Demolition pushes through after court junked injunction petition

AFTER the court denied the motion filed by residents of J.C. De Vera St. in Sitio Mahayahay, Barangay Carreta, demolition in the area pushed through yesterday.

The demolition was carried out by Deputy Sheriff Edilberto Suarin after the court resolved the motion and issued an order to push through with the implementation of the writ of demolition last March 21.

Suarin earlier implemented the clearing on the area last March 11 and 12. But this was stalled due to some circumstances, like the resolution of the motion, the rain during the previous week and the on-going demolition in Sitio San Miguel Barangay Apas where Suarin is also the implementing sheriff. I have temporarily stopped the demolition in Carreta since I was also supervising in Apas. My presence is really needed during the implementation, Suarin told Sun.Star Cebu.

Intervened

The City Government also intervened after they found out that debris of some of the structures that were dismantled was just dumped on the road. The families were also on the street.

In an earlier interview, the Citys legal office said families and debris should not be dumped on the street since J.C. De Vera St. is used as a diversion road following the concreting works in Sergio Osmea Ave.Households

Suarin said there are 34 structures, including a pre-school ran by a non-government organization, and 117 households in the area that will be cleared.

The earlier demolition has torn down 10 houses. The lot is owned by George Giminez, a private individual.

Dionesio Suico, a structure owner in the area, said the move was illegal.

Suico said Rene Chavez, who claims as the representative of the private owner, is not authorized.
