PROFILE
A seasoned legislative expert and passionate public educator, Terence Mordeno Grana brings over 40 years of experience in the Philippine Legislature to the airwaves. From 1978 to 2018, he served in various technical and supervisory roles in the House of Representatives, culminating as Chief of the Indexing and Monitoring Group. Today, he continues his public service as a volunteer broadcaster on AFP Radio, hosting the informative weekly show Katropa sa Kamara, where he breaks down legislative matters for everyday Filipinos.
Driven by a mission to educate, enlighten, and empower the public—without formal training in media but with unmatched passion—he uses his platform to bridge the gap between Congress and the citizenry. At 72, he remains actively engaged in research, broadcasting, and civic discourse.
