Rep. Villar to grace Sapian fiesta
ROXAS CITY – Las Piñas Representative Cynthia Villar, wife of Senator Manny Villar, will grace the Tilibyugan and Religious Fiesta of Sapian, Capiz today at the coronation night at the civic center of the town.
Mayor Arturo Orosco, Sr., said that Villar, a personal friend of former Mayor Remedio "Nanay Meding" Oñas, his mother-in-law will also have a personal visit aside from crowning the fiesta queen. The fiesta is spearheaded by the mayor's wife, Dr. Evangeline Oñas Orosco.
Villar will come from Cebu via passenger airplane to Kalibo, Aklan and will travel via helicopter and land at Sapian municipal plaza at around 5:00 p.m.
According to Orosco, after landing in Sapian town, the lady solon will take a rest at the former's residence and then will crown the fiesta queen during the coronation night at around 7 p.m.
The Sapian mayor denied that there is political color on the said visit of Villar adding that the latter is their family friend in Las Piñas where their businesses are located.
Political observers insinuate that the visit of Villar will also be the "breeding ground" in Capiz for Sen. Manny Villar's presidential bid in 2010. Incidentally, Sen. Mar Roxas will also throw his hot in the presidency in 2010 elections.
This is the second time that the lady solon visited Sapian, the first one was months ago wherein several mayors and top ranking officials of the Liberal Party (LP) were present.
