Local officials in Iloilo City endorsed the senatorial bid of Camille Villar during the start of the campaign for local candidates on Friday.
Speaking before a big crowd during the kick-off rally of Team Uswag at the Iloilo Freedom Grandstand, Villar thanked Mayor Jerry Treñas and local officials for the warm welcome.
Villar joined Team Uswag — led by mayoral candidate Inday Raisa Treñas and re-electionist Vice Mayor Jeffrey Ganzon — during the proclamation rally, where the local officials vowed to continue championing progress in the southern city.
“Let us support Camille Villar for senator. Together, we can create positive change. Your vote matters,” Raisa Treñas said.
For her part, Villar vowed not to disappoint, committing to further enhance efforts to provide livelihood, create jobs, and advance women empowerment, promote gender equality and improve education.
“As a legislator, I have always pushed for laws that will create jobs and help our fellowmen achieve their dreams,” Villar said.
Backed with 15-year experience in public service and the private sector, Villar hopes to bring a new perspective in dealing with current challenges as well as in the crafting of legislation.
