Cynthia's passion

Manila Bulletin

(Part II)

Cynthia Villar, my wife, mother to our three wonderful children, is running for the lone congressional seat of our beloved city of Las Piñas. And frankly, I cannot think of anyone who has the experience, dedication, and fervor to do the job for the people of Las Piñas.

It is that fire that some people misinterpret and which her opponents intentionally misconstrues to paint her in a bad light. But it is the same fiery devotion to the people of Las Piñas that made her an unstoppable force in its development as a city.

She is an experienced legislator having served three terms as representative of Las Piñas City from 2001 to 2010. In other words, she has done this before. She is ready to hit the ground running on day one. No on-the-job training necessary.

In the lower house, she chaired the Committee on Higher and Technical Education during the 13th and 14th Congress. She was president of the Lady Legislators during the 12th, 13th and 14th Congress initiating Legislation benefitting women, children and family.
