Am sure the government lawyers are aware of “right of eminent domain”. If so, why are they being held prisoner by this individual? Is he/she a GMA crony? It makes you wonder.

Also, is eminent domain mentioned in the Philippine Constitution? It is a good question isn’t it. Hmmm.

Just for clarification, what is right of eminent domain? It is another word for condemnation – the right of the government to take private property for a public purpose, for example, to make way for a road. The Constitution requires the government to pay you fair compensation if it takes your property.
