Court Orders Makati to Turn Over to Taguig Possession of EMBO Facilities

SHARE
The Regional Trial Court of Taguig has issued a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) directing the City Government of Makati to immediately cease obstructing the City of Taguigâs access to and possession of government-owned facilities in the EMBO barangays.
The Order, released on May 5 by Executive Judge Loralie Cruz Datahan of RTC-Taguig, enforces the Supreme Courtâs final and executory Decision in G.R. No. 235316 which confirmed that Barangays Cembo, South Cembo, Comembo, East Rembo, West Rembo, Pembo (including Rizal), Pitogo, Post Proper Northside, and Post Proper Southsideâcollectively known as the EMBOsâare within the territorial jurisdiction of Taguig.

The TRO prohibits Makati and its agents from denying Taguig entry to and use of properties and facilities located in the EMBO barangays, and from interfering with Taguigâs full and exclusive possession and operation of said public properties.
The covered facilities include health centers, covered courts, multi-purpose buildings, day care centers, parks, and other government properties reserved for public use under Proclamation Nos. 518 and 1916. Despite the Supreme Courtâs final ruling in 2022, Makati refused to let Taguig take possession of these public facilities and even shut down the health centers and day care centers and in the process deprived its former constituents in the EMBO barangays access to essential basic services.
The court found that Taguig ââ has sufficiently established extreme urgency for the present application, and that it stands to suffer grave injustice and irreparable injury without the injunctive relief prayer for.â
