Senatorial aspirant Las Piñas City lone district Rep. Camille Villar wooed youth voters by ensuring them that being among the younger poll candidates does not mean that she doesn't have much to show in terms of public service.

Backed by 15 years of combined experience in the public and private sectors, Villar expressed belief she can do more once elected into the Senate. 

“May nagawa na, marami pa ang magagawa (I have accomplished some, and will accomplish more)," said Villar, a deputy speaker in the House of Representatives. 

The daughter of formed Senate President Manny Villar, the congresswoman has always introduced herself during campaign sorties and rallies as a "millennial" in a bid to have younger voters identify with her.

Villar, 40, added she respects the wisdom of the veteran lawmakers but she also thinks she can bring in new ideas from the perspective of the younger generation.

The youth sector comprises about 70 percent of the country’s around 115 million population, statistics from the World Health Organization (WHO) showed.

Villar, a two-term congresswoman, is a member of the administration-backed Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas senatorial ticket.

If elected as senator this mid-term polls, Villar vowed to exercise the Senate’s oversight functions on the implementation of laws that cover agriculture, and those that addresses corruption, among others.
