00:00Isinusulong na four-point agenda ng Human Settlements Adjudication Commission
00:04para sa reforma sa sektor ng pabahay at urban development
00:09atin tatalakayin kasama si Atty. Fidel X. Conde Jr.,
00:13OIC Executive Commissioner ng Human Settlements Adjudication Commission.
00:19Atty. X. Conde, magandang tanghali po.
00:21Magandang tanghali, Asik. Magandang tanghali, Yusek.
00:23Sir, bilang key shelter agency na-attached sa DISUD
00:28or Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development.
00:31Ano po ang tungkulin ng Human Settlements Adjudication Commission
00:35sa Expanded 4PH Program?
00:37Thank you, Asik Jowino.
00:40Dahil magkakaroon ng mga pabahay sa Expanded Housing Program,
00:45magkakaroon po ng pagkakatatag ng mga asosasyon
00:49na kung tawagin ay homeowners association.
00:52Sila po ang magbibigay ng kaayusan at kapaiyapaan sa ating komunidad.
00:58At kasama po dito ang officers.
01:03At ang officers po ay binoboto.
01:06So, dadaan po sila sa proseso.
01:09Yung proseso po yun, kung meron pong dispute
01:11among homeowners association,
01:14sa amin po ang punta.
01:16Parang sa private subdivisions and villages din.
01:19Exactly.
01:19Sir, isa sa mga pahayag po ni Desoud Secretary Aliling
01:25ang pagpapabilis po ng pagresolva ng mga disputes
01:28o kaso patungkol sa housing or human settlements.
01:32Ano po ba yung mga hakbang na ginagawa ng inyong tanggapan
01:34upang matugunan ang direktibang ito?
01:37Thank you, USEC, sa iyong napakagandang tanong.
01:40Kasi, yung pagpapabilis,
01:43yan ang priority ng ating magiting na sekretary,
01:47si Sekretary Engineer Jose Aliling.
01:49At tinukoy niya sa amin na kailangan pabilisin.
01:52Ang kaso sa amin,
01:54sa adjudicator level,
01:59parang sa DOJ, sa city prosecutor level,
02:01at then, pag hindi ka na kontento,
02:03aakit ka ng appeal sa DOJ Sekretary,
02:06sa amin naman, sa commission.
02:07So, pinabilis natin yan.
02:10Sa commission level where I'm a part of,
02:13dati tumatagal yan ng two years sa appeal.
02:15Ngayon, ano na lang,
02:16average na six months.
02:18So, kapag nag-motion for reconsideration,
02:22pinabilis din namin yan.
02:23Ngayon, three months lang.
02:25At katunayan,
02:26kung pwede kong idagdag,
02:28ang mga decision namin,
02:30dati, ina-appeal sa Office of the President,
02:35nung kami HLWB pa,
02:36ngayon, diretsyo na sa Court of Appeals.
02:39Ah, ngayon siya.
02:40Oo.
02:41So, sa Court of Appeals ngayon,
02:4296% ang aming affirmation rate.
02:45So, malamang sa hindi,
02:47puro tama yung aming desisyon.
02:50So, yun.
02:51So, yun yung mga pagbabago.
02:54At syempre,
02:56itinugma rin namin,
02:57meron din kasi kaming rules of procedure.
03:00Parang sa court,
03:01merong rules of court.
03:03Dito naman,
03:03meron din kaming rules of procedure.
03:04Tinugma namin sa pangailangan ng taong bayan.
03:09So,
03:11dati-dati,
03:12pag may desisyon ng komisyon,
03:14hindi pa i-implement
03:16kung merong appeals sa Court of Appeals dati.
03:20So, ngayon,
03:22sa tulong din ng DOJ,
03:24ni Secretary Boing Rimulya,
03:26nakakuha kami ng DOJ opinion
03:28na ang sinasabi is,
03:30ang ayon sa aming batas na Republic Act 11201,
03:34after ma-release ng komisyon,
03:37ang kanyang desisyon,
03:39kung walang TRO sa Court of Appeals,
03:42kung walang injunction sa Court of Appeals,
03:44kahit pa naka-appeal sa Court of Appeals,
03:47ay ipapatupad na namin.
03:49Yan po ang nag-save ng 5 years from implementation,
03:54kung bibilangan mo yung Court of Appeals
03:56at bibilangan mo yung Supreme Court na appeal,
04:00nakatipid po tayo ng 5 taon.
04:02Napabilis po natin ang implementation ng 5 taon.
04:06Sobrang importante po yan.
04:08Dahil paglabas po ng desisyon ng komisyon,
04:11implementation na.
04:12Tapos, pinasok na rin namin yan
04:15sa aming rules of procedure
04:17to conform with our rules of procedure.
04:20And our rules of procedure came out this year.
04:23It took effect July 15.
04:26So, it's been two weeks in effect.
04:30But we can also,
04:31we already felt how the stakeholders received it.
04:38Especially those, the winning parties,
04:40they're now confident that they can get justice.
04:45Ayan, nabanggit nyo, attorney,
04:47yung rules of procedure na nirevise
04:50at two weeks pa lang in effect.
04:52Pwede nyo po bang further i-elaborate
04:56kung paano makaka-apekto ito sa stakeholders?
04:59Okay.
05:01Aside from that,
05:03that I said earlier,
05:04number two,
05:05it levels the playing field.
05:07Kasi, sometimes,
05:10parang the buyer is sometimes
05:15in a disadvantaged situation.
05:18So,
05:19the law applicable there was
05:22PD 957,
05:24which until today is good law.
05:26Essentially,
05:27it's a buyer protection act.
05:29It's a social legislation.
05:31Parang,
05:32kumbaga sa labor code,
05:33social legislation.
05:34Dito naman,
05:35para sa,
05:37maaaring maging big,
05:38para naman sa buyer,
05:39it's also a social legislation.
05:41So,
05:41ang ginawa po namin,
05:43may nakita po kami,
05:44naglagay po kami ng
05:45provisional remedy
05:48ng attachment.
05:49So,
05:50halimbawa,
05:50mayroon kang biniling property,
05:52pwedeng,
05:53sa developer ha,
05:54pwedeng condominium,
05:56tapos,
05:56minsan,
06:00siyempre,
06:00huhulugan mo yun eh,
06:01di ba?
06:02So,
06:02dahil huhulugan mo,
06:03hindi ka pa fully paid,
06:05dahil hindi ka pa fully paid,
06:06yung titulo,
06:07nasa developer pa.
06:09Diba?
06:09So,
06:10itong bagong,
06:12ah,
06:12provisional attachment ito,
06:14minsan kasi,
06:14yung ibang developer,
06:15nang hindi mo alam,
06:16isinasanla,
06:18or ibinibenta sa iba.
06:20So,
06:20at the end of the day,
06:21pag di mo nabantayan na maayos,
06:23wala pa lang hawak.
06:24Diba?
06:25Kasi,
06:25wala ang hawak,
06:26kasi,
06:27wala sa yung titulo,
06:27tapos naibenta na sa iba.
06:29So,
06:29yung provisional remedy,
06:30yun ang sagot.
06:31Pag dinamanda mo,
06:33pwede kang humingi
06:34sa,
06:35ng remedy sa amin,
06:37na,
06:38na,
06:39i-attach.
06:39Ayan,
06:40alam niya,
06:40music merge.
06:41So,
06:42kapag in-attach yung property,
06:44kapag gin-rant namin,
06:45hindi pwedeng galawin.
06:46Hanggang hindi natatapos yung,
06:48yung desisyon.
06:49As it's Joey,
06:50sobrang ano yun,
06:51laking tulong talaga ng HSA.
06:52Kasi,
06:52ang dami,
06:53katulad sa DOJ Action Center,
06:55ang dami namin ng mga buyers,
06:57na,
06:58nag,
06:58ano,
06:58nag-invest sa mga condo developments.
07:00It's about for some time,
07:02for ilang years,
07:03ang daming condo developments
07:04na nangyayari.
07:05Tapos,
07:06yung mga iba,
07:06fly-by-night.
07:07So,
07:08yung mga ibang buyers,
07:09nag-uhulog,
07:10kada buwan.
07:10Tapos,
07:11buong magugulat sila,
07:12wala na pala yung developer,
07:13or,
07:14naisanla na pala yung property.
07:15Sa iba,
07:16so,
07:16wala silang habol.
07:17So,
07:17now that we have,
07:18ah,
07:19itong adjudication procedure with HSA,
07:21nagkakaroon silang remedy,
07:23na,
07:24imbis na mag-file sa court,
07:25which sometimes take time,
07:26ito,
07:27meron,
07:27nakaharap ka agad sila sa developer,
07:29kasi pinapatawag nyo,
07:30di ba,
07:30pareho,
07:30sir?
07:31Yes,
07:31oo.
07:31So,
07:31laking tulong talaga,
07:32sir.
07:33Pero,
07:33sir,
07:33ano po ba yung pinamalaking pagbabagong ginawa po ng HSA sa 2025 revised rules of procedure po?
07:41Ah,
07:41again,
07:41yung,
07:42yung pauna kong sinabi,
07:43yung execution pending appeal.
07:46Yan na po.
07:47Yan ang pinaka most powerful change,
07:49no?
07:50And,
07:51it reverberates to,
07:52to,
07:53to the stakeholders,
07:55because,
07:56the,
07:57the,
07:57the decision of HSA becomes more important and potent than ever before.
08:05We have been in existence for five years and six months,
08:10so,
08:10medyo bago pa lang,
08:11but this is a game changer.
08:12Under the four-point agenda,
08:16sir,
08:16ano pa po yung,
08:17pwedeng asahan ng ating stakeholders?
08:21Ah,
08:21okay.
08:22Ah,
08:23yun,
08:23well,
08:24essentially po kasi,
08:25ang Human Settlements Adjudication Commission,
08:28wala pong kinalaman sa production.
08:31Kasi,
08:31kami po,
08:32value,
08:32ang may kinalaman po kami sa adjudication.
08:34So,
08:35just like sa DOJ,
08:36where I also serve as an undersecretary,
08:39crucial po yung mabilis eh.
08:42So,
08:44any,
08:45any adjudication office,
08:47ah,
08:49sometimes suffers that,
08:51is faced with that kind of challenge.
08:53So,
08:54with us,
08:54we're,
08:55we're happy to,
08:56to say that,
08:57even the commission audit,
08:59which audits not only the finance,
09:02but also the performance,
09:04ah,
09:04few knows that,
09:05no?
09:05They also audit the performance.
09:07They have said,
09:08that our performance,
09:09in terms of,
09:10ah,
09:10ah,
09:12decision within the prescribed period,
09:14has increased tremendously.
09:16I think we have doubled,
09:17than,
09:18than,
09:19when we started before.
09:20So,
09:21so,
09:22because it's fast,
09:24again,
09:24it brings peace to the community,
09:25when you talk about,
09:27election of homeowners,
09:28ah,
09:29what do we know about homeowners eh?
09:30The election there is,
09:31ah,
09:32emotional,
09:32because,
09:33they're essentially neighbors,
09:35you know,
09:35sometimes they're friends,
09:37ah,
09:37that,
09:37turned frenemies,
09:39as they say.
09:40So,
09:41if,
09:41if we provide,
09:42ah,
09:42fast,
09:43ah,
09:44ah,
09:45decision on that,
09:46nagkakaroon ng gobyerno sa baba.
09:49Sir,
09:49kung fast naman po,
09:50yung pag,
09:51ah,
09:51deliberate po,
09:52you,
09:53you mentioned nga po,
09:54no,

09:55three months,
09:55and then yung deliberation,
09:57mga six months,
09:58no?
09:59So,
09:59parang total,
09:59less than a year.
10:00May resolve na kagad yung,
10:02yung issues nalas, sir.
10:03But,
10:04in terms of,
10:04ah,

10:33Okay.

10:34quasi-judicial eh.
10:35Medyo,
10:36may mga technicalities involved that,
10:39ah,
10:41are important to.
10:43Parang it's a balance between procedure,
10:44and substantive,
10:45di ba?
10:46So,
10:46you know that,
10:47you say,
10:48so,
