At her campaign stop, Villar highlighted her family's long-standing dedication to OFW welfare.

Beyond OFW welfare, Villar outlined a vision for revitalizing rural economies through balanced investments in modernizing agriculture and expanding infrastructure.

"My vision is to contribute to a better future for all Filipinos, by addressing the multifaceted challenges they face," Villar said, believing that effective legislation and targeted programs can significantly improve lives nationwide.
During her engagement, Villar thanked Governor Helen Tan and local officials for their support, emphasizing the importance of direct community interaction. As a millennial leader, she expressed enthusiasm for bringing fresh perspectives and innovative solutions to public service, aiming for a more progressive Philippines.
Villar articulated her senatorial platform, focusing on strengthening agriculture through enhanced support for farmers, ensuring access to quality education, and recognizing the vital role of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in economic growth. Her overarching goal is to foster inclusive growth by prioritizing these key sectors.
Her dedication, she said, underscores a commitment to tangible results and sustainable development, striving for a more equitable and resilient society where OFW contributions and rural community potential are fully realized and supported.
