Senator Cynthia Villar suspects that the person who took and uploaded the video that showed her confronting some security guards in a subdivision in Las Piñas had bad intentions that went viral on social media recently.
Because of this, the lawmaker said in the press conference this Wednesday that she is studying the legal steps to take regarding the video.
“They planned it but that’s okay with me. Alam mo ‘pag ikaw public official, you encounter all these problems and you must accept it. That’s the price you pay for being a public official. You have to accept all these things,” said Villar.
The incident occurred at BF Resort Village, where Cynthia Villar has a pending case filed against the association for allegedly objecting to complying with an ordinance that allows city residents to pass through subdivision roads with a “friendship sticker.”’
According to the senator, the court issued a temporary restraining order against the decision of the homeowners association.
Since then, Villar said she has been having problems with the homeowners association, the latest of which was the fencing of the composting facility she built.
Cynthia Villar explains rage in viral video
“Recently, they fenced and blocked the access to my composting facility at the river easement along the road in BFRV. That easement, I got [it] when I removed the [informal settlers] about seven years ago,” she explained.
“They don’t want me to build a sidewalk in front of the composting facility. They stopped the entry of the ready-mix bus to bring the ready mix to the sidewalk… They prohibited me from planting trees in the easement area of that composting facility,” she added.
It is said that Villar plans to file an additional complaint against the homeowners association.
“I have already consulted my lawyers and instructed them to study the appropriate cases and actions in addition to the complaint which they granted me a TRO,” he said.
Meanwhile, Villar said she wondered why a staff member she was confronting repeatedly told her not to hurt the security guard.
Last week, Cynthia Villar said she did nothing wrong when she confronted the security guards who made a roadblock.
The video reached several million views.
