Camille Villar still admin bet despite Marcos' PrimeWater probe
The Alyansa Para Sa Bagong Pilipinas maintains its support for President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.'s directive to investigate PrimeWater, even as Representative Camille Villar, whose family owns the water utility, remains on their slate for Eleksyon 2025.
Alyansa campaign manager Toby Tiangco expressed confidence in Villar's commitment to transparency and accountability, stating that public concerns regarding water service deserve to be addressed through proper channels.
President Marcos Jr. ordered the investigation into PrimeWater on April 30 following numerous complaints about its alleged poor water service nationwide.
Despite the ongoing investigation, Camille Villar will skip an administration rally, fueling speculations of a rift potentially linked to the arrest of former president Rodrigo Duterte, a Villar family ally, by the International Criminal Court on March 11.
