"For so many years, we have been political allies of the Aguilar family. As you know, Villar is married to the daughter of Dr. Filemon C. Aguilar, the long-time mayor of Las Piñas… You can say we have a good profile of the fellow. Yes, we were friends of the Aguilars even before he married Cynthia or way back in 1965. Lest it be misinterpreted, during those many years of alliance with the Aguilar family, we asked no favors, pecuniary or otherwise. We could have, but never did because we believed in the old man. To date, we still believe in Nene, the incumbent mayor of Las Piñas…(but not Villar)…Why? When he ran and won as congressman for Las Piñas, we somehow felt happy… then came his bid for the Senate. My late father and I went to see the man in his house, hoping to see in person what has become of a townmate aspiring for a national elective position. That was the time we were convinced he is in a place he ought not to be."

"It shows in his eyes. (notice is used the present tense - try it). I saw a lust for power, a hunger for ‘something more’, as if he wanted something from you.

"You enumerated in your article some real estate issues concerning Villar. In Las Piñas, such issues are taken as fact. He however (commands) respect from many simply because he’s got money. This does not include us, and many others who are not blinded by the glitter of his wealth. We have been poor since, and we’re not ashamed of it. The real question anent this matter however, is: how did he do it? The way you put it only serves to confirm the saying that, "behind all great wealth is a crime". We in Las Piñas know what we know; we just don’t talk about it."

"Going back to the eyes.....try it sometime in person." Look at the eyes and think whether he is true and sincere.
