Camille Villar (main photo) explains why the relief goods distributed by her dad and supporters bore Manny Villar stickers. "Gusto lang ng dad ko na makatulong because, I mean, he was on the helicopter on Sunday [September 27] and all the days after that. Hindi naman siya kailangang tandaan ng mga tao kasi yun lang naman ang meron kami, e.  My mom is a Congresswoman. My dad is a Senator, so minsan, kapag may mga fiesta-fiesta, meron talagang ganun," she says.

"Now more than ever, kasi before, kung medyo lazy pa ako about telling my dad but now, I really feel it. Kasi, kawawa naman tayo kapag nagkamali na naman tayo ng pagkapili."

Dati, isa si Sen. Villar sa strong contenders for the highest post in the country. May nabago ba simula noong nagdeklara ng intensiyon si  Sen. Noynoy Aquino?

Heto ang malumanay at mahabang sagot ni Camille, "He still have continued support and he's happy about that. And he's unfazed. It might not be an easy battle, but yung dad ko naman sanay siya na dehado siya, e. Pero hindi naman, confident naman siya. Yung supporters namin are still intact. Mahaba pa ang panahon, marami pa ang puwedeng mangyari, so, ngayon, everything that we planned and everything that we are thinking of doing is in place, so, okey naman.

"At least, talagang huwag kang ma-distract, keep your eye on the ball and he's very competent and I think he has no problems. Sanay na 'yan. Granted may ibang nagpa-panic, pero siya okey naman."

WHAT ABOUT WILLIE? Before we ended our conversation, inintriga namin siya tungkol sa pagkaka-link niya kay Willie Revillame.

Nagiti lang ang dalaga, "We're always there, e.  Our family kasi has gotten very close to Willie. I think, they have an upcoming partnership and then, minsan pinupuntahan or binibisita namin siya sa Wowowee, so, siguro, palagi nila kaming nakikita together kaya tsini-tsismis-tsismis nila. But he's a good friend with the family.

"At saka lahat naman yata ng kilala ko na kilala siya, sinasabing mabait siya and he is naman. And to be fair, until now, hindi naman niya iniwan ang daddy ko and for that, we're thankful."

Nagpaparamdam ba ang sikat na Kapamilya host sa kanya?

"Hindi naman," ang kanyang natatawang sabi.

If ever, would she fall for a guy like Willie?

Natawa na naman siya sabay sabi ng, "Basta ako, ang gusto ko kasi, hardworking at saka mabait."
