Former Public Works Secretary Mark Villar joined the senatorial slate of former Senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. and Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte.
“Iluluklok po natin sa Senado ‘yang si Mark Villar [We will elect Mark Villar to the Senate). I don’t need to be campaign for him a lot because you can see his work. When you travel, you can see the projects, infrastructure,” Bongbong Marcos said during a gathering in Cavite hosted by Senator Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr.
“Ramdam na ramdam sa buong Cavite at sa buong bansa, si Secretary Mark Villar [You can feel Mark Villar here in Cavite and even nationwide],” he added.
Mark Villar was a member of the PDP-Laban faction led by Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi. He will join presidential spokesperson Harry Roque and former Senator Jinggoy Estrada of Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino in Marcos-Duterte’s Senate slate.
Meanwhile, Bongbong Marcos, son of the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos Sr., and Sara Duterte, daughter of President Rodrigo Duterte, joined forces under the UniTeam coalition.
Mark Villar is the son of the richest man in the Philippines, former senator Manny Villar, and Senator Cynthia Villar.
Caravan of Marcos-Duterte tandem in QC swarmed, causing traffic
Bongbong Marcos and Sara Duterte-Carpio have already started touring Metro Manila on Wednesday, marching in Quezon City.
Earlier, supporters of the so-called “uniteam” had gathered in front of the Commission on Audit building on Commonwealth Avenue.
When Marcos and Duterte-Carpio arrived for their first caravan in Metro Manila, the eastbound lane of the Commonwealth was almost full.
The motorcade was stuck in the Commonwealth for more than 3 hours, and the traffic reached as far as Quezon Avenue.
Other supporters were waiting at the end of the motorcade at Welcome Rotonda.
It was past 1 pm when the motorcade reached Welcome Rotonda, the last stop of the caravan.
But some supporters were disappointed because the tandem did not continue there.
This large caravan was allegedly not appropriately coordinated with the Quezon City LGU.
The uniteam camp apologized to motorists, travelers, the city government, and even the MMDA.
