She along with Arlene Brosas have been critical of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo's disputed election as Speaker of the House, accusing her of being power-hungry and a "Cheater for All Seasons".[2] She strongly opposes the Philippine Drug War, and said that the death of Kian delos Santos should be a moment of reckoning for its supporters. She also said that “Kian is the face of failure of ‘Oplan Double Barrel’”.[3]
