CAMILLE Villar vows to focus on helping Filipinos attain their dreams to have their own homes, and improve their lives once she gets the chance to serve as senator this year.

“Ano ba ang pangarap ng Pamilyang Pilipino? Iniisip ko, ano ba ang pangarap ko sa aking mga anak? Una, ay bahay at lupa kung saan mapapalaki natin ang ating anak na ligtas,” said Villar, who is running under the Alyansa Para sa Bagong Pilipinas during the proclamation rally in Laoag on Tuesday.

“Sapat na hanapbuhay, trabaho o pangkabuhayan,” she added, emphasizing that she would prioritize measures related to housing and entrepreneurship if elected into office.

An experienced entrepreneur and legislator, Villar said, she values the lessons taught by her parents, former Senate President Manny Villar and Senator Cynthia Villar, about “sipag at tiyaga” (diligence and perseverance).

Earlier in the day, Villar vowed to pass measures that will generate jobs for the greater majority of the Filipino people once she is elected into the Senate this May.

“Ang gagawin ko pong priority ay yung pagsulong sa mga kampanyang nagbibigay ng maraming trabaho katulad ng construction at infrastructure, at pati na rin ang tourism
industry,” said Villar, who joined fellow senatorial candidates in a press conference in Laoag.

“Basta kung ano mang sector or anomang industriya ang nagbibigay ng maraming trabaho, yan ang susuportahan natin,” Villar added.

In a press conference at the Arabella Events Place, Villar said she joined the alliance in support of President Marcos’ vision for the Filipino people.

“Kaya po natin pinili na dito simulan ang kampanya ng alyansa, dahil dito po nagsimula ang ating mahal na Pangulong Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos po. We share his vision for the country, yung mga pangarap niya, hindi lamang sa mga Ilokano, kundi sa lahat ng mga Pilipino,” she added. “Yan din ang isusulong ng Alyansa at sinusuportahan namin siya.”

The Marcoses hail from Ilocos Norte. (DANNY BACOLOD)
