Alyansa Para Sa Bagong Pilipinas stands firm: Las Piñas Representative Camille Villar remains part of the administration’s alliance for Eleksyon 2025. Yet, the group backs President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.’s call to investigate PrimeWater—a company owned by the Villar family.
PrimeWater has faced countless complaints over poor service. Toby Tiangco, Alyansa’s campaign manager, stresses that any probe must be rooted in facts. “The goal is clear: ensure providers fulfill their duties to the public,” he said.
Tiangco is clear—Camille Villar stays with Alyansa. Her public service record earns respect, and like every candidate in the alliance, she supports transparency, accountability, and the common good.
The investigation is necessary, Tiangco adds. Public concerns about water service, whether from a local utility or private players like PrimeWater, must be addressed openly and urgently. “Clean, dependable water is a basic right. Service issues demand prompt and fair review,” he insists.
From Malacañang, Press Officer Undersecretary Atty. Claire Castro echoes this resolve. The Marcos administration won’t tolerate poor services. “The needs of the people come first, always,” she affirms.
Meanwhile, PrimeWater has not responded to requests for comment as of this time.
But the story takes a twist. Vice President Sara Duterte claims Malacañang’s probe targets Camille Villar politically—especially after her endorsement as a senatorial candidate. Duterte accuses the administration of using investigations as political attacks. “They don’t act for peace or progress, only to go after those they can’t scare or buy,” she said sharply.
Malacañang has yet to answer the Vice President’s allegations but previously noted that their trust in Villar depends on her performance.
As election season heats up, this tangled web of politics and public service raises tough questions: Will the truth about PrimeWater come out? And where will this drama lead the Villar clan—and the nation—next? Only time will tell.
