In a letter to the community, DVA president Jay Pantangco, said, “[The security guards] have been given both commendations and gifts from residents, who have shown their support for the guards’ performance in upholding and implementing Dasmariñas Village policies.”
The village guards had barred Binay’s convoy from the going through the Banyan Road gate last Nov 30 because the subdivision’s rules indicate that no vehicles will be allowed to exit through the said gate past 10pm. The alternative exit point for the vehicles exiting the village is another gate 200 meters away.
Binay and his group wanted the guards to waive the rule for them. The guards refused to do so. As such, tension ensued and the guards even ended up being “invited” to the police station.
As Pantangco pointed out, “The DVA stands by the actions of our security guards, who in performing their duty, upheld DVA’s existing policy and procedure during the incident.”
It is not clear, however, if this effort was unanimously approved by DVA residents, which include the sister of Makati’s embattled mayor.
