Senate Majority Leader Vicente “Tito” Sotto III also backed the motion, noting the Commission’s tradition to pass “swiftly” the nomination of a former colleague.

Villar was a member of the House of Representatives before he was appointed by President Rodrigo Duterte to head the Department of Public Works and Highways.  Zubiri said Villar is the youngest member of Duterte’s Cabinet. Villar is only 38 years old.
