Taguig Mayor Lani Cayetano and Makati Mayor Abby Binay. Jonathan Cellona and George Calvelo, ABS-CBN News MANILA — Taguig Mayor Lani Cayetano has asked the Supreme Court to investigate allegedly false claims that Makati Mayor Abby Binay made over a case involving a territorial dispute between their respective cities. In an extremely urgent manifestation with motion filed before the Supreme Court on Tuesday, Cayetano urged the high court to “require petitioner City of Makati and Mayor Abigail Binay to show cause why they should not be sanctioned.” Cayetano was reacting to statements made by Binay in a media interview where she supposedly claimed that Makati City received an order from the Supreme Court setting the case for oral arguments on the land dispute over the Fort Bonifacio Military Reservation. In a press release in April, the Supreme Court said it had ruled with finality that the entire Fort Andres Bonifacio, which includes Bonifacio Global City, and some enlisted men’s barangays (EMBO’s) belong to Taguig. But in a recent interview, Binay claimed the ruling is not yet final as they allegedly received an order setting the case for hearing. Supreme Court spokesperson Brian Keith Hosaka earlier clarified that he had “no information about an oral argument being set regarding this case.” Taguig Mayor Lani Cayetano arrives at the Supreme Court to file a manifestation regarding her city's territorial dispute with Makati.

Makati City © Paul Mondok / Lonely Planet At first blush, Makati nests a premiere business district, and by extension its high-rises, five-star hotels and upscale lifestyle centers. At the city’s fringes, and perhaps its soul, is the rich art scene, old town pedicabs (cycle rickshaws) and roadside eateries, and a buzzing subculture championing an independently-run dining, drinking and retail scene; turning old-town and red-light districts into hip, small-establishment-driven neighborhoods. Mornings at the local weekend market Makati has two park-operated, pop-up markets that have reliably set up shop between 7AM and 2PM every weekend for over a decade now. Saturday is hosted by puto dinuguan). You can also find abaca-woven bags, Tillandsia air plants, and upcycled bottle lamps. Any given noon at Salcedo Market © Paul Mondok / Lonely Planet Soak in the multi-activity eccentricities of Makati Central Square Makati Central Square was formerly called Makati Cinema Square because the cinema was the mall’s main feature in its heyday circa the 1980s. Now it’s a kitsch shopping center that houses a curious mix of shops, attracting a following despite being dwarfed by upscale neighboring malls. Inside: an experimental-art theater, a 42-lane bowling alley and billiard center, a guns-and-ammo store, art galleries and an art supply shop, several thrift-clothing stores, a vinyl record emporium, and cheap dining joints with religiously returning patrons. At one point, a local wrestling ...

Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, June 13) — Taguig City Mayor Lani Cayetano has formally asked the Supreme Court (SC) "to investigate the false and troubling claims" of Makati Mayor Abby Binay on the cities' land dispute. In a statement on Tuesday, Cayetano said she filed before the SC an urgent Manifestation and Motion, which also seeks a show-cause order against Binay. This move stemmed from Binay's statement to the media that Makati's legal team received a notice from the SC for a hearing on its urgent motion to bring the case involving the Fort Bonifacio Military Reservation areas before the en banc. The top court, however, denied that oral arguments have been set for the issue. READ: The SC already ruled with finality that the disputed Fort Bonifacio Military Reservation, where Bonifacio Global City is now located, and some barangays in Makati are under the jurisdiction of Taguig City. The Taguig mayor expressed "grave concern" over the recent developments. Taguig mayor Lani Cayetano asks Supreme Court to investigate “troubling claims” made by Makati mayor Abby Binay on their territorial dispute — and order Makati and Binay to show cause why they should not be sanctioned. "While this claim turned out to be totally false, it appeared to support the social media posts about the proposed reopening of the case," Cayetano said. The Taguig chief executive was referring to posts claiming Binay spoke to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos, and Chief J...

In 2021, the SC ruled that Fort Bonifacio Military Reservation (BMR), where BGC is located, belongs to Taguig and enjoined the City government of Makati to cease exercising jurisdiction over the territory. But Cayetano said lawyer Warren San Jose of Taguig’s Legal Office confirmed with the staff of the SC’s Third Division, which is handling the issue, that no such order or resolution had been issued. “While this claim turned out to be totally false, it appeared to support the social media posts about the proposed reopening of the case,” Mayor Lani said, referring to a post that Binay has spoken to ranking officials of the government for help. “These social media posts invoked by Taguig have made outrageous and irresponsible allegations against the President, the First Lady and the Court itself. They have been ignored by credible media outlets and for good reason. No right-thinking lawyer would petition the High Court on the basis of these posts. Yet, Taguig, displaying unfathomable wisdom, has chosen to do so. Regardless, if we are ...
