In 2006 Risa Hontiveros faced off against cops while calling for the ouster of President Arroyo.
This woman has courageously stood up for us her whole life despite the risk and despite the odds.
Sen. Risa Hontiveros vented frustrations apparently directed at some of her peers following Wednesday night’s shooting incident inside the Senate premises and the predawn disappearance of Sen. Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa from the building.

Plenary today moved forward with measures that matter. In my capacity as Senate President Pro Tempore, I served as temporary presiding officer and guided the session toward key reforms.
As Chairperson of the Senate Committee on Higher, Technical, and Vocational Education and Co Chairperson of EDCOM II, I authored Senate Bill No. 1894, which was approved on third reading to enhance the Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act. The measure ensures that government education subsidies are better directed toward financially vulnerable students and broadens the Tertiary Education Subsidy to cover books, transportation, room and board, and other incidental expenses for grantees.
We also passed the Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situations (AICS) Act, a measure which institutionalizes the DSWD’s crisis assistance program to ensure faster, clearer, and more accountable aid for Filipinos facing sudden hardship.

WATCH: Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano calls it “a bit rude” for five senators to file a resolution urging a unified stance calling for the voluntary surrender of Senator Bato dela Rosa.
Senators Bam Aquino, Risa Hontiveros, Ping Lacson, Kiko Pangilinan, and Tito Sotto filed the measure. Cayetano said they could have first discussed it with the majority bloc, including Dela Rosa. | @eimorpsantos
