The Department of Transportation (DOTr) and conglomerate San Miguel Corp. (SMC) took control of a property in Quezon City to be used for the Metro Rail Transit (MRT) 7 train depot—removing a key obstacle as they aim for partial operations by 2021.
The DOTr said on Wednesday that work on the 20-hectare depot, where unused trains were parked or were being repaired, started on Nov. 26 after they obtained favorable writs of possession issued by the Quezon City Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 92 and 98.
The development, which also made use of Republic Act No. 10752, or the Right of Way Act, ensures continued progress for the MRT 7, a 23-kilometer line that will link San Jose del Monte in Bulacan and North Avenue in Quezon City.
Once finished by 2022, MRT 7 will cut travel time from Manila to Bulacan from two hours to 34 minutes.
MRT 7 will also connect to the DOTr’s massive Quezon City common station project, a transport gateway that will also house stations for the MRT 3, Light Rail Transit Line 1 and eventually the Metro Manila subway, when it opens in 2021.
“The start of depot works signifies much more than a dot in the timeline of the project. It shows us that when the judiciary work hand in hand with the executive department, we are able to pick up speed in delivering infrastructure development to the Filipino people,” Transportation Secretary Arthur Tugade said in a statement on Wednesday.
The P63-billion MRT 7 is expected to serve 300,000 to 850,000 passengers a day. The DOTr said it was close to 50-percent finished as of October this year.
Earlier, the DOTr and SMC Mass Rail Transit 7 (SMRT7) identified the new depot site along Quirino Highway in Barangay Lagro, Quezon City. This was chosen for its location, cost and operational reliability.
The depot site was approved by Tugade on June 29 and the DOTr offered to buy the property from lot owners at the current market value, which was appraised by a Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas-accredited independent property appraiser.
The main landowner was Century Communities Corp., part of the Antonio family’s Century Properties Group Inc.
According to documents provided to the Inquirer, the site was formerly owned by Century Communities Corp., a real estate developer, which was offered a compensation offer of P394 million based on the appraised value of P3,600 per square meter.
The department said delays cropped up after the property owners refused its offer.
The DOTr and SMRT7, in coordination with the Office of the Solicitor General (OSG), filed an expropriation case on Nov. 15.
The writs of possession were issued in favor of the DOTr and SMRT7 on Nov. 22 and Nov. 25.
A writ of possession is a writ of execution employed to enforce a judgment to recover the possession of land. It commands the sheriff to enter the land and give its possession to the party entitled under the judgment.
The courts’ rulings ended the DOTr’s two-year struggle to acquire a depot site for MRT 7. The department and SMRT7 earlier attempted to secure a 33-ha lot in San Jose del Monte for the depot, but failed after a Malolos RTC effectively raised the zonal valuation there by nearly 900 percent. SMC held the MRT 7 groundbreaking ceremony in April 2016. –With a report from Krixia Subingsubing

Courts clear the way for MRT 7 depot
Two Quezon City regional trial courts have issued the Department of Transportation (DOTr) and its concessionaire, SMC Mass Rail Transit 7 Inc. (SMRT7), writs of possession to allow them to formally begin construction work for the MRT 7 depot in Quezon City.
Apart from the issuance of the writs, the department said it has formally begun construction in the 20-hectare depot site along Quirino Highway in Barangay Lagro on Tuesday.
According to documents provided to the Inquirer, the site was previously owned by real estate developer Century Communities Corp., which offered to sell the property at P394 million based on the appraised value of P3,600 per square meter.
The writs of possession, issued by Branch 92 and 98 in Nov. 22 and 25, respectively, stemmed from the expropriation cases filed by the department and SMRT7 via the Office of the Solicitor General.
A writ of possession is a writ of execution commanding the court sheriff to enter the land and hand over its possession to the party—in this case, the government—entitled under the judgment.
The court rulings also end the DOTr’s two-year struggle to acquire a depot site for the much-delayed MRT 7, which would connect Bulacan to Quezon City in under 34 minutes.
The department and SMC-MRT7 earlier attempted to secure a 33-ha lot in San Jose del Monte for the depot, but failed after a Malolos court effectively raised the zonal valuation there by nearly 900 percent.
In a statement, Transportation Secretary Arthur Tugade said construction work for the much-delayed depot “signifies much more than a dot in the timeline of the project… It shows us that when the judiciary works hand in hand with the executive department, we are able to pick up speed in delivering infrastructure development.”
The 23-km MRT 7 railway is currently 49 percent complete and is scheduled to begin partial operations in 2021. Once operational, it is expected to ferry between 300,000 to 850,000 passengers per day.

MRT-7 clears key hurdle
THE METRO RAIL TRANSIT (MRT) Line 7 — a flagship project of the government — has overcome a major right-of-way obstacle that had forced its proponent, San Miguel Corp.’s railway unit, to defer completion date by two years to 2022, when President Rodrigo R. Duterte ends his six-year term.
In a statement on Wednesday, the Department of Transportation (DoTr) said two Quezon City courts issued orders for the government to take possession of a site eyed for the project’s planned depot in along Quirino Highway in Barangay Lagro, Quezon City, “which was found optimal for right-of-way implementability, asset constructibility, capital expenditure and operational expense efficiency, and operational reliability and maintainability.”
DoTr said it had offered to buy the targeted Quezon City depot site from owners led by “a major real estate development company at current market value, as appraised by a Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas-accredited independent property appraiser”.
The property owners refused DoTr’s offer, forcing the department and San Miguel unit SMC Mass Rail Transit 7, Inc. (SMRT7) — which is undertaking the project — through the Office of the Solicitor General to file expropriation cases just last Nov. 15.
DoTR said Transport Secretary Arthur P. Tugade approved the new depot site last June 29.
It replaces the original depot site in San Jose del Monte city, Bulacan which remains subject to a legal case after the property owner questioned the expropriation at the Malolos Regional Trial Court Branch 11. The government had challenged at the Court of Appeals a higher valuation for acquisition of the site from its owner that was mandated by Malolos Regional Trial Court Branch 11 in February last year, compared to what it argued is allowed by law. SMRT7, which is undertaking the project, said that valuation discrepancy would increase its required deposit for the project nearly ninefold to P598.905 million from P67.105 million.
The case in Bulacan has prompted San Miguel to move the project’s completion date to 2022 from 2020 originally, with the “first portion” — the stretch between the North EDSA common station for MRT-7, Light Rail Transit (LRT) 1, MRT-3 and the planned Metro Manila Subway and a station in Fairview — scheduled to open in 2021.
Transport Assistant Secretary Goddes Hope Oliveros-Libiran said the Quezon City site for the planned 20-hectare depot replaces the one in Bulacan.
“Wala na ‘yung sa Bulacan. Na-stall ‘yun. May pending case ‘yun nasa Court of Appeals. Hindi kami puwedeng magsalita on the case (Forget the site in Bulacan. That plan is stalled. There is a pending case at the Court of Appeals. We cannot talk about that case),” Ms. Libiran said in a telephone interview on Thursday.
Asked if the department still wants the site in Bulacan, Ms. Libiran replied: “Hindi na. Wala, kapag aantayin mo ‘yun it will take you forever. (No we will no longer pursue it. If you want for that case to be resolved, it will take you forever.)”
She acknowledged other pending right-of-way issues, but described them as “only minor” ones. “Ang alam ko meron pa, pero mga minor na lang mga ‘yun. Ang pinakamalaki kasi ang depot. (As far as I know, there are other right-of-way issues, but they are only minor ones. The biggest problem was the depot).”
DoTR said in its statement on Wednesday that “[w]ork on the depot formally started yesterday, 26 November 2019… after writs of possession issued by the Quezon City Regional Trial Court Branch 92 and 98 in favor of the Department of Transportation and its concessionaire, SMC Mass Rail Transit 7, Inc., were successfully enforced by sheriffs of the two courts”, adding that the Quezon City courts issued the writs on Nov. 22 and 25 after “nearly two years” of court hearings on the matter.
San Miguel shares gained 0.63% to P160 apiece at closing on Wednesday, riding a general rise at the Philippine Stock Exchange. It was trading down 0.13% at P159.10 apiece as of 11:36 a.m. Thursday.
In a mobile phone message on Wednesday, Ms. Libiran said that the courts’ decision removes the “major stumbling block” to the project.
“This development will allow us to finally start works at the depot. The depot is an integral part of any rail station, so now that the location has finally been settled, we are confident that the project construction will now push through without major stumbling blocks,” Ms. Oliveros-Libiran said in her earlier reply.
DoTR’s statement quoted Transport Secretary Arthur P. Tugade as saying: “The start of depot works signifies much more than a dot in the timeline of the project. It shows us that when the judiciary work hand in hand with the executive department, we are able to pick up speed in delivering infrastructure development to the Filipino people.”
The P62.7-billion MRT-7 project — which will run between North Avenue in Quezon City and San Jose del Monte city, Bulacan — has three components, namely: a 23-kilometer rail transit system with 13 stations; a six-lane highway between North Luzon Expressway and a planned Intermodal Transportation Terminal (ITT); and the ITT itself that can accommodate 200 buses at a time. Travel from one end to the other is estimated to take 34 minutes.
The Public-Private Partnership Center said on its Web site that the road component of the project will “divert northern provincial bus operations to San Jose Del Monte, thereby decongesting EDSA.”
Once operational, the MRT-7 is expected to accommodate an estimated 300,000-850,000 passengers a day, the DoTr said on Wednesday. The project was 49.15% complete as of October, DoTr said on Wednesday. — A. L. Balinbin

SMC, DOTr allowed to take over Quezon City property for MRT-7
Issues involving the acquisition of a property needed for the development of the Metro Rail Transit Line 7 (MRT-7) have been resolved in favor of the Department of Transportation (DOTr) and conglomerate San Miguel Corp., increasing the project’s chances of commencing partial operations by 2021.
The Department of Transportation (DOTr) said works on the MRT-7’s 20-hectare depot formally started on Tuesday after nearly two years of court hearings and appeals to obtain the site.
The agency said writs of possession issued by the Quezon City Regional Trial Court Branch 92 and 98 in favor of the DOTr and its concessionaire, SMC Mass Rail Transit 7 Inc. (SMRT7) of San Miguel, were successfully enforced by sheriffs of the two courts.
The writs of possession in favor of the DOTr and SMRT7 were issued by the QC RTC Branches 92 and 98 on Nov. 22 and Nov. 25, respectively.
A writ of possession is a writ of execution employed to enforce a judgment to recover the possession of land, commanding the sheriff to enter the land and give its possession to the party entitled under the judgment.
The property owners previously refused the DOTr’s current market value offer, forcing the agency and SMRT7, in coordination with the Office of the Solicitor General, to file expropriation cases last Nov. 15.
Pursuant to Republic Act 10752 or the new Right-of-Way Act, the DOTr said it offered to buy the depot site from its owners at current market value, as appraised by a Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas-accredited independent property appraiser.

Tugade approved the depot site during his inspection last June.
The MRT-7 is a 23-kilometer railway with 13 stations that will connect San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan with North Avenue in Quezon City in about 34 minutes.
Once operational, the line is expected to ferry between 300,000 and 850,000 passengers per day, with room for capacity expansion to accommodate future increases in ridership.
It will be connected to LRT-1, MRT-3, and the Metro Manila Subway at the Common Station in North Avenue.
The DOTr said the MRT-7 project is 49 percent complete as of end-October and is scheduled to begin its partial operations running from the North EDSA common station to Fairview in 2021.

MRT-7 expected to begin partial operations by ‘21
The Department of Transportation said Wednesday it expects Metro Rail Transit Line 7 to start partial operations by 2021.
The agency said in a statement the MRT Line 7 project, which runs 22 kilometers from North Ave. in Quezon City to San Jose del Monte City, Bulacan, was 49.15-percent into completion as of October 2019.
It said MRT-7’s 20-hectare depot started to take shape after the writs of possession issued by Quezon City Regional Trial Court Branch 92 and 98 in favor of DOTr and concessionaire SMC Mass Rail Transit 7 Inc. were successfully enforced by sheriffs of the two courts. Works on the depot formally started on Nov. 26.
The DOTr and SMRT7 identified the new depot site along Quirino Highway in Barangay Lagro, Quezon City, which was found optimal for right-of-way implementability, asset constructibility, capital expenditure and operational expense efficiency and operational reliability and maintainability.

Pursuant to Republic Act No. 10752 or the new Right-of-Way Act, the DOTr offered to buy the depot site from a major real estate development company at current market value, as appraised by an independent property appraiser accredited by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas.
The property owners refused the DOTr’s current market value offer, forcing the DOTr and SMRT7, in coordination with the Office of the Solicitor General, to file expropriation cases on Nov. 15. The QC RTC Branches 92 and 98 issued writs of possession in favor of the DOTr and SMRT7 on Nov. 22 and Nov. 25, respectively.
A writ of possession is a writ of execution employed to enforce a judgment to recover the possession of land. It commands the sheriff to enter the land and give its possession to the party entitled under the judgment.
The P69.3-billion MRT 7 project, which will have 14 stations, is being built by SMC Mass Rail Transit 7 Inc. under SMC’s infrastructure subsidiary San Miguel Holdings Inc.
San Miguel tapped Hyundai Rotem and EEI consortium to build the railway line which will have stations at North Ave., Quezon Memorial Circle, University Avenue, Tandang Sora, Don Antonio, Batasan, Manggahan, Doña Carmen, Regalado, Mindanao Avenue, Quirino, Sacred Heart, Tala and San Jose del Monte.
Once completed by 2021, the 22-kilometer rail line will reduce travel time between Quezon City and San Jose del Monte City from two to three hours to only 35 minutes.
