Sen. Risa Hontiveros - May we prove worthy of the trust that our people have placed in us

Senator Risa Hontiveros condemns the gunfire inside the Senate—something not seen even during martial law—calling it a deep injury to the institution's dignity. She rejects the normalization of aggression and political humiliation, insisting the Senate is not beyond repair. She urges colleagues to live up to public trust and prove the institution can still reflect the best of the Filipino people.
