ON July 30, 2022, I wrote about the brewing clash between Sen. Cynthia Villar and the new board of directors of the BF Resort Village Homeowners Association Inc. (BFRVHAI) in Las Piñas City. An election of board officers had been held on June 12, 2022, which resulted in the ouster of the Villar-backed directors.

The controversy centered on a short-span bridge (named Cavite Bridge), which was constructed by Senator Villar over a portion of the Zapote River, linking the end of Onelia Jose Street in the private subdivision to the Villar Sipag Farm in Bacoor, Cavite. Thus, a BFRV gate was opened to accommodate those passing from Las Piñas City going to Bacoor, Cavite and vice versa. The old board of directors tolerated this in exchange for the P10 million annual donation from Senator Villar. However, most of the BFRV homeowners resented this, citing "security" as their main concern. The new board, as part of their campaign promise, restricted access to the Cavite Bridge.
