OUTGOING PHILIPPINE Senator and Makati Mayor-elect Maria Lourdes Nancy S. Binay on Thursday said that she is planning to meet with the Taguig City mayor to discuss issues regarding the “Embo” villages.

“It’s easy for the two of us to talk. Makati still has assets in Taguig, so that’s one of the things we’ll talk about,” Ms. Binay said at a news briefing.

Last year, the Supreme Court had ruled with finality on a case upholding Taguig’s ownership of the 729-hectare Bonifacio City Complex and several adjoining neighborhoods. This included 10 enlisted men’s barrios or “Embo” villages, which Makati had delisted after the resolution of a territorial dispute with Taguig.

Ms. Binay said that she will ask for the courtesy resignation of all department heads of the Makati City government once she is in office.

“At some point, we will also ask for the courtesy resignation of department heads of Makati,” she added.

Local government officials are set to take office in their elected positions by June 30. — Adrian H. Halili
