In her response to the initial Q and A round, Rabiya also mentioned that Santiago could have been the country’s ‘best president that we never had’.
“If I were given the chance, I want to use the face of Miriam Defensor Santiago. For those who don’t know, she was an Ilongga. But what I admired about her is that she used her knowledge, her voice to serve the country. I want to be somebody like her, somebody who puts her heart, her passion into action. After all, she is the best President that we never had,” said Mateo.
