There are confessions that are uttered way too late.
For many years now, Senator Risa Hontiveros has used her voice to fight for the Filipino people. Bold in debate, resolute in principle, and always truthful.
There is one thing, however, that she has yet to say aloud.
It only takes Risa much effort to confess her love to Senator Sherwin Gatchalian, but fate says it all first.
"She finally said yes."
Having heard that her lover has finally found himself another, Risa keeps her feelings hidden behind a façade of a smile and decides to preserve their friendship instead.
In a place where every word matters and every decision is life-changing, the most painful regret could just be an unconfessed confession.
Sometimes, the greatest struggles aren't fought in the session hall, but in the depths of the heart.
