Hon. Erdolfo V. Balajadia, Member of the Committee, signified The Resolution is obviously
centered on a building constructed along Session Road, Baguio City owned by MBP Realty Corporation which
allegedly exceeded the height requirement provided for in Ordinance Numbered 051, series of 2001,
particularly Section 31 thereof.
The Resolution seeks to inform the City Planning and Development Coordinator and Zoning
Administrator/Officer of Baguio City of Section 31 of the said ordinance, and, at the same time, recommends
compliance to the cited ordinance.
This matter has been sufficiently discussed during the September 3, 2012 session of this august body
so that said discussions should be taken into consideration in order not to appear that the building in question
is being singled out and in order that said office shall be able to come out with a fair and objective action
considering other buildings constructed in the City of Baguio and considering other facts and circumstances
revealed during the said session.
Consequently, the Office of the City Planning and Development Coordinator and Zoning
Administrator/Officer of Baguio City must be advised to consider the discussions during the September 3, 2012
session in whatever action it may take. (Item 22, 28 January 2013 Agenda)

of trees of the Luneta Hill by Shoe Mart Development Corporation and requesting the DENR and the City
Government of Baguio to withdraw all permits issued relative to the project was returned on 26 April 2012
nd
to the proponent, Hon. Richard A. Cario. The motion for the approval of the 2 Indorsement dated 23
March 2012 of the Committee on the Whole headed by the Committee on Health and Sanitation, Ecology
and Environmental Protection was lost for lack of required number of affirmative votes during the 23 April
2012 Regular Session.) (Item 8, 07 January 2013 Agenda)
This is in reference to Proposed Resolution Nr. PR 0031-12 of Honorable Richard A.

Cario opposing the cutting, pruning and/or earth-balling of trees at the Luneta Hill by Shoe Mart
Development Corporation and requesting DENR and the City Government of Baguio to withdraw all
permits issued relative to the project.
The proposed resolution was directly re-filed with the Committee of the Whole on ground
that the Committee on Health and Sanitation, Ecology and Environmental Protection has not made
clear and distinct recommendation on the said proposed resolution.
Contrary to the said declaration, the content of the said proposed resolution had been
sufficiently discussed in two Committee Reports, which both lost. In the first Committee Report,
which lost on April 23, 2012, it was discussed, thus:
xxx
With respect to the validity of the issuance of the tree-cutting and earth-balling
permit, this matter should have been addressed to the Department of Environment
and Natural Resources, which has the sole authority to act on this matter.
With respect to the issuance of the building permit, it is the City Building
and Architecture Office (CBAO) which has the authority to cancel or revise the
permit issued, and to answer queries as to the legality of the issuance of the same.
The August Body has no authority to order the cancellation of the permit
granted to SM Baguio for the cutting and/or earth-balling of trees.
xx x
Incidentally, at present, there are civil cases that are filed that dwell on, among others,
the validity of the permit issued to SM Baguio for the cutting and/or earth-balling of
trees, as well as the issuance of the Environmental Compliance Certificate and
building permit, and the ownership of the lot where SM Baguio is located. The said
cases are now pending before the Regional Trial Court of Baguio City.
It is also for the above reason that the August Body is prevented from
discussing fully the merits of these issues, lest the August Body be cited for indirect
contempt for violating the sub judice rule.
xxx
In the second Committee Report, which lost on May 3, 2012, the said Proposed Resolution
was also taken up. Pertinent portion of the said Committee Report is hereunder quoted, to wit:
xxx
With respect to the other proposed resolutions, statements and letters, the matters
covered by these proposed resolutions, statements and letters are part of the issues
raised in Civil Case No. 7595-R entitled, Cordillera Global Network, et al. vs. Sec.
Ramon J.P. Paje, et al. for Injunction with Prayer for Temporary Environmental
Protection Order, and in Civil Case No. 7629-R entitled, Judy Lyn Adajar, et al. vs.
Sec. Ramon J.P. Paje, et al. for Declaration of Nullity and Injunction with Prayer for
Temporary Environmental Protection Order, which are both pending before the
Regional Trial Court Branch 5 of Baguio City.
xxx
In order to avert the danger of violating the sub judice rule and, subsequently, be held
in contempt of court, the Committee hereby recommends that the other proposed
resolutions, statements, letters, and other complaints that cover matters subject of
Civil Cases Nos. 7595-R and 7629-R be not acted upon pending the resolution of the
said civil cases.
xxx
Clearly, the proposed resolution has been properly disposed of in the two Committee
Reports. Apparently, there was misappreciation of facts with the declaration that no clear and
distinct recommendation was made with respect to the subject proposed resolution.
Anent the issue of direct filing done relative to the proposed resolution, the Committee is of
the opinion that this manner of re-filing is not supported by the rules and therefore, must not be
allowed. Otherwise, this would create chaos and bad precedent.
All told, without being repetitious, the Committees stand on the proposed resolution
remains. The matters covered by the proposed resolution are part of the issues raised in the two civil
cases, Civil Case No. 7595-R and Civil Case No. 7629-R. Incidentally, the Honorable Trial Court,
Branch 5 of Baguio City has already made rulings in both cases. However, the said cases are subject
of appeal before the Honorable Court of Appeals. Thus, the controversies surrounding the said civil
cases, including the matters taken up in the proposed resolution, are still within the ambit of sub
judice rule. To allow action on the said proposed resolution would expose the August Body to
possible sanction for indirect contempt for violation of the sub judice rule. The Committee hereby
recommends that the proposed resolution be not acted upon pending the final disposition of the
abovementioned civil cases by the appellate courts.
Hon. Philian Louise C. Weygan-Allan, Member of the Committee signified, An action
is suggested, a vote on the proposed resolution is proper.
