According to the Eye-Spy, the housewife was driving towards the entrance to the village when she happened to be in the wrong lane. A man driving a Starex van with plate number AVY 333 who was apparently an Alabang resident cut her off and instinctively, she "honked" her horn. The man waited for the housewife to get into the village and had the guards stop her, detaining her in her car for close to an hour.
