the handloom weaving center to check on the sustainability of the

Aetas, who were beneficiaries of her livelihood projects.
Villar has been going around the country to share her livelihood projects. For being consistently entered the “winning circle” of senators preferred by voters in the coming May elections based on various election surveys, has obtained recognition from the United Nation for her livelihood projects from wastes. In running for senator, the three-term congresswoman, said she wants to bring her projects nationwide. “Mas malawak ang maaabot ng aking mga proyekto kung ako’y magiging senador,” assured Villar.
