Richard Javad Haeydarian writes a puff piece for Risa Hontiveros… Over the past four years, she has fought for human rights and democracy, for social justice and decency, and took up the cudgels, often alone and at great personal risk, for the voiceless victims of the madness that is authoritarian populism.
