JERRY OLEA
Nabuo ang friendship nina Camille Villar, Mariel Rodriguez, at Shalani Soledad-Romulo nang maging co-hosts sila ni Willie Revillame sa programang Wil Time Bigtime (Oktubre 2010-Enero 2013) sa TV5.
“We’re very good friends. Until now, we see each other,” sabi ni Camille nitong Abril 27, 2024, Sabado ng hapon, sa Brittany Hotel, BGC, Taguig City.
“Mariel is the godmom of my kids, so we still see each other a lot. And yung friendship na sinimulan namin more than ten years ago is even stronger now.
“Lalung-lalo na, I mean… before we were hosting, our lives were different then. Now, we’re moms. So we have a lot of things to share.
“And I’m just very happy that we managed to remain friends, and became even closer friends as the years went by.”

Kahit abala si Mariel sa mga online business, nakakapagchikahan pa raw sila ni Camille tungkol sa motherhood, buhay-buhay, at everything Korean.
WILL CAMILLE DO VARIETY GAME SHOW AGAIN?
If ever, babalik pa ba siya sa variety game show?
Ngumiti ang 39-anyos na si Camille, “Never say never. Hindi lang talaga ako marunong umarte, or kumanta, or sumayaw. Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
“So, kaya ko tinuldukan yon dahil hindi talaga, kahit anong gawin ko… but again, with anything, never say never.”
By the way, ang panganay ni Camille na si Tristan ay 8 years old na, samantalang ang daughter niyang si Cara ay 14 months old.

Kahit kay Willie Revillame ay nanatili pa rin ang maganda nilang friendship, hindi lang sa kanya, kundi sa buong pamilya.
“Very good,” bulalas ni Camille nang kinumusta ang relasyon ni Willie sa kanilang pamilya.
“We have always… in the same manner that I have safe friends with our co-hosts, and they are some of my most cherished people in my life, pinaka… ang pinaka dun, si Willie.
“So, we have a very good relationship. He’s very close to not just me, but to the whole family. Ang lalim na ng pinagsamahan namin. So, our relationship is very good.”

“We’re very very happy about the different partnerships that we’ve began to form with ALLTV.
“Collaborations with different companies who are mostly with ABS-CBN, so we’re very happy about that partnership, and we’re very excited, and we hope na mas marami pang... that a lot of good things can come out of the partnership.
"We’re very very hopeful,” sabi pa ni Congresswoman Camille Villar.
Hindi pa napapag-usapan kung may mga bagong programa pa silang ipo-producer para sa ALLTV Pero masaya na silang mga programa ng Jeepney TV ang mapapanood sa ALLTV.
“Right now we have our partnership for the licensing partnership for Jeepney TV, and TV Patrol and some of the old programs.
“But I’m pretty sure, hopefully the partnership will extend even more in the future for other kinds of programs.
“And we’re open to it. We’re open to any kind of programming naman….
“Marami pa namang plano. Siyempre yung mga announcement natin ahhmm, that’s just the first of what’s to come and what has been established.
“But we’re hoping that we will be able to grow the partnership. And of course, we’re also open to all content providers. We’re also open to just finding the best side of programming for ALLTV.
“So, wherever we announce, I’m certain that it’s just the beginning and that there’s more to come pa.”

Maliban sa pagiging representative ng Las Piñas sa Kongreso, si Camille ang President at CEO ng AllValue Holdings Corporation, ang retail arm ng Villar Group of Companies na humahawak ng AllDay Supermarket, AllHome, at Coffee Project.
Kabahagi si Camille sa partnership launch ng Advanced Media Broadcasting System (AMBS) and ABS-CBN Corporation noong Abril 23, Martes.
The new partnership will bring up-to-date news and iconic entertainment programs to Filipino audiences via ALLTV available on Channel 2 on free TV, cable and satellite TV across the country.

“And we’re very committed naman to give our best to our partners, and we’re very commited to do everything we can to make sure that our partnership is successful.”
Sa official statement ng ABS-CBN ay sa Mayo 13, Lunes, pa raratsada ang TV Patrol at Kapamilya programs sa ALLTV.
Pahayag ni Camille, “I think it started na nga, e. And then, I think if you tune in to ALLTV now, meron na yata sila ngayon…
“Pero I think meron pang ibang mga programs na parating pa on May 13 and even beyond, so we’re very excited about it.”
Sa dami ng mga tarpaulin ni Camille hindi lang dito sa Kamaynilaan, marami ang nagtatanong — may plano ba siyang tumakbo for a higher office kaysa sa kung ano ang meron siya ngayon?
Malalaman natin iyan in a few months.
Editor's Note: Si Camille Villar ang isa sa 70 kongresista na bumoto upang ibasura ang franchise renewal application ng dating network giant na ABS-CBN noong July 10, 2020.
Nang mapaso ang prangkisa ng ABS-CBN, iginawad ng National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) sa Advanced Media Broadcasting System, Inc. (ABMS), na pagmamay-ari ng pamilya Villar, ang kontrol sa dalawang channels na dating ginagamit ng ABS-CBN—ang Channel 2 at Channel 16.
