Camille is vying for a senatorial seat in the 2025 midterm elections, in a bid to join her elder brother, Mark Villar, in the upper chamber.
Instead of running for mayor, the Villar matriarch said she wants to be a congresswoman again to continue her advocacies in agriculture and the environment.
"I pity the farmers If I will leave them," she said.
Villar served as representative of Las Piñas for three terms, from 2001 to 2010.
She won as senator in 2013 and was reelected in 2019.
"We are not a dynasty. We are a family. But it has been done by my father since 1963. He passed on to us our beloved Las Piñas," Villar said.
"We just inherited his love for the people of Las Piñas."
