A part of the Mile Long development that sits on government property.

The auction of the Mile Long property can be done quickly, as it is owned by the National Power Corp. In 1980 and 1983, it leased the land, on orders of First Lady Imelda Marcos, to the Technology Resource Center Foundation, which she set up and controlled. The “foundation” then leased the land to the Rufino/Prieto clan’s firm Sunvar, at a scandalously low rental.. The lease expired in 2002, although the Rufino/Prietos continued to control the property as if nothing happened and refused to vacate it, managing to file several cases in the courts that had the impact of putting the issue in limbo.
