THE tug-of-war over parcels of land inside Fort Bonifacio is not yet over after the Supreme Court issued a ruling giving the municipality of Pateros a chance to prove its claim over the territory which the court recently declared with finality as part of the jurisdiction of Taguig City.
The said barangays have been declared as part of Makati’s territory by virtue of Proclamations No. 2475 and 518 issued on January 7, 1986 and January 31, 1991 by former Presidents Ferdinand Marcos and Corazon Aquino, respectively. The Philippine Army headquarters, Navy installation, Marines’ headquarters, Consular area, Jusmag area, Heritage Park, Libingan ng mga Bayani, AFP Officers Village and the so-called six villages are situated in these areas.
For res judicata to apply in the case of Pateros, the SC said there should be identity of parties, subject matter, and causes of action. “Pateros was not a party to the case, and in fact sought to intervene but was denied by the trial court. It has not yet had an opportunity to present its own evidence to prove its allegation of a historical claim to the disputed area,” the SC declared.
