THE most notorious moments of retiring and termed-out Sen. Cynthia Villar in the Senate were usually on occasions when she berates resource persons who had the misfortune of displeasing her.
One of these was when she belittled the research being conducted by government agencies, boasting of her being an intelligent person, yet she could not understand the importance of such research activities.Ironically, Villar takes pride in her authorship of the Rice Tariffication Law, or Republic Act 11203, and its component Rice Competitiveness Enhancement Fund , where revenues collected from the imposition of tariffs on imported rice are spent on things that would require scientific research.
' This was in 1987, and the framers used the phrase 'as soon as possible' to indicate the urgency of the matter. However, and thanks to Villar, it is already 2024, thirty-seven years after the ratification of the Constitution, and yet the National Land Use Act has not been passed. The House approved the bill on third and final reading in 2021, but it died in Villar's committee, that it had to be refiled in the current Congress.
