UP to bar use of lot

[cebulifer]

---

UP owns the lot! Hangtud sa other side sa creek sa likod. The City was even negotiating with UP for a land swap. Ambot unsay nahitabo!

Dako kaayo area sa UP. Puno ug squatters lang! Mas maayo i-fence off gyud ng property diha!

[raski]

of course UP owns the lot, not the city, otherwise they wouldn't be trying to gain possession and control over it. that requires only common sense to arrive at.

why is this issue so complicated? is it because once again people are confusing compassion with the rule of law? the question here in my opinion is a relatively simple one. who is the rightful owner of the lot and hence is the proper party to occupy it? that's it, that simple. if people are poor and do not have a home, it does not give them the right to occupy land that belongs to someone else. this is just pure politicking on the part of mary ann, because squatters though not legally bona-fide residents of the city are registered voters in their illegal place of domicile, they are a block-voting constituency and hence a danger to anyone who is "ambisyosa". In this she is taking a page out of the Garcia rule book. Style (suroy-suroy) is always better than substance (rule of law).

The land IS definitely owned by UP. And since UP is an institution for EDUCATION, it has no obligation whatsoever to accommodate the people who have been displaced from the fire.

UP has had plans to expand. It was presented in the school paper, TUG-ANI a few semesters ago. If I'm not mistaken, the expansion plan included the land surrounding the current campus, now (still) occupied by squatters. And, puslan man ning increase ang tuition, mo expect nalang sab mi ug improvement sa among school. If UP sees these squatters as a hindrance to improvement, I think it is only fair that they took this opportunity to get back the land that was meant for the institution.

Besides, as squatters, they have absolutely no right to the land that they are squatting on. What UP did is completely legal. Incompassionate as it may sound, but still legal.

And that's the sad thing about the whole situation that it took an act of God (fire) to finally put this land in the hands of its rightful owners. The stupid lina law has really ruined this country because it has permitted lawlessness where a more lawful method (relocation) would have been much better. The question I would like to ask of people like Mary Ann is, if she feels so badly about the squatters and this is a genuine feeling of compassion (as opposed to TRAPO politicking) then why doesn't she allow the squatters to build their shanties in her mansion which I hear is a very big house with a very big lawn and large swimming pool?

She only feels compassion for them if it is someone else who will suffer for her compassion, but if it were her land and her house being molested by illegal trespassers then she'd be barging into the courts demanding that the structures be demolished, by fire if necessary... oh the irony of these hypocritical fools...
