Manuel Villar for Presidential Candidate

Manuel Villar, a self-made billionaire, has stated that he wants to become the next president of the Philippines. In my opinion he is an excellent candidate because he has a storied business and political background. His family owns a real estate firm worth over a million dollars (48 billion pesos), and he has demonstrated through both business and political careers that he has the ability to lead.
Villar learned his work ethic at a young age, helping his mom sell seafood in order to pay for his schooling. He attended the University of the Philippines and received a master’s in business administration and accountancy. He has owned several businesses, including seafood delivery, sand and gravel business, and he revolutionized real-estate in the Philippines by selling lot and house packages when it was much more common to buy a lot and build on it.
Villar has headed both the Senate and the House of Representatives in his 17-year political career. He has participated on the House’s economic team and is an environmentalist, who has privately funded tree drives throughout his district, as well as solves community issues and improve buildings in major cities.
All of these characteristics would make Villar an excellent candidate for presidency, and with his seemingly infinite supply of money and renowned recognition in the government, he seems to be an early favorite for the May elections.
