The legal battle of Pateros for these areas is nothing new, as it has been staking its claim for three decades
MANILA, Philippines – A new twist emerged in the simmering land dispute between the cities of Taguig and Makati as the neighboring town of Pateros came forward to reassert its ownership claim over the Fort Bonifacio and Enlisted Men’s Barrios .
In 2012, Pateros filed a civil case before the Taguig Regional Trial Court seeking to reclaim the 461.56-hectare Fort Bonifacio area from the jurisdiction of Taguig and 304.45 hectares of land from Makati, thePateros asserted that it has held control over these areas since it gained status as an independent town in 1801. During that period, Fort Bonifacio and the seven barangays were collectively referred to as Barrio Mamancat, which was one of Pateros’ five barrios.
Last April 19, the Supreme Court granted the petition of Pateros for review and ordered the Pasig Regional Trial Court Branch 271 to reinstate Civil Case No. 73387-TG.
