Senators Mark and Camille Villar have denied allegations that they obstructed the LRT-1 Cavite Extension (a light rail line being extended southward from Manila into Cavite province), with Camille stating she had no participation in any discussion relating to the project and Mark saying his track record speaks for itself. The country's Ombudsman, Boying Remulla, had said authorities were investigating claims that the siblings sought to redirect the rail alignment through land owned by their family's real estate business, and that their opposition in the Senate posed a threat to the project's progress. The denial comes as the Villars' company, Villar Land Holdings Corporation, already faces a separate criminal complaint over alleged market manipulation and insider trading.
