During his 2013 mayoral campaign, he was involved in a nationwide controversy by producing a fake professional certificate at the main candidate debate.[3] He publicly claimed to be a lawyer, however no evidence was found of his academic records at any university.[4] In 2015, almost two years after he assumed office as mayor of Oaxaca de Juarez, the Secretary of Education released on its website that Villacaña had earned a law degree that very same year at a local college named Centro Educativo de Puebla, him being at least 50 years old by that time.[5]
