Sen. Cynthia A. Villar said the “Gawad Agila 2023 Award” she obtained is an important reminder for every public servant to serve with honor, integrity, and excellence.
Villar, who has been a senator since 2013, was cited by the Fraternal Order of Eagles – Philippines Eagles as the “Most Trusted Public Servant.”
The senator, who served as congresswoman of Las Piñas City for three terms or nine years, was recognized for her accomplishments as a public servant and an advocate for uplifting the lives of people.
Through the SIPAG Foundation, the senator and her family have embarked on several advocacies to alleviate the living condition of the poor.
As chairperson of the Senate agriculture and food committee, she has also been pursuing legislation to address all the concerns of Filipino farmers who belong to the country’s poorest sector.
Villar also serves as chairperson of the Senate Committee on Environment and Natural Resources where she continues to focus on conserving and preserving a healthy environment.
The senator also cited the Fraternal Order of Eagles – Philippines Eagles for being a strong partner of the government in providing the needs of fellow Filipinos, even in the remotest areas of the country.
