Senator Cynthia Villar said she did not regret signing the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (Train) law, but added that she learned a lesson. On Monday, expressed confidence that signing the law, which is one of the factors being blamed for the rising inflation in the country, would not affect her candidacy as senator in the upcoming 2019 polls. According to Villar, the senators who voted in favor of the law did not predict that traders would take advantage of Train law by further increasing the prices on goods. She also blamed the rice cartels in the country for rising prices on goods. /cbbLIVE: Senator Cynthia Villar now speaking at the Certificate of Candidacy receiving area.
