DAGUPAN CITY - This city former mayor and a lawyer of the land
donors assured the public that the 7,000 square meters given to the local
government unit (LGU) here is free of future encumbrance from the bank.
Ex –mayor Belen T. Fernandez said
despite the credit line of the heirs of Manuel and Maria Eleanor Pablico at the Land Bank of the
Philippines (LBP) they will not allow the 7000 Sq. m they donated to the city
prejudiced.
“The P8 million or P9 milion versus the P50 million at nanininwala ako
kasi may usapan naman na sila ang mag sesegrate noong lupa. Hindi naman tayo
iyon sila iyan. At naniniwala ako na gagawin nila iyon,” she told reporters
recently in a cable television program.
In year 2017, Pablico spouses heirs’ Ma.
Eleanor, Archirald, Allan, Arnold, and Artemio, residents of 797 Edsa Diliman,
Quezon City, donated the lot at Barangay Pugaro here and was accepted by
Fernandez after it was endorsed to her by a resolution passed by the majority
members of the Sangguniang Panlungsod (SP) (City Council).

Fernandez proudly showed the Deed of Donation of 7,000 square meters of real property given by the heirs of Pablico spouses through their lawyer Frank Angeles (center) for the city government and the six illegal settlers in the island Barangay Pugaro of the city. |
“Whereas, that the said donors, as an act of
liberality on their part, by these presents, hereby cede, transfer, and convey
by way of donation unto the said donee, Lot Nos. 1-C, 1-E, and 1-F as above described
consisting of a total area of 7,000 square meters, together with all the
buildings and improvements existing thereon, free and clear of all liens and
encumbrances…,” the donors declared
on their Deed of Donation.
The former mayor said a landowner
in Barangay Pugaro told her the current market value of a one sq. m there was more
than P1,000.
“Ang lupa sa Pugaro ay nag va-value ng more than P1,000. So five
hectares ang kanilang lupa. Makukuenta mo sa P1,000 that’s about P50 million
hindi po pababayaan ng Pablico family na assuming lang na meron silang P8
million or P9million, meron silang credit line hindi po nila pababayaan iyon”.
Pablicos’ lawyer Frank Angeles
told recently the SP that as early as 2014, the heirs of the donor spouses informed the Land Bank of Philippines that a portion of the 50,000 sq. m had not been mortgaged to the bank.
“As early as 2014 there was already an agreement to
the location. Pangalawa, noong pumunta iyong pamilya ng Pablico sa Land Bank
sinabi ho nila itong fact na sinabi nila na naka donate na iyong 7,000 sq. m sa
siyudad ng Dagupan. Ang demarcation ay sa 40,000 square meters”.
He said however the agreement was
not supported by a document.
Angeles informed the members of
the city council that the LBP required the heirs to process an official
document from the Land Registration Administration and furnish the stakeholders that the donated land is
already officially segregated for this city’s LGU.
Angeles said the LRA promised to
release it on January 8, 2020.
“Iyong 7,000 sq. m para sa siyudad was already
segregated and submitted sa LRA. So, they are just waiting. Iyong papers nito
will come out sa January 8. All of these in good faith ho ni negotiate”.
AUTHOR'S TV OPINION ON THE DONATION'S BROUHAHA
After 450 sq. m of this donated
real property was given to the six illegal settlers there as agreed on
Pre-Demolition Conference held on January 17, 2014 attended by Fernandez and
the officials of the Presidential Commission for the Urban Poor, the LGU got 6,550 sq. m.
In early November this year, Councilor
Jose Netu Tamayo drafted a resolution requesting the city engineering office
through the office of the city mayor, to suspend any introduction of
improvement on the lot donated by the Pablicos.
Critics assailed Fernandez for
negligence in not knowing that the donated property was encumbered.
A property with lien means the
bank can get or demolish the multi-million pesos’ day care center.evacuation center, and other improvements made by the LGU if the land will be subject to foreclosure,
as provided on the Civil Code of the Philippines.
This notwithstanding a criminal suit of Anti-Graft & Corrupt Practices Act at the Ombudsman for undue injury to the government and gross inexcusable
negligence.
Fernendez disagreed on the
accusation.
“Nakakahiya baka akala nila ang Dagupan ay puro fake news na lang. Hindi
na tayo Child Friendly (national awardee this year), Most Competitive City
(Awardee) most fake news city (na)”.
The donation created a hullabaloo recently after one of the six illegal settlers of the land told the administration of this city’s mayor Lim that the real property where the 7,000 Sq. m was donated to the LGU here was mortgaged to a bank in 2016.
The Register of Deeds here furnished this writer data on the P8.338 million encumbrances by the bank to the Pablicos as seen on the Transfer Certificate of Title of their land.
