Business establishments in Bonifacio Global City that used to deal with Makati will now have to transact business with Taguig City after the Supreme Court ruled with finality that the 729-hectare Fort Bonifacio Military Reservation and some former Makati barangays are under the territorial jurisdiction of Taguig City.
In ruling against Makati City’s Omnibus Motion with the en banc, the High Court said that the basic issues raised have already been duly considered and passed upon in the assailed decision of the Court in 2021, which had earlier ruled that Taguig presented documentary evidence that proved their ownership of the disputed Fort Bonifacio Military Reservation.
It took a while for the territorial dispute between Taguig and Makati to be resolved. The case lasted for three decades. The case was first heard in the Regional Trial Court and then before the Court of Appeals until it reached the Supreme Court, which has decided and recognized that Taguig City is the rightful local government unit that has jurisdiction over the territory in question.
And now that the legal battle is over, the residents who are in the middle of the two conflicting LGUs are hoping that their situation will soon be fixed to ensure continuous public service. What is needed is a third party to supervise the smooth transition. For the business establishments, the transfer is deemed easy but for the residents who have been boxed in, the procedure may prove chaotic.
