Good friends, good laughs.

Bilyonaryo Manny Villar remains good pals with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.

Villar recently joined Marcos’ trip to Japan, mainly to seal a joint venture agreement with a Japanese property development firm. The former senator owns Vista Land & Lifescapes, regarded as the largest house builder in the country.

On the sidelines of the business trip, Villar bonded with Marcos over dinner in Tokyo. The two friends are seen laughing in a photo shared on social media.

“Shared some good laughs with Pres. Bongbong Marcos at the dinner last night in Tokyo, Japan,” Villar wrote on Facebook.

Recently, Villar signed a business pact with Mitsubishi Estate Co. Ltd., senior executive officer Yutaro Yotsuzuka on February 10 during the President’s trip to Tokyo. Marcos was among those who witnessed the JVA signing.

It was Villar’s first trip abroad since the COVID-19 pandemic broke out in 2020.

“Proud to be part of Pres. Bongbong Marcos’ working visit in Japan. As part of the business delegation, I signed an agreement with our Japanese counterpart, Mitsubishi Estate Co. Ltd., among the 35 letters of intent and agreement signed during this very productive trip,” Villar said.
