Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas senatorial candidate Las Piñas City lone district Rep. Camille Villar and Makati City Mayor Abby Binay have gained more endorses at the local government unit (LGUs) level some three weeks before the mid-term polls.

Villar barnstormed Zambales on Monday, April 21, swinging by Castillejos, Iba, Olongapo and other key towns.

In her meeting with various sectors from the senior citizens, socio-civic groups and the youth, Villar cited the importance of cooperation between the national government and local governments in ensuring that the various needs of every province are met.

Reelectionist Zambales Governor Hermogenes Ebdane, Jr., Zambales 1st district Rep. Jay Khonghun, Mayor Jeff Khonghun and Vice Mayor Christian Esposo and local officials warmly welcomed Camille Villar during her sorties in the province.

In endorsing the congresswoman’s senatorial bid, Ebdane noted how the Villar family have consistently helped the province in various infrastructure and agriculture projects.

Ebdane advised his constituents to pick the right candidate in the Senate race--someone who’d truly look after the welfare of Filipinos.

Meanwhile, Binay earned the support of the governors and other local leaders of La Union and Pangasinan during her visit there on Sunday and Monday, respectively.

La Union Governor Raphaelle Veronica Ortega-David, together with former Governor Francisco Emmanuel Ortega III, endorsed Binay's Senate bid during a meeting held Sunday with mayors and local candidates of the Nationalist People’s Coalition (NPC) in Bauang.

In his speech, former Governor Ortega described Binay as a “very innovative and visionary leader who is genuine and unpretentious,” likening her to “a breath of fresh air".

Also present at the said meeting were La Union Vice Governor Thomas Dumpit Jr.; 1st district Provincial Board Members Geraldine Ortega and Jonathan Orros; 2nd district Provincial Board Members Henry Balbin, Georgina Estepa Flores, Dr. Albert Nidoy, and Christian Rivera.

On Monday, Binay was also endorsed by Pangasinan Governor Ramon Guico together with Vice Governor Mark Lambino and Abono Party-list Rep. Robert Raymund Estrella. They called on fellow local leaders to help her win a seat in the upper chamber during a meeting held at the Provincial Capitol in Lingayen, Pangasinan.

For his part, Estrella lauded Binay as one of the most efficient mayors in the country, and shared his observations of improvements in Makati under her leadership.

Binay expressed her gratitude to the local leaders of both provinces for their support, and vowed to advocate for legislative measures to strengthen LGUs throughout the country.

“I am deeply grateful for the wholehearted support given by the incumbent officials and local candidates of La Union and Pangasinan. Their vote of confidence in my ability to deliver on my campaign promises further fuels my resolve to be their voice in the Senate,” Binay said.
