The 39-year-old Camille Villar described herself as the "only millennial candidate" and emphasized her commitment to contributing toward the country's progress.
"As a Filipino youth, I can contribute towards a new politics in our country," Villar said during her speech at the Manila Hotel.
Makati Mayor Abby Binay, meanwhile, said it took her several years to decide to run for a national position due to her desire for privacy.
"It's still nerve-wracking to run for a national position. I'm not sure if I'm mentally ready," Binay said.
Villar said that her values are rooted in the Filipino principles of sipag and tiyaga, which she said she learned from her parents.
“With my experience in business and public service, I believe I can offer fresh perspectives and innovative solutions to help build a brighter future for our generation and those to come,” Villar said.
If elected, she said she would be focusing on progressive job creation, support for small businesses, educational reform, housing initiatives and empowering women and youth.

FEELING RIZAL HOVER 'IN THE AIR' TONIGHT IN HEIDELBERG
HEIDELBERG, Germany—They say history is not just something we read or study; it is something we walk through. All our movements and moments become, in a sense, historic (with the magnitude of their historicity being relative, of course). History inhabits the air of cities—most especially old, grizzled ones such as Heidelberg in Germany with the hum and thrum of its cobblestones, where we recently echoed the footfalls not only of countless German figures who have shaped history but also of one Dr. Jose Rizal.
