Sen. Manny Villar
BFRV Field Office
Las Pinas City



Mabuhay:


This is a personal note from a tukayo and a friend in Las Pinas City, where your political career started.


Do not be negatively affected by the move of Lacson, Madrigal, Roxas, Legarda, et. al.


The Filipinos know that among the presidentiables, e.g., De Castro, Roxas, Legarda, Lacson, Fernando, you are the most qualified, in terms of business and management experience, moral character, dedication to duty and love of country.


Lacson, et. al. only succeeded in intensifying the love of the Filipinos for you, as the underdog victim of selfish power grab and blind partisanship.


Continue your firm struggle to serve our abused country. Have a clear vision of what you wish to achieve as a selfless statesman. Stick to your noble dreams. Follow your humble heart.


I am placing on record my full support for you.


Have a blessed and liberated day. Thank you.



Sincerely,


Atty. Manuel J. Laserna Jr.
