Meet Camille Villar: New Host Of Tv5'S 'Wiltime Bigtime'

CAMILLE VILLAR is the youngest child and only daughter of Sen. Manny Villar and former Rep. Cynthia Villar. Now a host of “Wiltime Big Time” on TV5, she was so simple when we interviewed her. No make up at all, no expensive jewelry or bags and accessories even if you know she could very well afford them. She’s also warm and friendly. You also won’t believe that she’s 27 as she looks so much younger than her age. What’s her secret?

“I don’t know. It’s must be in my genes,” she laughs. How does her parents and two older brothers, Mark and Manuel, treat her now that she’s a TV host? “The same. Wala namang dapat ipagbago.”

Does their dad talk about the ongoing impeachment trial? “We don’t ask him what’s happening in the Senate when we have dinner together as we know he has so many other things to attend to. We just focus on our family.”

Camille finished business management at the Ateneo and now heads Brittany, the division of her dad’s real estate company that develops luxury homes in Alabang, Laguna and Tagaytay. She’s so busy as it is, so co-hosting Willie Revillame’s show is a pleasant divertion for her. What about acting?

“Naku, kung itong hosting lang, pinag-aaralan ko pa, I have to be good in it muna. Nahihiya na nga ako sa mga kasamahan ko dahil madalas ako magkamali. I have no illusion na may talent akong umarte o sumayaw o kumanta. Happy naman ako sa ‘Wiltime Big Time’ kasi it gives me the chance to help people, especially the poor old folks who join the show. I feel so blessed to be given the chance na mapasaya sila.”

Is it true Willie is courting her? “Naku, three years ago pa kami natsitsismis when he helped my dad sa campaign. But it’s definitely not true, he’s just a family friend.”

We heard TV5 is also offering her to be Paolo Bediones’ co-host in the local version of “Extreme Make Over Home Edition”, which is perfect for her since she’s a real estate expert.
