TAGUIG REAFFIRMS CLAIM OVER FORT BONIFACIO

THE territorial dispute between Makati and Taguig intensifies as the latter on Thursday filed a motion for reconsideration before the Court of Appeals (CA) to reaffirm its claim of ownership over Fort Bonifacio.

“Taguig’s claim has the backing of history—it precedes Makati as a political and corporate entity by decades. Taguig’s claim has the weight of official authority behind it—in statutes, in proclamations, in public documents—while Makati can only rely on private writings and proclamations that expand the original terms of that which it sought to amend,” the motion stated.
