She was bashed for her “degrading” statement about nurses and the public fired back at her when she wanted to ban “unli rice” in restaurants. Just recently, the name of the lawmaker became one of the trending topic on Twitter because of another controversial statement that she did.

Talking about the farmers in the Philippines, Cynthia Villar said that they are not as competitive as those farmers in neighboring Asian countries, based on the report from CNN Philippines.

“Yung mga rice farmers natin hindi sila competitive relative sa mga rice farmers of Vietnam and Thailand,” the Senator said. Netizens criticized her for this. This statement came after this sentence: “One of the biggest problem natin ngayon is there are not enough people buying rice from our farmers.”

A netizen corrected her statement and defended the Pinoy farmers.

Another netizen challenged her to be a farmer for a year.
