Marcos Jr. omits Camille Villar in Alyansa endorsement speech
President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. omitted the name of Deputy Speaker Camille Villar from his campaign speech during the Alyansa Para sa Bagong Pilipinas sortie in Batangas City, a departure from his usual endorsements.
This is the first instance where Marcos Jr. has not mentioned Villar, who has consistently been endorsed by the President in previous rallies, even when she was absent.
Notably, Villar's photographs were also absent from the campaign rally's stage backdrop.
The President's decision to not name Villar coincided with his order to investigate PrimeWater Infrastructure Corp., a company owned by the Villar family, following numerous complaints about its services.
The Villar family also heads the Nacionalista Party, a key component of the Alyansa Para sa Bagong Pilipinas coalition.
