A video of Senator Cynthia Villar berating a security guard outside the BF Resort subdivision in Las Piñas has gone viral, drawing widespread attention on social media. The incident, which reportedly occurred last week, was captured by a concerned citizen and shared on X (formerly Twitter) by Daily Tribune, where it quickly amassed over 376,000 views.
In the video, Senator Villar is seen angrily scolding the security guard over their decision to allow motorists to enter the subdivision without the required sticker. She expressed frustration, claiming that her family owned the land and was merely “tolerating” the passage of vehicles through the area.
During her outburst, Villar stated, “Kaya walang right of way ang BF!” (“That’s why BF has no right of way!”), referring to the subdivision’s lack of official right-of-way access, which has long been a contentious issue in the area. The senator’s remarks have sparked debate among netizens, with some siding with her concerns about security and traffic management, while others criticized her confrontational approach.
This is not the first time Villar has been involved in a public confrontation. Several previous incidents have been captured on video, with the senator appearing in similar heated exchanges with individuals over issues related to property and traffic.
As the video continues to gain traction, opinions remain divided. Supporters argue that Villar, whose family has deep ties to the area, is merely standing up for her property rights. Detractors, on the other hand, have condemned her tone and behavior, saying that as a public figure, she should handle such matters with more diplomacy and professionalism.
The BF Resort subdivision, located in Las Piñas, is known for its strict rules regarding vehicle access, requiring residents and visitors to display specific stickers for entry. Villar’s family is reportedly one of the original landowners in the area, and disputes over property rights and access have been a recurring issue.
