鈥淪apat na hanap buhay, trabaho o pangkabuhayan,鈥� she added, emphasizing that she would prioritize measures related to housing and entrepreneurship if elected into office.
An experienced entrepreneur and legislator, Villar said, she values the lessons taught by her parents, former Senate President Manny Villar and Senator Cynthia Villar, about 鈥渟ipag at tiyaga鈥� (deligence and perseverance).
Earlier in the day, Villar vowed to pass measures that will generate jobs for the greater majority of the Filipino people once she is elected into the Senate this May.
鈥淎ng gagawin ko pong priority ay yung pagsulong sa mga kampanyang nagbibigay ng maraming trabaho katulad ng construction at infrastructure, at pati na rin ang tourism
industry,鈥� said Villar, who joined fellow senatorial candidates in a press conference in Laoag.
鈥淏asta kung ano mang sector or ano mang industrya ang nagbibigay ng maraming trabaho, yan ang susuportahan natin,鈥� Villar added.
