MANILA, Philippines — Vice President Sara Duterte seemingly supports Las Piñas Rep. Camille Villar’s bid for the Senate in the 2025 midterm elections, based on a cryptic post by former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque.

In a Facebook post on Sunday, Roque showed a collage of photos of Duterte with Villar and her father — former Senate President Manny Villar.

“Politics is addition after all!” Roque’s short caption reads.

The younger Villar is one of the administration-backed Alyansa Para sa Bagong Pilipinas candidates.

In a message to reporters, Duterte’s office said the Vice President will respond to queries on the matter “after Holy Week.”

INQUIRER.net messaged Rep. Villar’s office for a comment regarding Roque’s viral post but it has yet to reply as of posting time.
