Villar supports candidacy of wife

NACIONALISTA Party president Senator Manuel Villar is giving his hundred percent support to the candidacy of his wife, Cynthia Villar.
“He is the campaign manager on the candidacy of mother, since he is already behind the scene. He is considered as the best campaign manager of my mother in the national level,” said Las Piñas representative Mark Villar.

Manny Villar served as Las Piñas representative in 1992, became the speaker of the House of Representatives, then a senator from 2001 until 2008 where he became the Senate President from 2006-2008.

After that, he ran for the Presidency but lost to President Benigno Aquino III during the May 2010 national elections.

Mark Villar said his family is happy on the result of the recent survey for senatorial candidate, where his mother was included in the top 12.

“Our family is very overwhelmed on the trend of her standing in the survey that she is included in the top 12 senators to be elected in the May 2013 midterm elections,” Villar added.

The representative said that although the result of the survey is positive, their family still looks for ways to improve the rating of her mother. (Leyte Samar Daily Express)
