MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – She is known to be an avid supporter of LGBT rights and the leading advocate for the passage of a SOGIE bill, but it took a magazine cover for Senator Risa Hontiveros to finally “come out.”

Hontiveros was one of the recipients of Esquire Philippines’ magazine as “Man at His Best” recognition, specifically as “Maverick of the Year.”

No reaction from the lady (or man) senator as of press time.
