MANILA – The Villar family brought smiles and joy to hundreds of children from the Baseco compound in Port Area, Manila, during a heartfelt Christmas party hosted on December 21, 2025. Led by Senator Cynthia Villar, former Senate President Manny Villar, and their children—Las Piñas Rep. Camille Villar and Public Works Secretary Mark Villar—the event transformed the community’s basketball court into a wonderland of games, food, and gifts, giving the kids a memorable holiday experience.
The celebration featured classic party staples: parlor games, magic shows, mascot dances, and a visit from Santa Claus distributing toys, school supplies, and grocery packs. A sumptuous feast of Filipino favorites—spaghetti, fried chicken, ice cream, and more—kept everyone energized. Senator Villar emphasized the family’s long-standing commitment to Baseco, a coastal community they’ve supported through livelihood programs, education aid, and disaster relief for years.
“This is our way of sharing blessings with our kababayan in Baseco, especially the children who deserve to feel the magic of Christmas,” Cynthia Villar said. The Villars have championed Baseco’s development, including housing upgrades and mangrove planting for environmental protection.
For the young attendees—from toddlers to teens—the day was pure delight: Laughter echoed as they played, posed for photos with the Villar family, and clutched new toys. Parents expressed gratitude for the gesture amid economic challenges, noting it lifted spirits in a community often overlooked.
In a season of giving, the Villar family’s Baseco party isn’t just an event—it’s enduring care, reminding us that true holiday cheer starts with reaching out to those who need it most.
