The #SupremeCourtPH (SC) has ruled that unauthorized structures on public land, including videoke machines, 𝘴𝘢𝘳𝘪-𝘴𝘢𝘳𝘪 stores, billiard tables, 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘴, and other businesses on beaches, may be demolished for being public nuisances.

In a Decision written by Associate Justice Amy C. Lazaro-Javier, the SC’s Second Division upheld the order to demolish various illegal structures along Matabungkay Beach in Lian, Batangas.

The owners of Villa Alexandra Beach Resort and Restaurant in Matabungkay Beach filed a case for abatement of nuisance, easement, and injunction against Pablo and Patnubay Calimlim (Calimlims), who had operated informal structures along the beach for over 50 years.

The resort owners claimed the structures were built without the necessary permits and disrupted their business and inconvenienced guests, leading to financial losses.

Affirming the Court of Appeals ruling which ordered the demolition of the illegal structures for being public nuisances, the SC found that the structures were built on public foreshore land without the required lease agreement from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).

According to DENR Administrative Order No. 2004-24, in relation to the 𝘗𝘶𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘤 𝘓𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘈𝘤𝘵 or Commonwealth Act No. 141, foreshore lands may be disposed of only through a lease agreement with the DENR. The Calimlims’ lease application was denied by the DENR, making their occupation and use of the land unauthorized.

The DENR acknowledged this illegal occupancy and issued Notices to Vacate, which the Calimlims ignored. The SC ruled that their obstruction of and unauthorized occupation and use of the foreshore land equate to a public nuisance.

After more than three years, the Philippines is finally out of the Financial Action Task Force's (FATF) grey list or list of jurisdictions under increased monitoring.

In a statement late Friday, the FATF said the Philippines made significant progress improving its anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing regime.
