Villar makes Sara’s Senate list
Vice President Sara Duterte has completed her list of senatorial candidates by endorsing Representative Camille Villar, alongside Senator Imee Marcos and ten official nominees from PDP Laban.
The twelve candidates Duterte supports share a common vision for a peaceful and prosperous Philippines, aiming to overcome political divisions.
The endorsement of Villar, along with Marcos, is seen as a further blow to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s senatorial slate, Alyansa Para sa Bagong Pilipino, highlighting rifts within the administration coalition.
Senator Marcos had previously left President Marcos Jr.'s slate due to disagreements with the administration's actions concerning her father, former President Rodrigo Duterte.
Former President Duterte is currently detained in The Hague for charges of crimes against humanity related to his war on drugs.
Despite individual endorsements, the Marcos administration's senatorial ticket is reportedly intact.
