‘Intramuros property Maestranza not for sale’
In yet another attempt to illegally claim a historical government property, the Intramuros Administration strongly reiterates that the Maestranza, a parcel of land which is part of the Baluarte de Sto. Domingo inside the Spanish citadel, is not for sale.
Created by Presidential Decree 1616 in 1979, the IA is tasked to ensure the orderly restoration and development of the so-called Walled City as a monument to the Hispanic period of Philippine history. Years after it suffered destruction from the war, then President Ferdinand Marcos ordered the parcel of land to be reserved for park and other public purposes under the care of the IA through Proclamation 1925.
But in 2019, a certain Dario Coronel and his spouse Amelia, claimed ownership over the property, specifically claiming ownership to Lots 1-A and Lot 3 Block 198 to which the IA described they are presenting “dubious titles.”
