FOLLOWING the principle that “the accessory follows the principal,” the Department of Justice (DOJ) held that the Taguig City government should have the authority and jurisdiction over buildings and structures within the so-called Embo (enlisted men’s barrio) barangays.
FOLLOWING the principle that “the accessory follows the principal,” the Department of Justice held that the Taguig City government should have the authority and jurisdiction over buildings and structures within the so-called Embo barangays.
Herbosa’s request for legal opinion stemmed from the conflicting claims of Makati City and Taguig City on the execution of the said SC decision. Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla, however, begged off from rendering a legal opinion in the issue presented by the DOH, noting that a writ of execution has yet to be issued implementing the SC decision.
In the same decision, Remulla said the SC pointed to its decision in the case of Mariano, Jr., v. Commission on Elections, where it declared: “The importance of drawing with precise strokes the territorial boundaries of a local unit of government cannot be overemphasized. The boundaries must be clear for they define the limits of territorial jurisdiction of a local government unit.
