Getting personal with Risa Hontiveros

Akbayan party-list Representative Risa Hontiveros almost made it to the Magic 12 in her first attempt to become a senator in the 2007 elections, placing 13th. Will she make it this time? Get to know more about Ms. Hontiveros, who authored the controversial RH bill and worked hard to have it passed into law, in this video interview, the 14th in the series of INQuest interviews by INQUIRER.net. She relates how she decided to become an activist, mainly influenced by her mother when she was in high school; how she started wearing the "alampay," now her "fashion statement"; and how she struggles as a single mom "making ends meet," among others. What are her three priority bills if she becomes a senator? Find out in this interview.

Spoiler: She didnt make it this year, but she most definitely did at her 3rd (2016) run and my favorite 4th (2022) run! SHE HAS BEEN SLAYING IN THE SENATE EVER SINCE, ESPECIALLY RIGHT NOW NA SHE'S THE SOLE OPPOSITION AT THE SENATE (along with sen. Koko)...mejo mahaba haba pa ang laban...im hoping for the best.... and i also hope to see her continue working (maybe as a senator, senate president, or vp pati na rin presi position hehe kasama si atty. Leni🤞)

Indi nman kailangan maging pilitician kung gsto mu talga mang silbi sa bayan.... All of us can help and make a difference on our respective community we live in... If we truly care to help and give aid to the people around us, we can if we choose....
