Skeletons in the Chamber

After a particularly tumultuous and controversial election in 2022, Bongbong Marcos and Sara Duterte ascend to the Presidency and Vice Presidency, propelled by coordinated efforts of the disinformation and revisionism machine.

The Senate, about to start the 19th Congress, remained business as usual and dived into another round of clandestine compromises, shady under-the-table deals, and covert political maneuvers. As always, everyone in the chamber scrabbled for their share of the power pie (or called out those who dogfight for that share, for the more ethically inclined).

Within these decorated halls, we zoom in on four esteemed and honorable (though that may be debatable) lawmakers who attempt to navigate the august chamber amidst their hidden secrets, fears, and personal turmoil.
