Villar warns public against text scams

Senator Cynthia Villar warned the public against text messages and social media posts that supposedly use her name and her family’s foundation for scams. Villar, director of Villar Social Institute for Poverty Alleviation or Villar SIPAG, urged the public not to fall for misleading messages and posts that uses the foundation to swindle people. She cited a certain Facebook page named “Villar Foundation Libreng Pabahay 2018” which invited social media users to like and share its page to qualify for a supposed raffle of house on Dec. 31, 2017. The original post, however, has been taken down. (Vanne Elaine P. Terrazola)
