Taguig City asserts jurisdiction over Enlisted Men's Barrios of Fort Bonifacio even without writ of execution
In a statement released on Thursday, August 17, Taguig argued that the High Court’s decision was “clear and unambiguous: Parcels 3 & 4 of Psu 2301 belong to Taguig.”
It further noted that the preliminary injunction issued by the Regional Trial Court of Pasig, stopping Makati from exercising jurisdiction over, making improvements on, or treating as part of its territory, is permanent.Following this, Makati was involuntarily stripped of its authority over the area, Taguig said. In contrast, Taguig was mandated by the decision to promptly assume control over its territory.
Taguig’s statement came after Office of Court Administrator Raul Villanueva through a letter released by Makati City said that aTaguig dismissed the OCA’s opinion as “non-binding,” casting doubt on its legal jurisdiction. “While the OCA is mandated to act on matters of public assistance and information requests, its authority does not extend to matters that involve administrative or judicial adjudications,” Taguig said.
Taguig said the OCA’s statement “encourages delay and even defiance, instead of respect and immediate voluntary compliance.”. He said they could not facilitate the turnover of contested territories without the writ.
