In a surprising turn of events, Senate President Chiz Escudero’s order to suspend the construction of the new P23 billion Senate building in Taguig has sparked immediate interest from an unexpected buyer. 

Senator Cynthia Villar reportedly submitted a formal offer to purchase the land and the partially constructed edifice. “Why let a good property go to waste?” Villar quipped, eyeing the potential for another upscale development. “It’s perfect for my vision of a sprawling urban garden, perhaps with a few condo towers.” Insiders suggest the new venture might be dubbed “Villar Vista Senate Residences,” combining legislative history with luxury living. 

Critics were quick to decry the move, accusing Villar of turning the legislative setback into a personal real estate opportunity. Undeterred, Villar argued, “I’m simply ensuring that every peso of the taxpayer’s money is put to good use.”
