The Taguig City government is eyeing to take over from Makati City’s jurisdiction the 729-hectare Fort Bonifacio Military Reservation, including the BGC complex and several barangays, which the SC earlier declared to be part of the former’s territory.

THE Taguig City government is eyeing to take over from Makati City’s jurisdiction the 729-hectare Fort Bonifacio Military Reservation, including the Bonifacio Global City complex and several barangays, which the Supreme Court earlier declared to be part of the former’s territory.

The Taguig City government was referring to Binay’s “troubling” claim in media interviews that they received an order setting the case involving the Fort Bonifacio Military Reservation areas for a hearing or oral arguments. “Mayor Binay insinuates that the Honorable Court favorably granted ex parte, at least its prayer for oral arguments when there appears to be no such order or document, and especially because respondent City of Taguig has not even been asked to comment,” the six-page manifestation said.

“While this claim turned out to be totally false, it appeared to support the social media posts about the proposed reopening of the case,” Cayetano said, referring to the posts that claimed Mayor Binay allegedly spoke to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos, and Chief Justice Alexander Gesmundo, who “all supposedly promised to help reopen the case.

When asked how the transition can be implemented without Binay’s cooperation, Cayetano answered: “Well, it’s gonna be unfortunate if Mayor Binay will not cooperate in the transition process but we are already coordinating with other government agencies.”
