Duterte cited the veteran lawmaker’s long years in public service and her character as a dedicated public servant.

Villar, chairperson of the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Food and Committee on Environment and Natural Resources, is seeking her second term as senator on a platform of providing sustainable livelihood opportunities to Filipinos as Misis HanepBuhay and helping farmers and fisherfolks to produce enough food at cheaper cost for Filipinos.
