Terence Mordeno Grana

Voice of the Legislature, Champion of the Airwaves

A seasoned legislative expert turned passionate public educator, Terence Mordeno Grana is a retired pillar of the Philippine House of Representatives, having dedicated four decades (1978–2018) to advancing policy and procedure. As Chief of the Indexing and Monitoring Group (2011–2018), he was a compass in the complex terrain of lawmaking.

Post-retirement, his commitment to public service never waned. Now a dynamic volunteer broadcaster on AFP Radio, he helms Katropa sa Kamara, a weekly Saturday morning program that brings the inner workings of Congress straight to the people’s ears—without compensation, but with full devotion. His voice bridges the gap between legislation and the layman, unpacking committee hearings, plenary sessions, and pressing national issues with clarity and candor.

Despite no formal media training, Terence has earned his stripes behind the mic, guided by passion, purpose, and an undimmed thirst for truth. At 72, he remains intellectually agile, endlessly curious, and fiercely committed to educating the Filipino public about governance, democracy, and civic responsibility. A proud member of the KBP, and a published observer of democracy in action—from Manila to Jakarta—Terence Grana is proof that the wisdom of experience, when shared freely, is a powerful force for public good.

Catchphrase:

“From plenary to the people—walang iwanan sa impormasyon!”
