Good morning po. Welcome back po sa ating Lecture Room.

Ngayong araw na ito, pag-uusapan po natin ang katanungan

ng isa sa ating mga subscribers dito po sa ating question and answer portion.

And today is December 23, 2023. Two days before Christmas.

And ang katanungan na ito ay galing po kay Waswaw.

At ang katanungan po niya is about sa Tolfi.

Sabi po niya, hello po attorney, may tanong po ako.

May part po kasi sa public highway namin na private property po.

Ngayon po, nagingi po sila ng Tolfi sa bawat sasakyan na dumadaan.

Di pa daw kasi nakapull payment ang government sa may-ari.

Pero naging public road na po ito siya matagal na.

Sa ganyang sitwasyon po ba, may karapatan po ba ang may-ari na mangingi ng Tolfi?

Maraming pong salamat sa katanungan mo, Waswaw.

At ang sagot po niyan is that,

hindi po, wala po siyang karapatan.

Now, since it was taken by the government for public use,

through the power of eminent domain,

alam mo, pagkukuha po ng property ang government ng private property,

ang tatawag po niya ang eminent domain,

babayaran po ng government yan ng just compensation.

And it must always be for public use.

So, sabi mo nga ninyo, public road,

eh, kinuha siya ng government para daanan ng tao.

Like this one sa ating mga pictures, no?

Kung tayo ditong tunnel, dito sa Davao City,

itong bypass roads dito.

Well, under the build-build-build program of the government,

para magkaroon ng maraming structures,

marami pong nasagasaan na mga private property.

And, therefore, kinuha po ng government ito for public use.

Now, as you said in your question,

is that, nabayaran na siya ng konti ng government, no?

Hindi pa daw naka-full payment.

Ibig sabihin, there was already a consummated sale contract

between the government,

and the private owner of that private property, no?

So, ibig sabihin, in that particular instance,

malamang 50% under the Road Right-of-Way Act.

Sa Right-of-Way Act is nakatanggap na siya.

Hindi na siya nakabayad pa ang government.

Here, it's probably DPWH,

it's a national government project.

Hindi pa siya nabayaran.

Baka may kulang, no?

Baka may kulang ng mga requirements na hindi niya nasubmit.

Kaya hindi siya nakapully paid.

Depende.

Sa sitwasyon.

However, wala po siyang right na mag-TOLPI po.

Because there is already a consummated contract.

Bawal na po.

May-ari na po.

Meron na po stake ang government dahil nakabayad na po, no?

So, it's between him and the government.

Huwag na po idamay yung mga ordinary pedestrian katulad ninyo

na dumadaan sa area.

Bawal po siya magsingil ng TOLPI.

Alright.

Alam mo, ano ba mga...

Pag-usapan naman natin ng TOLPI.

Ano ba mga...

Ano ba mga ways or situations na pwede magkaroon ng TOLPI?

Pwede ka mag-charge ng TOLPI sa private property mo?

Well, meron tayong mga...

Kung meron ka TOL Operation Certificate from the TOL Regulatory Board.

Yan.

Kung meron po noon yung may-ari,

eh pwede po siyang magsingil po ng TOLPI.

Now, under sa batas po natin, no?

Presidential Decree 1112, 1977 law.

Papanahon po ni President...

Former President Ferdinand Marcos

exercising both Executive and Legislative Powers,

ay meron po ito.

Itong tinatag po niya itong TOL Regulatory Board

and is still existing until now.

One of the powers or some of the powers of this, no?

Is to authority to operate a TOL facility.

Pwede po sila mag-grant ng authority to operate a TOL facility.

Ibig sabihin, bibigyan ka ng karapatan as a private person

na mag-operate ng TOL.

And, of course, mag-issue rin ng TOL Operation Certificate.

Now, this is a stand-amount to parang...

It's a concession.

It's a franchise, no?

It's a privilege, no?

In which case, itong TOL Operation Certificate,

hindi ito forever.

Meron itong expiry up to...

In fact, up to 30 years.

Pwede yan.

Ibibigay ng TOL Regulatory Board.

Marami po tayong mga TOL facilities, no?

Na may TOL Operation Certificates

like North and South Tucson TOL Expressway,

yung Naiya Express Project,

yung Tarlac Pangasinan La Union Expressway,

yung TPLX, no?

Marami po.

All over the Philippines.

And, ang TRB po.

Ang TOL Regulatory Board po

ang nag-i-issue nitong TOL Operation Certificate

at nag-grant ng authority to operate a TOL facility.

Ngayon, meron din pang isa dito sa isang batas, no?

Itong katawag nating Build Offer Transfer.

Under Republic Act 69-57

as amended by RA 77-18.

69-57, 1992, inak itong batas na ito.

And, under this Build Operate Transfer,

simple lang po ang meaning po dito, no?

Sa Build Operation Transfer Law,

ito siyang legal framework na nag-approvide ng

Public-Private Partnership, PPP.

Yan ang isang sabi, no?

So, merong...

Partnership between the government and the private sector, no?

Private companies will finance, build, and operate projects

and a government ang magbigay ng concession.

Now, under the Build Operate Transfer Contract,

yung government, ito tayo.

Ang government natin grants a private company a concession

or parang franchise or privilege, concession privilege, no?

to build and operate a project for 20 to 30 years, no?

Pagkatapos itong 20 to 30 years,

na nabigay na period sa kanya,

lahat po ng mga nagawa niya doon,

yung project itself, equipment, facilities and everything,

is ibabalik po sa public entities, sa government natin.

But, within that period of 20 to 30 years, no?

Pwede po siyang humingi ng tiyatawag nating mga toll fee.

Ah, yan.

Meron po Build Operate Transfer.

Although, more ang Build Operate Transfer,

more on power company.

Yun sa mga...

yung mga other private sectors going to

hydropower plants, yan.

They do that with the government, no?

And, may instances din po

wherein pwede ka magtayo ng toll fee

sa mga railways or sa mga expressways

by way of joint venture, okay?

So, kung meron ganun,

maling pwede po magkaroon ng toll fee

yung may ari ng lupa.

Pero, based on your question,

eh, wala po eh, di ba?

Wala talaga.

Eh, bagay.

Hindi lang siya binayaran.

Kaya, naglagay siya.

Naniningil siya ngayon.

Hop, kadadaan.

Toll, toll.

Bayad ka ng toll fee.

Hindi pa ako pilipid.

Hindi po pwede yung ganun.

Okay?

So, bawal po yun.

So, with that,

eh, ano po ang pwede niyang gawin, no?

Because, as I said,

hindi nga siya pwede gumawa at mag...

ano, ng toll fee.

So, what can he do?

Well, the remedy that I could see here

would be only that

pwede po siya mag-file po ng kaso

for collection suit in court.

Yes.

Collection suit po.

Kasi,

ah, it's his contract

wherein hindi pa nakabayad

ang government.

So,

the remedy niya

is the unpaid seller.

Okay?

Under the civil code,

a remedy of unpaid seller

is to collect.

No?

Collect payment

or pwede rin

yung rescind niya.

Balik niya yung binabayad niya.

Pero, I would suggest collection suit

kasi,

appropriate na din, eh.

May pondo na yun sa government.

And,

the only way that the government do

is to pay, no?

Well, maybe because naman,

baka naman hindi siya nagbayad

bahil may mga reasons.

Bahil hindi complete on documents.

So,

that is the defense of the other party.

Now, take note,

you can hire a lawyer to do that.

Ang dami po mga,

in fact,

yesterday

was the outtaking of the new lawyers

for 2023.

Ang dami po, no?

Eh, marami po tayong lawyers

pwede masick, no?

To help you

in filing collection suit.

So, it would be

the private owner

versus,

in this case,

if it's a national government project,

it's a good thing.

It's a good thing.

It's a good thing.

It's a good thing.

It's a good thing.

It's a good thing.

versus the DPWH.

Of course,

the DPWH will be

represented by the solicitor general.

Depende rin sa kanilang defense

bakit di sila nagbayad.

Well,

hopefully,

you will be present proof

na kumpleto ng documents

mong ayaw ka bayaran.

In that case,

makakasingil ka.

At the same time,

you'll be liable also for damages

plus reimbursement of attorney's fees.

Pwede po yun.

Now,

hindi po just compensation

ang ipapile po.

Alam mo ba yung

just compensation?

Just compensation.

Just compensation.

Just compensation.

Just compensation.

Just compensation.

Yan po yung

ibig sabihin,

kinuha ng government,

hindi ka binayaran.

Totally.

So,

ang nangyari niyan

is basta kinuha lang.

Now,

take note that

in eminent domain,

there must first be

payment before they take.

Payment muna

bago taking.

Okay?

May instances na take,

wala ka pa nabayaran.

So,

just compensation po

ang if filed in court

to demand.

Kasi ang issue

as to the use,

public use,

yung property

na kinuha ng government,

settled din eh.

Datang magawa.

For public use,

public use,

daanan yan eh.

Pero ang bayad,

just compensation po.

In fact,

maraming sitwasyon.

Not only here sa

kaso ng mga

right of way,

even yung mga

unpaid landowners

na cover ng CARP,

Comprehensive Agreeing Reform Program,

well,

they can

file.

They did file

cases for just compensation

against DAR

and

they were paid.

Kasi,

kung kukunin nga

ng government

yung property,

private property,

there must be payment.

Just compensation lang.

Okay?

So,

take note of that.

So,

I hope I have

answered your question

was,

wow, okay.

Ganda na pangalan.

Was, wow, no?

So,

I hope I answered

your question

and

bawal po

ang tolpi.

And,

guys,

I will do live

siguro probably tomorrow.

24.

If you're gonna attend,

I will be

open tomorrow

for a live session

in the afternoon.

Alright.

So,

I'll see you then.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Muchos gracias.

Sukran.

Maraming salamat po.

Have a nice day.
