Villar joins Senate session via teleconference

-


Senator Cynthia Villar has decided to participate the Senate sessions through teleconferencing to keep her safe from the threats of COVID-19.

Villar made the decision in a statement she released on May 3, one day before the Senate resumes its session today, May 4.

Her full statement:

"I will not be attending sessions physically, but I will participate in Senate proceedings through teleconferencing;

"Manny and I are staying at home to be safe. Through the help of our faithful staff, who are living with us temporarily, I have been doing my work continuously. And Manny is managing our business online. I can take the risk, but Manny cannot. He is managing a very big organization with thousands of employees and workers. The companies need him because of a predicted economic recession;

"We have experienced recessions in 1983 and 1997. Like before, Manny has to manage the business to overcome the present challenges;

"There are people like us who can opt to work from home in the new normal as we know it;

"But as I have recommended earlier, the daily wage earners, most of whom are financially challenged, and comprise 59 percent of our population should be allowed to go back to work in order not to go hungry. No amount of relief and government support will be enough to feed them;

"I hope our policymakers will realize that they should establish a protocol that workers will follow so they can go back to work ASAP. We as legislators will also find ways and means to help our countrymen as we all adapt to the new normal;

"May God Bless us all;

"SENATOR CYNTHIA VILLAR."

"Oo I am. Pero I don't even know kung alam n'ya. During the Christmas party of ABS CBN last year, I was with Tito Bayani (Agbayani). E magkapitbahay silang dalawa. And even Tito Bayani was telling me hindi na n'ya nakikita si Erpat. Lagi s'yang busy. Sinabi ni Tito Bayani, 'why don't you just text him?' "said Diego, when asked if he's reaching out to his father, during an interview on "Tonight With Boy Abunda" on ABS CBN. "Sabi ko, 'why not?' Nanghihinayang ako eh. Kung kelan ako sobrang seryoso na sa ginagawa ko sa showbiz na 'to, I wanna learn so much. I'm taking workshops with Tito Pen Medina at kung sinu-sino pa. Why not my dad? Why not my father?; "Nanghihinayang lang ako. Sa kont

"Construction in my upstairs neighbor’s condo is driving us nuts! It’s been about a year na," said Cuneta on Facebook. Her complete post: "We are sleep-deprived & the noise is stressful for me, my husband and and my children when we are home, that living in a beautiful building that has its own hotel and restaurants (and that cost more than what I sold our Wack-Wack house for!?!) still makes us all want to move out and check into a nearby hotel or transfer to a house or another condo!; "I understand how uncomfortable it is for a homeowner to have to do some construction in his own property and know he’s inconveniencing and bothering neighbors; "I am usually very understanding. It’s just that we have been told over and over for about a year already that it would take “just one more month or two na la
