MANILA, Philippines—Two months after she had announced that she had cancer, Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago returned to the Senate on Wednesday to attend the hearing of the powerful Commission on Appointments.

Santiago is co-chairperson of the CA’s commission on foreign affairs committee that will deliberate on the confirmation hearing of career ambassadors and Foreign Service officers.
