A group of farmers who identified themselves to belong to the Dumagat indigenous group bared that Nacionalista Party’s presidential bet Manny Villar allegedly took around 300 hectares of land in Norzagaray, Bulacan from their tribe. The indigenous group through their spokesperson Mrs. Nieves Tecson, said that Villar and his wife Cynthia used their influence to mortgage the property for Php 2Billion.
The loan was secured by Capitol Development Bank and Manila Brickworks, Inc. (both companies are identified with the Villars) from the Banko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) which later on was foreclosed. A plunder case was filed against Villar in September 2008 which up to now is still pending in the Office of the Ombudsman. Subsequently, another criminal case for other forms of swindling has been filed in San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan which also remains pending as of today.
