A week ago, Senator Risa Hontiveros formally ended the long-running legislative inquiry into Philippine overseas gaming operators (POGOs). She had led the probe as chair of the Senate committee on women, children, and family relations.

The findings of the inquiry also thrust Senator Hontiveros, the only member of the political opposition in the Senate, even further into the limelight.
