The Outstanding Women in the Nation’s Service (TOWNS) Foundation has voiced profound disappointment regarding Senator Loren Legarda's recent political choices, urging her to reflect on whether her actions honor the values for which she was recognized as a TOWNS awardee. The foundation highlighted that true distinction involves not just achievement but also moral courage and the prioritization of country over personal alliances. Legarda, who recently supported Senator Alan Peter Cayetano during a Senate leadership change, has faced backlash not only from TOWNS but also from Assumption College, which removed her portrait from its 'Wall of Empowered Women.' TOWNS emphasized that aligning with forces perceived to prioritize political protection over accountability risks eroding public trust in democratic institutions. They called for Legarda to embrace her responsibility to restore confidence in leadership and uphold constitutional fidelity, noting that history will remember those who choose integrity over comfort with power.
