Deputy Speaker Camille Villar is pushing for the modernization of agri-business and the creation of more rural jobs, aiming to transform farming into a profitable, high-tech, and sustainable industry for Filipino farmers.
“Agriculture is the backbone of our economy, yet many farmers still struggle with low income and outdated practices. We must modernize agri-business, invest in technology, and create more jobs in rural areas to uplift farming communities,” said Villar, a senatorial aspirant under the Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas of President Ferdinand Marcos, during their campaign sorties in Negros Occidental on Friday.
Villar, daughter of former Senate President Manny Villar and incumbent Senator Cynthia Villar, said infrastructure and tourism are the two major projects that she wants to focus on, if she is given the chance to serve the Filipino people in the Senate this coming polls.
Villar also vowed to push for her advocacy on job generation and work that would uplift the lives of Filipinos.
She emphasized that rural job creation is key to reducing poverty and decongesting cities, ensuring that families can thrive in their own communities.
“By investing in modern farming, digital agriculture, and rural industries, we can empower farmers, boost the economy, and make agriculture a thriving industry,” Villar said.*
