Governor Gwendolyn Garcia said the province and the city government have agreed to confine the discussion on the land swap deal to the original lots covered by the land swap ordinance that has been pending since 1993.

Lawyer Marino Martinquilla, also a legal consultant in the Capitol, said the reappraisal is needed to ensure a fair swap for both local government units.
