President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. notably omitted any mention or endorsement of Deputy House Speaker Camille Villar during his recent campaign sortie in Batangas.
During his speeches, Marcos typically highlights the legislative or governmental experience of his endorsed candidates.
He recounted the backgrounds of other candidates, including Congressmen Abalos and Binay, as well as Pia Cayetano and Pacquiao, emphasizing their prior service in the House of Representatives.
The omission of Villar, who holds a significant position in the House, has sparked speculation about whether it was an oversight or a deliberate political statement.
The Batangas sortie was part of the administration's Alyansa para sa Bagong PIlipinas campaign.
