We were sitting and waiting... wala namang outburst. They are just inventing that. There&#x27;s no outburst. I was just telling them to remove the gate because it&#x27;s for public use. It&#x27;s not for me. I don&#x27;t need that,&quot; she stressed.It took Villar more than a week before breaking her silence on the April 17 incident, which took place at the city&#x27;s BF Resort Village (BFRV).She did not disclose more details on the video upon the advice of her lawyer, as a case related to the &quot;friendship sticker&quot; that allegedly caused the altercation was pending in court.<figure class="op-interactive"><iframe allow="autoplay; fullscreen" frameBorder="0" height="100%" id="ivsplayer01" scrolling="no" src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/html/iframe-src.html?iframeid=ivsplayer01&amp;key=e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603&amp;spid=3001339&amp;vid=2594736" width="100%"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more News on <a href="https://www.iwanttfc.com/#!/browse/Genres/News/tag_id_genres/id_news" target="_blank">iWantTFC</a></div>Villar claimed the viral heated argument stemmed from BFRV officials&#x27; refusal to heed a Las Piñas ordinance allowing motorists with &quot;friendship stickers&quot; to pass through the said community.Despite the issuance of friendship stickers, the BFRV homeowners&#x27; association was allegedly selling different stickers priced at P2,500 each. Villar, a BFRV homeowner since 1977, said she filed a court petition on the matter to allow people to access the village&#x27;s road as an alternative to the Alabang-Zapote Road that is often plagued by heavy traffic.The petition she filed could have earned the BFRV association&#x27;s ire, Villar said.&quot;Siguro doon sila nagalit sa akin, kasi, that will bring down the income... since then, I had encountered problems involving the BFRV Homeowners Association, Inc,&quot; the senator said.These &quot;problems,&quot; she added, included the association&#x27;s alleged refusal for Villar to put up a shelter for stray cats and dogs, as well as the fencing of the senator&#x27;s composting facility project at the river easement.&quot;They do not want me build a sidewalk in front of the composting facility. They stopped the entry of ready-mix to bring the ready mix to the sidewalks. At the same time, they park their boom truck and L3 vehicle in my sidewalk that&#x27;s why I cannot pave my sidewalk of the composting facility. And then, they prohibited me from planting trees in the easement area,&quot; she said.&quot;When a homeowner association invited me to their fiesta celebration, and they put a tarpaulin to welcome me. They removed it. And they said, it&#x27;s against the rules.&quot;But this time around, she said she decided to consult her lawyers.&quot;I don&#x27;t want people to remember me as a senator who just keeps quiet. I want to be remembered as someone who will fight for what is right and what is good for the people,&quot; she added.ABS-CBN News is still seeking the side of the homeowners&#x27; association as of writing.

Sen. Cynthia Villar said she was considering legal action against the person who filmed her berating security guards at a village in Las Piñas City.
