PLATFORM

Villar has been campaigning on a platform of providing jobs to the Filipino people especially women.

When she was a member of the House of Representatives, the former lawmaker said she authored and sponsored several legislations to protect the interests of women, children and the Filipino family.

She is also pushing “livelihood projects out of waste” on a national scope if she wins in the Senate race in the May elections.
