Villar injured

MANILA, Philippines – Senate President Manuel Villar Jr. suffered a cut on the right eyebrow yesterday afternoon after he had an accidental head butt while he was about to deliver a speech during a doctors’ convention at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) in Pasay City.

Villar sustained a wound in the eyebrow while he was on his way to the stage to deliver his inspirational speech before members of the Philippine Medical Association (PMA).

“He bumped into someone on the head while he was inside the plenary hall while on his way to the stage. The path which he and the officer of the Philippine Medical Association went through was dark,” said Cesar Tomambo, the senator’s photographer. – Christina Mendez
