At A Glance
- Residents of EMBO barangays can now access the government facilities
The Taguig City government opened government facilities in EMBO (enlisted men’s barrio) barangays after getting a temporary restraining order (TRO) from a court.
Last May 5, Executive Judge Loralie Cruz Datahan of the Taguig Regional Trial Court issued the TRO for Makati to cease obstructing the Taguig City government from accessing and possessing government facilities in EMBO barangays.
The Supreme Court issued a ruling in 2023 transferring 10 EMBO barangays under Makati to Taguig. These are Cembo, Comembo, Pembo, East Rembo, West Rembo, South Cembo, Pitogo, Post Proper Northside, Post Proper Southside and Rizal.
Following the order, the Taguig City government opened health centers and basketball courts in EMBO barangays. These facilities were built when EMBO barangays were still under Makati.
“Sa wakas! Natapos na din ang dalawang taon na kailangan pa kayong i-shuttle sa pinakamalapit na Taguig operated health center. Matatapos na din ang mga medical missions na kinailangan nating gawin sa kalsada at tiisin ang tindi ng init at ulan (Finally! The two years of having to shuttle you to the nearest Taguig operated health center are over. The medical missions that we had to do on the road and endure the intense heat and rain will also be over),” Taguig Mayor Lani commented on Facebook.
