Senator Joel Villanueva as vice president?
Senator Joel Villanueva reacted to a report that he’s being considered to possibly run as vice president in the 2022 polls.
Columnist Marichu Villanueva mentioned the senator in an article wherein it stated that he is a possible running mate of Vice President Leni Robredo in the forthcoming elections.
“This is the first time that I heard about it,” he said.
“I’m so humbled and honored dahil napapansin ba ang ginagawa natin at advocacies na ating ine-espouse sa Senado. For me, I would say to God be the glory,” he added.
According to him, he was “still trying to rally family, especially my dad” since his mother Adoracion “Sister Dory” Villanueva and his sister, Bocaue Mayor Joni Villanueva, passed away last year.
“Everyone knows what happened to my mom and my sister. My dad really needs help, I’m sure. Even my dad as a deputy speaker is already thinking of giving it up. It’s an option, I would say,” he said.
“I’ll cross the bridge when I get there…I think the more important [issue] right now is to talk about the issues besetting our country,” he added.
