==Early life==
Manuel "Manny" Bamba Villar Jr. was born on December 13, 1949 in Moriones, [[Tondo, Manila|Tondo]] [[Manila]]. His father, Manuel Montalban Villar, Sr., a government employee, hailed from [[Cabatuan, Iloilo|Cabatuan]], [[Iloilo]] and his mother Curita Bamba, a seafood dealer, came from [[Pampanga]] and [[Bataan]]. The second of nine children, Villar attended [[Holy Child Catholic School]] and started selling seafood at the [[Divisoria]] Market at an early age.{{Fact|date=June 2009}}
While Manny Villar was a working student, he was also putting in long hours as a fish and shrimp trader: working where the action starts during the wee hours of the morning when the freshly caught seafood arrives at market grounds.{{Fact|date=June 2009}} As a working student, he was able to put himself through school by finishing his studies at the [[University of the Philippines]] where he earned his Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degrees in [[Business Administration]].
After graduation, he tried his hand as an accountant at the country’s biggest accounting firm, Sycip, Gorres, Velayo & Co. ([[SGV & Co.]]). He resigned shortly though to venture on his own seafood delivery business.<ref name=about>{{cite web |title=Manny Villar |url=http://www.mannyvillar.com.ph/theman.php |publisher=Official website of Manny Villar |accessdate=8 August 2009}}</ref>
When a restaurant he was delivering stocks to did not pay him, he printed out “meal tickets” which he persuaded the restaurant owners to honor. He then sold these tickets at a discounted price to office workers. It took him one year to liquidate his receivables.<ref name=about/>
He worked briefly as a financial analyst at the Private Development Corporation of the Philippines. His job was to sell World Bank loans; despite their attractive rates there were no takers. Convinced that he could make it on his own again, he quit his job and promptly availed of one of the loans.<ref name=about/>
==Business==
In 1975, with an initial capital of P10,000, Villar purchased two reconditioned trucks and started his sand-and-gravel business in [[Las Piñas]].<ref name=about/>
He then went on to establish one of the largest development firms in the Southeast Asian region, the Camella & Palmera Homes{{fact|date=June 2009}}. Originally low-end developers, the company has recently started selling more high end homes under the Crown Asia brand name, although criticism have been voiced in the press of many such developments in Cebu, Cagayan de Oro and Davao <ref>[http://www.sunstar.com.ph/enwiki/static/dav/2003/03/03/news/davao.homeowners.call.villar.arrogant.html Sun.Star Davao - Davao homeowners call Villar arrogant]</ref><ref>[http://www.thefreeman.com/local/story-20040922-22530.html The Freeman - Local News]</ref><ref>[http://www.sunstar.com.ph/enwiki/static/cag/2005/05/26/news/homeowners.vow.raps.crown.asia.to.build.water.pump.html Sun.Star Cagayan de Oro - Homeowners vow raps, Crown Asia to build water pump]</ref>
He earned citations such as the [[Ten Outstanding Young Men]] in [[1986]], the Agora Award for Marketing Management in [[1989]], Most Outstanding [[Certified Public Accountant|CPA]] by the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in 1990, and Most Outstanding Alumnus in [[1991]].

==Senate==
Villar was elected to the Senate in 2001. At the start of legislative sessions, he was chosen as [[Senate President Pro Tempore]], a position he held until 2003.
In February 2004, he was elected as President of the [[Nacionalista Party]], the country’s oldest political party. He was also named the Most Distinguished UP Alumnus—the highest recognition given by the UP Alumni Association—for his exemplary public service and achievements.<ref>[http://www.upd.edu.ph/~updinfo/archives/AprJun2004/articles/ALUMNI-distinguished.htm UPAA cites Manny Villar, Dolly Hernandez as this year’s most distinguished alumni]</ref>
After the 2004 elections, he initially planned to run for the Senate presidency but agreed to let the incumbent, Franklin Drilon, finish his turn as Senate President until June 2006. Honoring the said agreement, his fellow senators unanimously elected him as Senate President on [[July 24]], [[2006]].
Villar won reelection to the Senate in 2007. At the start of legislative sessions he was chosen [[President of the Senate of the Philippines|Senate President]], defeating [[Aquilino Pimentel]] by a vote of 15–7.<ref>[http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingnews/nation/view_article.php?article_id=78210 Inquirer.net, Villar elected Senate President]</ref> However, in November 2008, he resigned the position due to a lack of support in the Senate.

Senator Lacson said that the controversy C-5 highway project triggered the move for a change in the Senate leadership. In 2008, Lacson exposed the redundant insertion of the C-5 Road project proposed by the then Senate president Manuel “Manny” Villar in the 2009 national budget. The said insertion allegedly amounted to 400 million pesos and benefited Villar’s real estate business.
==2010 presidential campaign==
Villar Jr., on [[June 6]], 2008, announced that he is 99% joining the [[Philippine general election, 2010]] (one percent, is on the possibility of no election), amid his nomination of the [[Nacionalista Party]] (NP), chaired by him.
