DROPPED FROM ROLL An empty frame and nameless space is all that is left of what was once a portrait of Sen. Loren Legarda alongside other distinguished Assumption College San Lorenzo alumnae on its Wall of Empowered Women who have been honored by their alma mater.

A groundswell of outrage and dismay is growing among students over actions taken by the new Senate leadership following their recent “coup” in the chamber, ahead of the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte, and Sen. Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa’s evasion of an International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant.
