Villar added that NP's popularity in the place was a legacy that traces back to her father, Dr. Filemon Aguilar, who held the positions of mayor (1964–1986) and congressman (1987–1992) in the Las Piñas-Muntinlupa area. NP's influence was evident in the number of elected Las Piñas officials from its ranks. Cynthia Villar and Mark Villar are incumbent senators, while Deputy Speaker Camille Villar is

On the alleged removal of coverage of indirect contributors

THE Philippine Health Insurance Corp.
