MAGIC MALL OWNERSHIP TRANSFERS TO TOWN?

MALL OWNERSHIP : In case the decision of the Supreme Court become final and executory the huge multi million pesos edifice of a mall owned by the Magic Groups of Companies will be under the ownership of the local government unit in Malasiqui, Pangasinan after the high tribunal rejected in December last year the appeal of former Dagupan City Mayor Benjie S. Lim. Petitioner Mario Armas, a resident of the town, argued at the lower courts that the transaction between the town and the company that led to the construction of the mall at the municipal land was imbued with patent illegality.
