Distance is not really a problem. Miss Aileen May Abrena, Miss Villasis 2008 came all the way from the United States, not only to spend the christmas holiday in Villasis but to personally grace and cut the ceremonial ribbon of the newly roofed Villasis Public Auditorium last December 22, 2008. The funding of the aforementioned project came from the proceeds of Villasis Town Fiesta 2008 where she reigned as Queen. This occasion was witnessed by the Municipal Officials and employees of the Local Government Unit.

                   On the same day at 2:00 o'clock in the afternoon, she distributed assorted gifts to two hundred (200) indigent children from the various barangays of the town. She was assisted by her mom Elaine, her grandma Caridad, her uncle Edgar and other relatives. This gift giving, Pamaskong Handog ng Abrena Family, para sa mga batang kapuspalad was witnessed by Mayor Nato S. Abrenica and his better half, Madam Dita, Mrs. Lilibeth VM Abrenica and Mrs. Haidee R. Suyat, the Municipal Social Welfare and Develoment Officer and Social Welfare Officer, respectively.

         Long live Aileen May, Miss Villasis 2008. Your great help to the municipality will be instilled in the heart of every Villasinians. Indeed, Villasis is very lucky to have citizens here and abroad who are very generous and mindful of the welfare of their underpriviledge townmates.
