In a dialogue held on 27 August 2013 with the Department of Interior and Local Government through its Undersecretary Rafael Santos and representatives from the Philippine National Police (PNP), Sheriffs Confederation of the Philippines, City of Marikina, and the Presidential Commission for the Urban Poor (PCUP), concerns were raised regarding the observance of the proper conduct of a pre-demolition conference prior to eviction and/or demolition. In relation thereto, it was agreed that there is a necessity that copies of the writs of eviction and/or demolition as well as notices to vacate shall be furnished not only the contending parties of the eviction and/or demolition case and their counsels of record, but simultaneously also, the PNP and the PCUP.
Henceforth, all concerned are hereby DIRECTED to FURNISH, in addition to the concerned parties of the eviction and/or demolition case and their counsels of record, the PNP (National Headquarters Camp General Crame, Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines 1000) and the PCUP (5/F, DHC Bldg., 1115 EDSA, Project 7, Quezon City 1105), copies of the abovementioned writs of eviction and/or demolition, together with the notices to vacate. This is for the purpose of properly and effectively carrying out the mandates of all stakeholders involved in the implementation of Republic Act No. 7279, otherwise known as the Urban Development and Housing Act of 1992.
Strict compliance is hereby enjoined. THIECD
