THE Cebu City demolition team demolished part of a resto bar that intruded on a government lot.
But Alejandro Yap, owner of Alejandro’s Filipino Resto, said he was surprised with the action of personnel of the Cebu City Squatters Prevention, Elimination and Encroachment Division (SPEED) yesterday, who failed to show a court order for the demolition.
Lawyer Glen Villariza, counsel of Yap, said his client wasn’t notified about the demolition nor was he shown ny court order.
“The owner was shocked because his property was suddenly destroyed,” Villariza said.
He said it would up to Yap to file charges against SPEED.
Yap’s property, which is located behind Cebu Doctors’ Hospital, encroached about two meters of a government lot.
Villariza yesterday sent a letter to SPEED chief Noel Artes about the demolition.
Artes has yet to send his response. Reporter Ador Vincent S. Mayol
