Senator Cynthia Villar recently spoke out to defend her son against fierce criticism from the online community. However, instead of calming public opinion, her statement made the wave of protests even stronger. Netizens quickly shouted in unison: **”No to Another Villar! No to Camella!”**, expressing their dissatisfaction.
In the face of fierce attacks from netizens, Senator Cynthia Villar could not remain silent. She affirmed that her son did not deserve to be treated like that and spoke out to defend him against accusations from public opinion. However, immediately after her statement, the wave of protests on social networks continued to flare up more strongly.
Some netizens left harsh comments:
We do not want another Villar in power!”*
“We have suffered enough, we cannot let this continue!”*
“No to Camella! No to another Villar!”*
The outrage of netizens stems from many issues related to the Villar family, especially the controversy over their land policies and real estate projects. Camella Homes, one of the family’s major companies, has been embroiled in many controversies over land planning and management.
The fact that another member of the Villar family is protected so that he can continue his political career has raised concerns about his potential for future power manipulation.
With the anger rising, the question is whether these protests can affect the political position of the Villar family. Some experts believe that the strong opposition of netizens can influence decisions in upcoming elections.
However, the Villar family is known for its great influence in Philippine politics and economy. Whether they will be affected or not is still a big question mark.
What do you think about the development Cynthia Villar’s words? Will the online reaction be strong enough to change the situation?
Cynthia Villar on Camille’s senatorial bid: Just give her a chance
Just give her a chance.
This was Sen. Cynthia Villar’s appeal to voters for her daughter, Camille, who is now seeking a Senate seat in the May 2025 elections.
The senator, on the other hand, is seeking to replace her daughter in the House of Representatives.
If Camille wins, she will be joining her brother, Mark Villar, in the Senate.
The matriarch sees nothing wrong with a political dynasty working hard and serving the people well.
“If they want that career, you have to give them the chance,” she said at the weekly Kapihan sa Manila Bay on Wednesday, referring to her two children.
“I truly believe that I raised them well. They can do their job well. What’s wrong with somebody doing their job well? ” she added.
Cynthia Villar was asked in the forum about Camille’s senatorial run and the issue of the political dynasty being raised against her family.
“I think my daughter will be able to do a good job there. Just give her a chance,” the matriarch continued.
In particular, the senator believes Camille can help in the agriculture sector, particularly in encouraging the young farmers to have a fully mechanized farm.
The matriarch is currently heading the Senate committee on agriculture, food and agrarian reform.
Talking further about political dynasty, she said it is better to have a good dynasty that is honest and working hard than a politician who has no dynasty but is not serving the people
