risa na sa 2028.
For the country we still believe is worth fighting for.
