Earlier this month, Karen Davila, host of ANC’s Headstart, interviewed actress-turned politician Alma Moreno, who is running for senator under the United Nationalist Alliance (UNA), which is led by presidential candidate and current Vice President Jejomar Binay.
The interview segment runs for 23 minutes and starts getting awkward at the 9:44 mark.
It was at that point that Davila asked Moreno, “If you won a Senate seat, what would be your advocacy in the Senate?” Moreno replied, “Ah, more on sa kababaihan (women)…” Davila countered with, “Like what?” Moreno answered, “Boses ng kababaihan (the voice of women)… Magna Carta of Women…”

To which Davila remarked, “But then the law exists already.” Moreno then said, “Pero may mga bagay na di na-implement (There are things that have not been implemented).” Davila again asked, “Like what?” Moreno, at this point, laughed nervously and said, “Teka muna (Wait a second).”
It only goes downhill from there, as Moreno scrambles to answer Davila’s questions, such as the one on the reproductive health law. Moreno once again laughed nervously and remarked, “Kailangan pa bang sagutin (Do I need to answer that)?” Davila said, “Of course. You are running for the Senate.”
Watch it and weep.
