Legal question

[bratski]

Ill just make this long story short, last tues may bumuhos ng thinner sa everest ko and I believe yung mga tambay sa amin ang gumawa, they were painting their court at that time, which happens to be na tapat ng garage namin.tuklap pintura sa fender, bumper and part of the hood.Sad to say walang aamin sa ganong incident and wala ring gusto magturo. Pinatawag ko yung barangay chairman and had the court removed para hindi na maka perwisyo mga tambay dun. Matagal ko narin kasi gusto ipatanggal yan dahil perwisyo talaga, not to mention delikado rin dahil mga nanonood ng basketball nakatambay sa gate namin. kanina lang nag sign sila ng petition with the endorsement of the sk chairman naman to put the court back. Kung hindi daw aaksyunan ng barangay chairman(who gave his word to me) ay iaakyat nila sa higher ewan.wala kasing ibang homeowner stupid enough to let them transfer their court to.Does installing a basketball court in the middle of a street legal ba?or i can contest this?

[papao]

diba dati pa pinagbawal un mga basketball court sa daan..pero dto samin un isang basketball court asa main road pa nakalagay, di naman inaalis kasi pinagkakaitaan ng baranggay

[ARB]

lapit na election, I think babalik ang court, marami silang voters.

But yes dapat walang basketball court sa daan. Pag nagtayo ulit basketball court, shoot the ball with your gun tignan natin kung may lalaro pa.

that would be a nice proposition, kung hindi lang kasalanan pumatay hehehe. the nerve of those people. to think sila na naka perwisyo sila pa matapang. ang road kasi namin dead end sa dulo and puro squatters dun sa dead end, yung mga naglalaro ng basketball taga dun and minsan may mga dayo. dun ko nga pinapalagay sa dulo sa may dead end kaso umaaangal naman homeowner dun. matagal na kasi itong court dito may 10 years narin siguro. our safety is always compromised kasi sa dami ng tambay na nanonood at naglalaro sa gate pa namin naka kumpol. marami rin may galit sa akin kasi madalas din matamaan sasakyan ko ng bola and I always say a piece of my mind. tuwing papasok ako sa garage ako pa lumalabas na istorbo

[OTEP]

Diba covered din ng MMDA iyan?

Bwisit nga iyang court sa daan. Sa Sampaloc ang dami niyan. Eh may friend ako sa area (sa Fajardo St. malapit sa Maceda bandang Balic balic ata ito), after school dumadaan ako sa kanila. Pinilit namin pagkasyahin sa 1 car garage yung dalawang sasakyan namin para maging safe dun sa mga taong ginagawang playground ang kalye.

Ang malala pa, nung nagpa-liga, sinara yung kalye! Walangya, sarili niyang garahe hindi niya maparadahan. Hayop talaga.

[bratski]

sir otep,
sampaloc area ako hehehe. ganun nga talaga, pag may liga hintayin mo muna may mag time out bago ka makapasok sa garage mo. yung binuhos nga na thinner it happened in a matter of a few minutes lang. nilabas kasi ng driver yung everest ko sa garage kasi nasa bungad and may gagamitin na kotse sa harapan. pagkaatras naman niya inilabas din yung isang car agad at nung ipapark na uli sasakyan ko may tama na. palagi naman nangyayari itong paglabas pasok ng sasakyan kasi one lane lang garage namin pero 3 cars sa loob. nung last tues lang natsambahan kasi nagpipintura sila ng court at that time, marami rin naman ibang cars naka park that time pero sa akin lang tinira baka resbak siguro. Ngayon may reason nako patanggal yang court kaso pilit nilang binabalik. naiipit din chairman syempre election na at baka maapektohan boto niya. taga squatters din pala yung chairman

[kiper]

AFAIK at sabi ng batas, ang kalsada ay para sa sasakyan katulad ng sidewalk na para sa mga tao. Kahit ung mga birthday, kasalan, debut at lamay ng patay na ginagawa sa kalsada or kalahating side ng kalsada ay bawal.

Eto news about it..

MMDA to remove basketball
courts on roads of Metro
Posted: 9:54 PM (Manila Time) | Aug. 14, 2003

Inquirer News Service

THE NATION'S most beloved sport has no place in Metro Manila streets.

Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Chair Bayani Fernando said Thursday that he has instructed MMDA personnel to remove basketball courts constructed on roads and sidewalks.

"The roads were not intended to be playgrounds," Fernando said in a phone interview. "They were meant to be used by motorists, not basketball players."

He said that it was not right to close the roads just to accommodate people who want to play basketball.

He explained that when traffic builds up on main thoroughfares, motorists are left with few or no alternative routes because obstructions, like basketball courts, have been put up in the middle of streets.

The MMDA chair added that he would have the "hardheaded ones" arrested and jailed if they would persist on taking over the streets.

Fernando said that sport enthusiasts should find more appropriate places to play basketball, like gyms or designated covered courts.

"If they really want to play basketball and still insist on doing it on the roads and sidewalks, I'm now telling them that it's time to look for another sport," he warned.

eto naman sa DPWH..

DPWH REMOVES ROAD ENCROACHMENTS

Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Hermogenes E. Ebdane, Jr. directed the periodic checking of national roads to prevent encroachment or illegal obstructions. Ebdane said that all DPWH Regional and District Engineering Offices are ordered to monitor respective jurisdictions against obstruction in highways including bridges, culverts and drainage canals. Earlier, President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo jointly tasked the DPWH and Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) to facilitate removal of obstruction more particularly along waterways. Obstruction along esteros and waterways which includes presence of informal dwellers or squatters including underneath bridges contribute to the flooding problem particularly in the Metropolis. Illegally constructed structure within the road right-of-way of national roads not only constraint and cause traffic congestion but also pose grave danger to the traveling public. Ebdane said that it is imperative that provision of the law on prohibiting encroachments/usurpations of any portion of right-of-way be strictly implemented and enforced. We have to prevent conversion of public highway and infrastructure for own private use, Ebdane added. The DPWH Chief said that written notice will be given to the owner of illegal structure for them to remove or demolish. Corresponding complaints will be filed on the court to persons who fail or refuse to vacate or demolish illegally constructed structures.

Patanggal mo na yan! HTH

[swimstroke]

Buhay nga naman.

Kapag napatanggal mo na, mahirap din kasi baka lalo kang mapagtripan. Hindi natin alam kung paano tumakbo ang isip ng mga iyan, baka sa susunod mas malala pa sa paint thinner ang gawin.

Anyway, it's your call. Goodluck. :D

[oldblue]

i think kailangan din ng permits sa local govt. kung magtatayo ng court sa daan. hindi lang sa barangay, unless private subdivision iyan inyo.

so hanapan nyo ng permit sa city hall kung may papakita

[claRkEnt]

that would be a nice proposition, kung hindi lang kasalanan pumatay hehehe. the nerve of those people. to think sila na naka perwisyo sila pa matapang. ang road kasi namin dead end sa dulo and puro squatters dun sa dead end, yung mga naglalaro ng basketball taga dun and minsan may mga dayo. dun ko nga pinapalagay sa dulo sa may dead end kaso umaaangal naman homeowner dun. matagal na kasi itong court dito may 10 years narin siguro. our safety is always compromised kasi sa dami ng tambay na nanonood at naglalaro sa gate pa namin naka kumpol. marami rin may galit sa akin kasi madalas din matamaan sasakyan ko ng bola and I always say a piece of my mind. tuwing papasok ako sa garage ako pa lumalabas na istorbo

squatter!!! ito ang mabigat!!! risk is very high on your part!

[Flagg]

Magmadali kang maghanap nalang ng ibang paglagyan ng court sir bratski.

Kahit nasa tama ka, remember, this is the Philippines... kung nag-iisa ka lang, ikaw ang kawawa.

Mahirap kaawayin mga neighbors mo. Kawawa ang bahay & tsikots mo. Baka pati kayong magpamilya kawawa, kung may talagang sira dyan.

Kung wala kang kakamping grupo ng mga homeowners dyan who are willing to watch out for each other, then, you must accept an accomodation with the barbarians.

Ganun talaga ang buhay sir...

Console mo nalang sarili mo na ikaw may Everest, sila, illegal basketball court...

[HIFI]

You can't do it alone. Kailangan mo ng maraming kakampi. Get your other neighbors involved.

Sa mga ganyan, it's a numbers game. Pag mas marami against sa basketball court. Kakampi sa iyo ang barangay chairman.

Majority wins yan, not necessarily kung ano ang tama....my 2 centavos.

[bratski]

actually kakampi ko yung bgy chairman, sunod sunuran yun sa father in law( na nakatira 2 houses away from us). Problem is madaling mabola byenan ko lalu na mga paawa effect ng mga taga squatters.
regarding sa neighbors, wala namang nagrereklamo except us and yung sa tapat namin na mismo tinayuan ng court sa gate nila.siguro aaksyon lang mga ibang neighbors kung dun ko pinalipat sa tapat nila o mismo harapan nila which i doubt na papayag sila hehehe. kakaunti lang may cars dito sa neighborhood namin, most of them ay mga jeepneys and owners pa.at yung mga anak nila ay naglalaro din ng basketball dun sa court kaya malabo makahanap ng kakampi.
Yung ring napatanggal ko na the day after malagyan ng thinner kotse ko. pero yung stand andun pa. baka mamya bigla nalang maibalik yung ring, baka nagpapalamig lang siguro pag nakalimutan na tuloy ang ligaya nila.
Mahirap nga situation namin dahil squatters ang kalaban ko, pati ibang kapitbahay ko mala squatter din ugali. I was just thankful na at least kotse ko nadisgrasya and not my loved ones, yung anak ko madalas pa naman maglakad sa kalsada papunta sa lolo niya

[rilkeanvein]

Maganda ngang magreklamo sa mga authorities. Pero minsan, maiisip mo na nde nmn matatapos yung gulo after matanggal yung court.

Since squatter yang mga yan at i would assume na imposibleng walang adik jan, gaganti p yan.

Yang mga yan pa nmn, wala nang paki sa buhay nila kasi patapon na.

[bratski]

yun din nga problema ko, mahirap kalaban mga squatters kasi patapon na buhay. If the problem gets worse, i guess lipat bahay na only option namin. Problema pa nga nito I dont know my enemy or enemies dahil masaling mo lang isa sa kanila parang buong barangay na kaaway mo. Minsan pumapasok sa isipan ko na maghagis ng grenade sa mga shanties nila.haaay. wait and see nalang muna ako.

[praetorian]

Sorry for being legalistic, but I was intrigued by your query. Below is the exact provision of the Civil Code which you can quote to the baranggay captain if he allows the return of the offending basketball court.

"Title VIII. - NUISANCE (n)

Art. 694. A nuisance is any act, omission, establishment, business, condition of property, or anything else which:
(1) Injures or endangers the health or safety of others; or
(2) Annoys or offends the senses; or

(3) Shocks, defies or disregards decency or morality; or

(4) Obstructs or interferes with the free passage of any public highway or street, or any body of water; or

(5) Hinders or impairs the use of property.

Art. 695. Nuisance is either public or private. A public nuisance affects a community or neighborhood or any considerable number of persons, although the extent of the annoyance, danger or damage upon individuals may be unequal. A private nuisance is one that is not included in the foregoing definition.
Art. 696. Every successive owner or possessor of property who fails or refuses to abate a nuisance in that property started by a former owner or possessor is liable therefor in the same manner as the one who created it.

Art. 697. The abatement of a nuisance does not preclude the right of any person injured to recover damages for its past existence.

Art. 698. Lapse of time cannot legalize any nuisance, whether public or private.

Art. 699. The remedies against a public nuisance are:

(1) A prosecution under the Penal Code or any local ordinance: or
(2) A civil action; or

(3) Abatement, without judicial proceedings.

Art. 700. The district health officer shall take care that one or all of the remedies against a public nuisance are availed of.
Art. 701. If a civil action is brought by reason of the maintenance of a public nuisance, such action shall be commenced by the city or municipal mayor.

Art. 702. The district health officer shall determine whether or not abatement, without judicial proceedings, is the best remedy against a public nuisance.

Art. 703. A private person may file an action on account of a public nuisance, if it is specially injurious to himself.

Art. 704. Any private person may abate a public nuisance which is specially injurious to him by removing, or if necessary, by destroying the thing which constitutes the same, without committing a breach of the peace, or doing unnecessary injury. But it is necessary:

(1) That demand be first made upon the owner or possessor of the property to abate the nuisance;
(2) That such demand has been rejected;

(3) That the abatement be approved by the district health officer and executed with the assistance of the local police; and

(4) That the value of the destruction does not exceed three thousand pesos.

Art. 705. The remedies against a private nuisance are:
(1) A civil action; or
(2) Abatement, without judicial proceedings.

Art. 706. Any person injured by a private nuisance may abate it by removing, or if necessary, by destroying the thing which constitutes the nuisance, without committing a breach of the peace or doing unnecessary injury. However, it is indispensable that the procedure for extrajudicial abatement of a public nuisance by a private person be followed.
Art. 707. A private person or a public official extrajudicially abating a nuisance shall be liable for damages:

(1) If he causes unnecessary injury; or
(2) If an alleged nuisance is later declared by the courts to be not a real nuisance."

As with many local politicians (or should I say hypocrites?), kakampi mo lang yan pag kaharap mo, o pag may kailangan siya sa iyo. They will leave you to rot, whenever they feel the heat.

Good luck sa problem mo. If you can't beat them, you can join them na lang. Puede rin mag "donate" ka ng court, with the condition na mag-ingat sila. Friendly gesture, with pa konsenya effect.

SAKTO! heheheh.

[the_wildthing]

Bossing, pag kinalaban mo yan ihanda mo ang sarili mo na hanggang sa huli. Kasi oo, totoong nasa panig ka ng batas, ngunit emosyon ang gagamitin ng mga yan, kesyo mayaman ka at mahirap lang sila, at inaapi mo sila, etc. etc.

Tapos guguluhin pa ang bahay mo at pamilya mo. Mag lagay ka na ng camera at turuan lahat ng kasambahay na maging alerto. Make extra effort to protect yourself.
