Makati-Taguig dispute: No need for writ of execution

The Court of Appeals (CA) has ruled that a writ of execution is not needed to enforce a Supreme Court (SC) decision, which declared that the 10 enlisted men's barrios or "embo" barangays are under Taguig's jurisdiction and not Makati.

In a ruling promulgated on May 28, the CA's Third Division denied Makati's petition for certiorari, which sought to nullify the Taguig City Regional Trial Court (RTC)'s decision that there was no need for the issuance of a writ of execution and/or guidelines for the implementation of the SC order.

The Makati government also asked for the issuance of a status quo ante order, which would halt the transfer of jurisdiction, pending the motion.
