In The Public Square: Risa Hontiveros and the Opposition

A week ago, Senator Risa Hontiveros formally ended the long-running legislative inquiry into Philippine overseas gaming operators (POGOs). She had led the probe as chair of the Senate committee on women, children, and family relations.

The stunning revelations at the hearings have forced the public to view not only POGOs but the Rodrigo Duterte administration that encouraged them in a new light. The findings of the inquiry also thrust Senator Hontiveros, the only member of the political opposition in the Senate, even further into the limelight.

In this 100th episode of In The Public Square, Rappler columnist and editorial consultant John Nery is joined by none other than opposition senator Hontiveros herself.
