Defendants.

CIVIL CASE NO. 2595-19
For: Expropriation
x------------------------------x

C O M P L A I N T
 (Summons by Publication)
(With Prayer for the Service of Summons by Publication and the Issuance of a Writ of Possession)
PLAINTIFF, by counsel, respectfully states:
1.       Plaintiff Republic of the Philippines, represented by the Department of Energy (DOE), is a sovereign political entity with the inherent power to expropriate private property for public use upon payment of just compensation.  It may be served with court processes through its statutory counsel, the Office of the Solicitor General (OSG), at 134 Amorsolo Street, Legaspi Village, Makati City.
2.     Private defendant John Doe is a claimant of the property which is the subject of this case. His true name and address is unknown and despite diligent inquiry, cannot be ascertained. He is being impleaded in accordance with Section 1, Rule 67 of the 1997 Rules of Civil Procedure.
3.     Public defendant Municipal Assessor of Pasuquin, Ilocos Norte, who is charged with the duty, inter alia, of maintaining a system for real property identification and accounting for taxation purposes, is impleaded as a nominal party.  She holds office in Pasuquin, Ilocos Norte, where she may be served with summons and other court processes;
4.     The 1987 Constitution recognizes the State’s paramount interest in improving the quality of life for all, which may be done by promoting industrialization that utilizes full and efficient use of human and natural resources.  If achieved, industrialization will significantly improve the delivery of goods and services produced by the nation.  Towards this end, the policy of the State is to give all sectors of the economy, including the private sector, optimum opportunity to develop the country’s natural resources;1
5.     Section 2, Article XII of the 1987 Constitution provides:

SEC. 2. All lands of the public domain, waters, minerals, coal, petroleum, and other mineral oils, all forces of potential energy, fisheries, forests or timber, wildlife, flora and fauna, and other natural resources are owned by the State.  With the exception of agricultural lands, all other natural resources shall not be alienated.  The exploration, development, and utilization of natural resources shall be under the full control and supervision of the State.  The State may directly undertake such activities, or it may enter into co-production, joint venture, or production-sharing agreements with Filipino citizens, or corporations or associations at least sixty per centum of whose capital is owned by such citizens [...]
6.     The National Government, through the DOE, endeavors to proactively involve the private sector in pursuing energy projects to meet the energy demands of an industrialized nation. Republic Act (R.A.) No. 91362 declares it a State policy to enhance the inflow of private capital and broaden the ownership base of the power generation, transmission and distribution sectors in order to minimize the financial risk exposure of the National Government.
7.     Under R.A. No. 7638,3 the DOE is required to “[f]ormulate policies for the planning and implementation of a comprehensive program for the efficient supply and economical use of energy consistent with the approved national economic plan and with the policies on environmental protection and conservation and maintenance of ecological balance[…].”
8.     To complement the mandate of the DOE, Executive Order (E.O.) No. 462, Series of 1997, was issued to enable the private sector to participate in the exploration, development, utilization and commercialization of ocean, solar and wind energy resources for power and commercialization.
9.     The harnessing and utilization of renewable energy comprises a critical component of the government’s strategy to provide energy supply for the country.4 In this regard, the DOE has partnered with the Energy Development Corporation (EDC) to exploit wind energy resources for wide-scale use.
10.  Accordingly, the DOE in partnership with the EDC will undertake the Burgos Wind Project (BWP) under DOE Certificate of Registration No. WESC-2009-09-004.
11.    The BWP is a flagship project of the National Government that aims to promote energy security and sufficiency.  With the mounting demand for electricity, the BWP will generate and provide the entire Luzon and Visayas grids with “clean electricity” through the development, construction and operation of as much as fifty (50) wind turbines.  By harnessing wind in the generation of energy, the BWP will likewise displace as much as 124,901 tons of carbon dioxide, which will effectively curb greenhouse gas emissions.  The BWP will have a capacity of 86 megawatts (86 mw) and will cover an area of approximately six hundred hectares (600 Ha) across four (4) municipalities in the Province of Ilocos Ilocos Norte.  Once completed, it will become the biggest wind farm in the Philippines.
12.  The BWP is a public necessity and of paramount national importance as it aims to achieve self-reliance in the country's energy requirements through the integrated and intensive development of its indigenous energy resources and through the judicious conservation, renewal and efficient utilization of energy to keep pace with the country's growing demand.
13.  The implementation of the BWP necessitates the immediate acquisition of properties within the City of Laoag and the Municipalities of Bacarra, Pasuquin and Burgos, Ilocos Norte.
14.  Private defendant claims an interest – based on Tax Declaration No. 08-0005-015395- over Lot No. 321377, with an area of 96 square meters (sq. m.), more or less, situated in Brgy. #5, Davila, Pasuquin, Ilocos Norte.
15.  Plaintiff seeks to expropriate a portion of the subject property, or the aggregate area of 46 sq. m., which will be needed in the implementation of the BWP6.
16.  There is no permanent improvement constructed on the subject portion per the Certification7 issued by the Municipal Assessor of Pasuquin.

ARGUMENT IN SUPPORT OF THE PRAYER FOR THE ISSUANCE OF THE WRIT OF POSSESSION
17.  Being a flagship project of the National Government, the issuance of a writ of possession to facilitate plaintiff's immediate entry into the subject property to begin the construction of the BWP is of utmost urgency.
18.  The prompt implementation of the BWP is significant as it will lessen the country's dependence on oil as a primary energy source. And as the BWP will generate “clean electricity”, it will at the same time address the pressing need for the government to take a more active role in protecting and preserving the environment.
19.  In Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) v. J. King and Sons Company, Inc.,8 the Supreme Court held that, upon compliance with the guidelines set forth in Section 4 of R.A. No. 8974, the issuance of a writ of possession is a ministerial duty:

R.A. No. 8974 provides a different scheme for the obtention of a writ of possession.  The law does not require a deposit with a government bank; instead it requires the government to immediately pay the property owner.  The provisional character of this payment means that it is not yet final, yet, sufficient under the law to entitle the Government to the writ of possession over the expropriated property.  The provisional payment is a prerequisite and a trigger for the issuance of the writ of possession.  In Gingoyon, we held that:

It is the plain intent of Rep. Act No. 8974 to supersede the system of deposit under Rule 67 with the scheme of “immediate payment” in cases involving national government infrastructure project.

xxx

Rep. Act No. 8974 is plainly clear in imposing the requirement of immediate prepayment, and no amount of statutory deconstruction can evade such requisite.  It enshrines a new approach towards eminent domain that reconciles the inherent unease attending expropriation proceedings with a position of fundamental equity. While expropriation proceedings have always demanded just compensation in exchange for private property, the previous deposit requirement impeded immediate compensation to the private owner, especially in cases wherein the determination of the final amount of compensation would prove highly disputed.  Under the new modality prescribed by Rep. Act No. 8974, the private owner sees immediate monetary recompense, with the same degree of speed as the taking of his/her property.

[…]

Petitioner was supposed to tender the provisional payment directly to respondent during a hearing which it had failed to attend.  Petitioner, then, deposited the provisional payment with the court.  The trial court did not commit an error in accepting the deposit and in issuing the writ of possession.  The deposit of the provisional amount with the court is equivalent to payment.
Indeed, Section 4 of R.A. No. 8974 is emphatic to the effect that “upon compliance with the guidelines...the court shall immediately issue to the implementing agency an order to take possession of the property and start the implementation of the project.”  Under this statutory provision, when the government, its agencies or government-owned and controlled corporations, make the required provisional payment, the trial court has a ministerial duty to issue a writ of possession.  In Capitol Steel Corporation v. PHIVIDEC Industrial Authority, we held that:

Upon compliance with the requirements, a petitioner in an expropriation case...is entitled to a writ of possession as a matter of right and it becomes the ministerial duty of the trial court to forthwith issue the writ of possession.  No hearing is required and the court neither exercises its discretion or judgment in determining the amount of the provisional value of the properties to be expropriated as the legislature has fixed the amount under Section 4 of R.A. No. 8974.
It is mandatory on the trial court's part to issue the writ of possession and on the sheriff's part to deliver possession of respondent's property to petitioner pursuant to the writ.
20.The subject property’s current zonal value9 is pegged by the BIR Revenue District Office (RDO) No. 1, Laoag City at Thrity (Php 30.00) per sq. m.
21.  In accordance with Section 9, Rule 67 of the 1997 Rules of Civil Procedure, plaintiff will deposit with the Honorable Court the amount of  PHP 1,380.00 ‑ equivalent to one hundred percent (100%) of the subject portion’s value based on the current relevant zonal valuation – for the benefit of the person entitled thereto as may be adjudged by the Honorable Court in the same proceeding.
22. Upon compliance with the requirements, particularly upon the deposit of the payment with the Honorable Court, plaintiff is entitled to the issuance of a writ of possession as a matter of right.

PRAYER
WHEREFORE, premises considered, it is respectfully prayed that the Honorable Court shall:
       i.            ALLOW summons on private defendant to be served by publication in a newspaper of general circulation and in such places and for such time as the Honorable Court may order in accordance with Section 14, Rule 14 of the 1997 Rules of Civil Procedure.
     ii.            Upon deposit with the Honorable Court the payment in an amount equivalent to one hundred percent (100%) of the subject portion’s value based on its current relevant zonal valuation, ISSUE a writ of possession authorizing plaintiff to take immediate possession, control, and disposition thereof.
  iii.            After due notice and hearing, ISSUE an order of expropriation be issued declaring that plaintiff has a lawful and exclusive right to occupy, possess, use and enjoy the subject portion for the public purpose described above, upon payment of just compensation.
   iv.            Upon issuance of an order of expropriation, APPOINT three (3) competent and disinterested persons as commissioners to ascertain and report to the Honorable Court the just compensation to be paid for the subject portion; and
     v.            After judgment of expropriation has been rendered, DIRECT public defendant to register the order of expropriation upon presentment and annotate a memorandum thereof on the pertinent tax declaration as a lien or encumbrance.
       
Such further or other forms of relief as may be deemd just and equitable under the premises are likewise prayed for.
