UP Economics professor Solita "Winnie" Monsod compared Villar's alleged corruption practices to those of deposed Pres. Estrada. Why should the people vote for Villar, who allegedly used his government seat to enlarge his wealth, just like Estrada?
In reply, Villar claimed that the accusations against him, like the alleged double insertion of funding for the C5 road project, were false.
"Ang C5 na-dismiss na ng Senado. Nalinis na ang aking pangalan. Maski piso hindi ako kumuha sa gobyerno. Lahat po ng kinita ko ngayon, galing sa sipag at tiyaga, " he said.
A viewer then asked Villar what his plans are to uphold labor rights. The realty developer answered that he wants to create more jobs for the people.
On being a hero, Villar said, "Magandang gawain. Pag naiahon natin sa kahirapan, 'yan ang isang paraan para maging bayani. Pamamahala nang maayos. Pagtigil ng korupsiyon."
The third round of Isang Tanong will be aired next Sunday, November 29, in the timeslot of SNBO.
