Miriam Defensor Santiago vs Vittorio Orlando

Santiago received the Ramon Magsaysay Award for Government Service. The award recognized her work as a judge and her efforts to reform the Philippine legal system, including her campaign against graft and corruption in the judiciary.

As a senator, Santiago authored Republic Act 7877, the Anti-Sexual Harassment Act. The law defined sexual harassment in workplaces and educational institutions and established penalties. It was a landmark piece of legislation for women's rights in the Philippines.

Santiago was elected as a judge of the International Criminal Court in The Hague. She was the first Filipino and first Asian woman to hold the position. She served until 2014, when she resigned due to health reasons.

Santiago ran for president under the People's Reform Party. She campaigned on anti-corruption and good governance but finished 6th out of 5 candidates (one withdrew). Her campaign was hampered by her battle with lung cancer.

Orlando represented Italy at the Paris Peace Conference as prime minister. He demanded the fulfillment of the Treaty of London, including Fiume and Dalmatia. President Wilson opposed these claims, leading to Orlando's walkout and eventual resignation in June 1919.

Orlando's successor signed the treaty that formally ended WWI with Austria. Italy gained Trentino, South Tyrol, and Istria, but not Fiume or Dalmatia. The perceived 'mutilated victory' fueled nationalist resentment and contributed to the rise of Fascism.
