LOOK: Senator Risa Hontiveros leads other minority senators Frank Drilon, Kiko Pangilinan and Leila de Lima in filing a reso urging the Senate to give the Senate Medal of Excellence to Rappler CEO Maria Ressa for winning the Nobel Peace Prize. | via @maracepeda 
@maracepeda Hontiveros: Conferring the Senate Medal of Excellence on Maria Ressa is mandatory and procedural. It’s not up for vote or debate. | via @maracepeda
@maracepeda Hontiveros: Whatever side you look at it from, Maria Ressa’s feat is important for our country and all freedom-loving nations. We have a duty at the Senate to uplift and acknowledge our fellow Filipinos when we make our mark in the world. | via @maracepeda
@maracepeda Hontiveros: Maria Ressa is the first ever Filipino Nobel Peace Prize winner. To purposely ignore this achievement would be to wash away an amazing victory of a Filipina from our history books. | via @maracepeda
@maracepeda Hontiveros: This is a chance for the Senate as an institution to show that it remains true to its values of free speech and genuine democracy. | via @maracepeda
