Villar: Pray for success of mid-term elections

Days before the mid-term elections on May 13, Re-electionist Senator Cynthia Villar called on the public to “pause for a while and be united in prayers for fair and peaceful elections.”

Villar made this statement amid reports of election-related violence and manipulation, as she expressed confidence that the public will always let the conscience guide them as they vote for local government officials, representatives and senators.

“We put our trust in our authorities in making sure we will have orderly and peaceful elections. We should not let the very few block the will of majority of our people,” Villar said.

The Misis HanepBuhay of the Nacionalista Party also thanked the public and her supporters for including in their prayers the safety of candidates and their staff as they mounted rigorous campaign activities all over the country.

“Sa akin pong pag-iikot sa ating bansa, mas nakita ko ang mga problema ng ating mga kababayan.  Nagpapasalamat ako sa opportunity na makasama sila at mapakinggan sila. Sana ipagpatuloy po ang panalangin para ang mailagay sa pwesto ay ang mga tao na tunay na makakatulong sa mahihirap nating kababayan,” Villar said.
