Subd Comm backs land expro of lot owners

THE City Council committee on subdivision and landed estate chaired by Councilor Edgar S. Cabanlas favorably recommended the approval of the requests for land acquisition/expropriation of lot owners whose properties were affected by the city projects.

The request is to cover full payment of just compensation including registration and documentation expenses of the identified lot owners of the properties affected by the projects, specifically; the Macahambus Road at Barangay No. 16, proposed widening of Tambo-Biasong Road at Barangay Macasandig, and a property in Barangay Carmen. 

During the committee meeting, the lot owners expressed their intention to accept the appraised value presented by the City Appraisal Committee which was submitted to the committee.

With this, Councilor Cabanlas recommended the approval of the appropriation and for the city government to proceed with the necessary procedure to acquire the said properties.

“Considering that they have accepted the appraisal, and there is no objection on the part of the land owners to acquire their property for road purposes and public use, appropriation is approved,” said Cabanlas.

The requests were referred to the committee on laws and rules also chaired by Councilor Cabanlas for appropriate action.
