“In showbiz, Maja Salvador. In politics, Senator Risa Hontiveros.” Chairman Chito Gascon said, when asked to who is his crush in showbiz and in politics. In a separate thread, he was asked who wanted to portray him if his life story will be made into a movie. “I would want Ian Veneracion, as some people say I look like him. Or he looks like me.” He noted.

But of course, Redditors also asked some serious and timely questions, and one of them is the true meaning of the mandate of CHR. Under the 1987 Constitution, CHR shall aid the Executive in ensuring the continued protection of the constitutional and human rights of all citizens. However, many Filipinos feel that CHR is only protecting the criminals.
“Normal criminal cases are primarily a police matter, but the CHR remains concerned about all violations, and will point it out to the State when it falls short in respecting, protecting, and fulfilling human rights. We need to understand that the CHR is not a police or law enforcement institution. It is primarily a watchdog and monitoring institution.” He said.
Meanwhile, Sen Hontiveros has not yet commented on Chairman Gascon’s admission that she is his crush in politics. Nevertheless, some reporters bumped in Sen. Kiko Pangilinan on Saturday, and asked his reaction. And although it was obvious that he was surprised with the questions, he maintained his composure, and answered it like a showbiz personality.
“Una sa lahat, close friends kami ni Sen Risa, pero mas maganda kung siya ang tanungin. But of course, I’m she will be flattered. But personally, wala naming masama sa pag-amin ni Chito (Gascon) kasi crush lang naman yun. Kahit naman siguro sinong lalaki, magka crush sa isang tulad ni Risa. Maganda na, matalino pa.” Sen. Pangilinan said.
