Right to Assembly; Permit (2007)

Batas Pambansa 880, the Public Assembly Law of 1985, regulates the conduct
of all protest rallies in the Philippines.

(a) Salakay, Bayan! held a protest rally and planned to march from Quezon City
to Luneta in Manila. They received a permit from the Mayor of Quezon City, but not from
the Mayor of Manila. They were able to march in Quezon City and up to the boundary
separating it from the City of Manila. Three meters after crossing the boundary, the
Manila Police stopped them for posing a danger to public safety. Was this a valid
exercise of police power?

(b) The security police of the Southern Luzon Expressway spotted a caravan of
20 vehicles, with paper banners taped on their sides and protesting graft and corruption
in government. They were driving at 50 kilometers per hour in a 40-90 kilometers per
hour zone. Some banners had been blown off by the wind, and posed a hazard to other
motorists. They were stopped by the security police. The protesters then proceeded to
march instead, sandwiched between the caravan vehicles. They were also stopped by
the security force. May the security police validly stop the vehicles and the marchers?
Archipelagic Doctrine (2013)

No.VI. Congress passed Republic Act No. 7711 to comply with the United
Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

In a petition filed with the Supreme Court, Anak Ti Ilocos, an association of


Ilocano professionals, argued that Republic Act No. 7711discarded the definition of the
Philippine territory under the Treaty of Paris and in related treaties; excluded the
Kalayaan Islands and the Scarborough Shoals from the Philippine Archipelagic
baselines; and converted internal waters into archipelagic waters.

Is the petition meritorious?

Archipelagic Doctrine (2009) No.I. b. Under the archipelago doctrine, the


waters around, between, and connecting the islands of the archipelago form part of the
territorial sea of the archipelagic state.
Eminent Domain; Socialized Housing (2009)

No.XVII. Filipinas Computer Corporation (FCC), a local manufacturer of


computers and computer parts, owns a sprawling plant in a 5,000-square meter lot in
Pasig City. To remedy the city’s acute housing shortage, compounded by a burgeoning
population, the Sangguniang Panglungsod authorized the City Mayor to negotiate for
the purchase of the lot. The Sanggunian intends to subdivide the property into small
residential lots to be distributed at cost to qualified city residents. But FCC refused to
sell the lot. Hard pressed to find a suitable property to house its homeless residents, the
city filed a complaint for eminent domain against FCC.

(a) If FCC hires you as lawyer, what defense or defenses would you set up in
order to resist the expropriation of the property? Explain.

(b) If the court grants the City’s prayer for expropriation, but the City delays
payment of the amount determined by the court as just compensation, can FCC recover
the property from pasig city?

(c) Suppose the expropriation succeeds, but the city decides to abandon its plan
to subdivide the property for residential purposes having found much bigger lot, can
FCC legally demand that it be allowed to repurchase the property from the city of
Pasig? Why or why not?
