Yeah, That's true and we just have to accept that. At least we still have de lima as one of the brilliant woman senators, LOL

[Jeemee]

I hope she dies with peace of mind.

I really admire how brilliant and feisty Miriam Defensor Santiago is.

Those Senate hearings could have been more exciting and funny if Former Sen. Miriam Defensor Santiago is among the committee who is investigating the extra judicial killing.  Unfortunately we have to bear with the wits of Sen. Leila de Lima, Sen. Antonio Trillaes VI  and Sen. Frank Drilon which is part of the loyal yellow army.

RIP to the best President that our country could have had.

She has inspired a lot of youth.

And I'm sure time will come that another Miriam will show up in our country.

[malcovixeffect]

Yes and she is called De Lima hehe

[bitcoin31]

Dami nagsasabi na sayang si madam Miriam marami pa siyang matutulong sa bansang pilipinas.
Matapang , matalino at may malasakit sa bansang pilipinas si Miriam.

[SourThunder]

Ang dami nagawa ni Miriam sa aging banda pasalamat ako/tayo at may katungkulan siya sa government .
Maraming salamat miriam rest in piece .

[techgeek]

She has inspired a lot of youth.

Oh please don't compare her to De Lima.

Miriam doesn't have any bad record against her, she's so far from being the next Miriam.

[Shinpako09]

Sayang to, eto sana nanalo noon kung hindi lang dinaya ni Ramos. Kahit pa sabihing Ilokano si Tabako(ramos) masasabi kong mas proud pa ko kay Miriam na hindi ko naman ka Probinsiya kesa sa kanya.

Yeah Late senator Miriam Santiago is not worthy to be compared to a drama queen and queen of all lies which is Sen. De Lima.

I am thinking what is the Philippines today if Santiago won the presidency for sure Leni is going to take over the power and still the yellow tards are going to reign the country again.

But it is a lost for our country that she has now gone.

Malabo na manalo noong election day pa lang si Sen. Santiago.  Dahil alam ng lahat ng mga mamamayan na malala na yung sakit ni Sen. Santiago at stage 4 kanser pa.

[MoneyJ]

She was a great lost to our country. Napanood ko kagabi ang kuento ng buhay nya . Ang dami nyang legislative acts na naipasa sa senado. Napakasipag ni Ma'am Miriam at very cool kung magdeliver ng mga hugot lines.

[mundang]

Sayang di ako nakapunta nung last night nia, nakisugal at nakikape sna ako.  Wala n ung senador n walang kinatatakutan at diretso kung magsalita at higit sa lahat komedyante
