The House of Representatives has appointed lawyer Priscilla Marie Abante, the daughter of outgoing Manila Rep. Bienvenido Abante, as the spokesperson for the 19th Congress which ends on June 13.

During her first meeting with the House media, Abante said she was tapped by the House leadership and its communications team to “help deliver accurate, transparent, and truthful information for the House of Representatives.”

“We really don’t want fake news so it’s important that we are able to communicate the policies being formulated in Congress right now,” she added.
