The start of my internship in Congress began on May 29, 2017. The first thing I did that day was to accompany my father to a Gathering for Civil Liberties, an event hosted by Senator Risa Hontiveros. The purpose of the event was to talk about Martial Law, which the President had declared due to the recent attack on Marawi. There were many influential people who attended the event, and shared their opinions on what the next course of action should be.
While they were discussing and sharing their ideas, I was able to learn many new things.
