Senator Cynthia Villar affirmed that the Nacionalista Party (NP) remains a formidable political force in Las Piñas City, a legacy linked to her father, Dr. Filemon Aguilar, who served as mayor and congressman in the area.
The party’s influence is seen in the number of elected officials from NP in the city, including senators Cynthia and Mark Villar, and Deputy Speaker Camille Villar.
Manny Villar, a former House speaker and Senate president, currently leads the NP, which boasts the majority of incumbent local officials in Las Piñas.
Cynthia Villar attributed the continued support for the NP and the Villar family to their reputation for competence, strong political alliances, and deep-rooted community relations.
Recently, NP allied with the Partido Federal ng Pilipinas of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. ahead of the 2025 midterm elections.
