FORMER Public Works and Highway Secretary Mark Villar has been adopted as senatorial candidate of the tandem of former Senator Ferdinand ‘Bongbong’ Marcos Jr. and his running mate, Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio.

Marcos said that Villar was one of the first bets included in their Senate slate.

“To tell you the truth, Mark Villar is one of the first in our senatorial list because siya ang una kong nakausap,” Marcos said.

He said that the UniTeam will release its senatorial slate soon.

“I fully intend to announce our senatorial line up in the next few days because medyo nabubuo na. We just have to fix the arrangement between the different parties. ‘Yun na lang, mga formalities na lang ng mga grupo,” Marcos said.

He and Duterte-Carpio held a motorcade in Cavite on Thursday. They were joined by Villar and senatorial bets former Palace spokesman Harry Roque and former Senator Jose ‘Jinggoy’ Estrada.
