00:48 The Supreme Court decided to remove more than 2,000 families from 73 hectares of private developer land.
01:01 The case was brought to the Supreme Court.
01:03 The case has a finality. The issues and titles were cancelled.
01:07 The sheriff's job is only a ministerial job to implement the rate of execution and rate of demolition dated May 6, 2022.
01:14 There is no day for the sheriff to stop.
01:17 The land was confiscated from the residents by former President Fidel Ramos, Joseph Estrada, and Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
01:24 But they learned that their certificate of land ownership award or CLOA was cancelled.
01:29 We are also wondering why it was cancelled during the pandemic.
01:34 Our farmers were not informed why their CLOA was cancelled.
01:39 According to Attorney Henner Endona, Legal Counsel of Clark Hills Properties Corporation, the case started in 1997.
