A video of a prominent broadcast journalist being misidentified as Senator Risa is making the rounds on social media.
In the footage, the presenter can be seen having a small talk with a female netizen.
She then questioned the girl whether she knew who she was. The girl responded, claiming to be Senator Risa.
On the other hand, Pia Hontiveros informed the lady that she was not Senator Risa.
The woman was suddenly able to recognize that she was not the senator.
She then laughed as she apologized to Pia.
Another woman approached the scene to confirm Pia’s identity instead of Risa’s.
