Senator Loren Legarda is the only female senator who has topped the senate race twice, in 1998 with over 15 million votes and in 2007 with over 18 million votes. She is also the only woman to become majority leader.

Drawing from her vast experience as a journalist for 20 years and a decade as a public servant, Loren authored and sponsored vital pieces of legislation geared towards environmental protection, promotion of entrepreneurship, protection of the rights of women and children, overseas workers and domestic laborers, providing better health services to the public, social justice, national unity and inculcating the value of nationalism and love of country. Her dedication as a legislator brought forth the passage of many significant laws including the following: the Barangay Livelihood and Skills Training Act (RA 9509), the Magna Carta for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (RA 9501), the Anti-Violence Against Women and Children Act (RA 9262), the Philippine Ear Research Institute Act( RA 9245), the Philippine Tropical Fabric Law (RA 9242), the Anti-Child Labor Law (RA 9231), the Anti Trafficking in Persons Act (RA 9208), the Eid'l Fitr Holiday Law (RA 9177), and the Solid Waste Management Act (RA 9003), among many others.

Rights of Women and Children
With her commitment to serve the most vulnerable members of the society, Loren places special interest in protecting the rights and promoting the welfare of women, youth, and children, including those who were victims of sexual coercion during the Second World War, commonly known as "comfort women". She co-authored the Domestic Violence Act (RA 9262), Anti-Abuse of Women in Intimate Relationships Act (RA 9262), the Magna Carta for the Working Children (RA 9231) and the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act which was passed into law as RA 9208.

Among the measures co-authored by Loren which were enacted into law were: the Early Childhood Care and Development (RA 9890), Negros State College of Agriculture (RA 9141), National Apiculture Research, Trainimk8m,h bng and Development Institute (RA 9151), Leyte State University (RA 9158), and the Cebu International School (RA 9190).

A lover of the environment, Loren started her campaign for environmental protection and preservation during her stint as a broadcast journalist. Among her co-authored laws on environmental protection are: Mt. Kitanglad Range Protected Area (RA 8978), Batanes Group of Islands Protected Area (Ra 8991), and the Conservation and Protection of Wildlife Resources Act (RA 9147).

Employment & Entrepreneurship
Loren recognizes the constitutional mandate that labor is a primary social economic force and that the rights of workers must be protected and their welfare be promoted. Now in the Fourteenth Congress, as Chair of the Economic Affairs Committee, Loren sponsored the amendments to the Magna Carta for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (RA 9501) to generate employment and economic activities and essentially spur growth in the countryside.

Nationalism
Loren believes that nationalism necessarily translates to love for what we have and who we have become as a nation. It is important that this sense of nationhood be nurtured by the unity of intention and oneness of motive of our people to see our country be great again. In line with this, she co-authored the declaration of Eid´l Fitr as a national holiday (RA 9177) and likewise co-sponsored the declaration of June 30 of every year as the Philippine-Spanish Friendship Day (RA 9187).
