BAGUIO CITY – The City Government last week petitioned the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP) to issue Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) and injunctive writ barring conveyance of lands covered by overlapping land titles in Wright Park.
It likewise asked NCIP to recall its resolutions awarding Certificate of Ancestral Land Titles (CALT) to heirs of Josephine Abanag, which lands are already covered by titles in the name of the Baguio City and the Republic, praying said CALTs be cancelled. In an 8-page petition, the city government represented by mayor Mauricio Domogan claimed CALT Nos. CAR BAG-1110-000276 to 1110-000303 and Original Certificate of Title (OCT) CALT-130 were fraudulently acquired by the respondent heirs.

In an overwhelming vote of 10-votes out of 14 during the council's July 11 session, dads placated fears expressed by local religious groups that the local government has changed stands vis-à-vis operation of PCSO-led gaming in the city. The vote was over a proposed resolution authored by Coun. Edison Bilog, bolstering the city's anti-legal gambling position expressed in earlier resolutions numbered 122-2002 and 446-2008 – the anti-casino measures.
