The fact that she came from a privileged background makes this more impressive.
She didn't need to, but she chooses to fight for what is right and just.
I'm loving the sudden surge of support for Sen Risa.
I hope magviral din ulit ang mga nagawa ni Risa for us -- extended maternity leaves, safe spaces act, Alice Guo, exposés on corruption.
Never ever underestimate Risa Hontiveros. She won her reelection bid in 2022 amidst the Uniteam wave. She stayed in the 2-man Minority in 19th (?) Congress but still was able to pass landmark laws while investigating Alice Guo and Quiboloy. Huwag niyo siyanh maliitin.
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.
