An altercation over a parking space ensued between actress Kim Rodriguez and a barangay kagawad in Marikina City.
Rodriguez told GMA News that she removed her car in front of the barangay kagawad’s house knowing that her car blocked the way.
“Nakaharang po yung sasakyan ko nang mga isang dangkal po, naka-usli lang po yung pwetan ng sasakyan ko tapos inalis ko naman po kasi alam kong nakaharang,” an emotional Rodriguez said.
“Nung inalis ko, nakapasok naman po siya ta’s pagka-alis niya, pinark ko po ulit. Sabi po ni kagawad, ‘Alisin mo yung sasakyan mo, alisin mo,’” she added.
Rodriguez said that she got scared when several men surrounded their house following the incident.
“Tumawag po siya ng mga grupo ng kalalakihan tapos po nag-iikot po sa harapan namin, naglalakad-lakad po, parang tinitingnan yung bahay namin,” she said.
The barangay kagawad denied the claims of Rodriguez and the police only went there to check on the situation.
He said that the actress got offended and emotional after she was told not to use her ‘star’ status.
The issue has been settled, but barangay chairman said it was not the first time the two had an altercation.
