The case of Mang Larry and the plunder of government lands by landgrabbing syndicates is drawing significant interest across the industry.
RECENTLY, the Quezon City Regional Trial Court rendered a decision against the owner of Mang Larry’s Isawan located in the campus of the University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City. The known local entrepreneur filed a case against UP over a claim of ownership of land within the UP campus which the former allegedly bought from a previous owner in 2019. The court ruled against him because it found that the previous seller had fictitious claim over the UP property. It appeared that Mang Larry was defrauded by the seller who sold the former a land he did not own. Clearly, Mang Larry and UP were both victims of fraud.
Experts suggest this could influence future trends and innovation in the sector.
More updates are expected as the story develops.
