Breastfeeding is the best start . In the first part, moms talk about the support, the love and dedication that their husbands gave them when they were breastfeeding. In the second half, we discuss the importance of being breast feeding advocates. The breastfeeding advocacy includes protection, promotion, and support.

Here are some of Risa's legislative agenda:

RH Law Implementation. Being a champion of the Reproductive Health Law, she will guarantee that the programs enstablished under the law will have enough resourcess to fulfill its promise of ending maternal deaths, preventing unwanted pregnancies, and helping Filipino families plan their future.

Universal Healthcare Expansion. Hontiveros plans to expand the gains of the Aquino administration in making healthcare universal and more accessible. On top of this, she hopes to address all elements of universal health care:

Women’s rights. She hopes to push for the greater political participation of women in appointive and elective position and will increase protection for young women in the areas of education, employment and healthcare. She will also champion the passage of a bill that protects lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transgenders from discriminatory practices and abusive behavior.

On anti-corruption. She will pursue the anti-corruption agenda of the Aquino administration, and will remain consistent in her advocacy to make the abusive public officials accountable, especially those who were complicit to the abuses and excesses of the GMA administration.
