Sick Leave or Sick Moves? Camille Villar Ghosts Alyansa Like a Classmate with No Group Project Contribution

 

 

In an unexpected twist worthy of a teleserye, House Deputy Speaker Camille Villar has once again called in sick, skipping yet another Alyansa campaign rally. But netizens were quick to note: the only thing contagious here seems to be political indecisiveness.

Sources say Villar’s staff informed the Alyansa team just minutes before the Pangasinan rally: “May sakit po siya.” Meanwhile, unconfirmed reports say her cough might be caused by excessive exposure to political tension and conflicting endorsements.

BACK-TO-BACK ABSENCES? PARANG CLASS CUT.

This isn’t Villar’s first absence. She also missed the Tacloban rally shortly after her Tito Digong got shipped off to The Hague faster than a balikbayan box. But unlike students who cut class because of breakup drama, Villar’s absence comes right after she dropped a campaign ad with Vice President Sara Duterte—yes, the same Sara whose dad just got arrested under the same admin Villar is supposedly campaigning for.

Bipolar Politics? Villar Tries to Win Both Sides Like a Sabong Bookie

Political analysts are calling this the “Have Your Sara Cake and Eat Bongbong Too” strategy. Netizens are less kind, dubbing her the “Ghost Candidate” or “Team Laban Kapitbahay sa Team Labas.” Even her survey numbers seem unsure whether to go up or down—so they’ve stayed put.

Meanwhile, Alyansa campaign manager Toby Tiangco gave a wholesome quote:
“Any endorsement is a sign of support for Bagong Pilipinas.”
Bagong Pilipinas—a place where your allies endorse your enemies and your enemies run with your friends. Very new. Very Pilipino.

IS THIS POLITICAL FLEXIBILITY, OR JUST OLIGARCH YOGA?

Critics ask: Why hasn’t Marcos booted Villar from the slate? Is it fear of Villar wealth? Or maybe, just maybe, Philippine political coalitions are about as solid as a Facebook relationship status: It’s Complicated.

 In a country where politicians jump coalitions like tricycles switching lanes, Camille Villar might just be the most agile of all—kung di man physically, emotionally flexible naman.
