From the Philippine News Agency (Feb 10): Domogan orders city police to verify reports CPLA members occupy disputed lots

Baguio City mayor Mauricio Domogan ordered the Baguio City police to verify reports that alleged members of the Cordillera People’s Liberation Army (CPLA) are in some of the disputed lots in the city.

Residents in a nearby barangay and some city officials reported seeing the CPLA men setting up camp on vacant lots in the area brandishing high-powered arms.

They said the development is disturbing and should be checked at once.

The mayor asked city police director Jesus Cambay Jr. to coordinate with Cordillera PNP regional director Isagani Nerez and with the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP) to look into the report.

The mayor also asked the city's anti-squatting team to check on developments about the ejectment case at the Baguio Dairy Farm which the court granted but could not implement pending the issuance of a writ of execution.

The mayor committed to the Department of Agriculture (DA) the city’s assistance in the demolition of the structures in the area.
