HON. FLORENCIA ARCILLAS

Punong Barangay
Upper Calarian, Zamboanga City

Dear Hon. Arcillas,

Greetings of peace!

This is in pursuant to the order of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte,

thru the Department of the Interior and Local Government which
issued Memorandum Circular 121-2019, issued on July 29, 2019
relative to the clearing of illegal structures obstructing roads,
highways and sidewalks.

In the above-mentioned DILG Memorandum Circular, local

government units are given a period of SIXTY DAYS (60 days) to
comply. However, as of today, informal settlers are still occupying
sidewalks, particularly at Upper Calarian along the National Highway
going towards Labuan where the property of Tourism Infastructure
and Enterprise Zone Authority (TIEZA) is situated. The continued
occupation of these informal settlers has already caused damage to
the property of TIEZA particularly the fences around its property.
In view thereof, TIEZA Zamboanga, through its Resident Manager,
Mr. MAGDARA A. SARIP, is seeking the assistance of Barangay
Upper Calarian through you as Punong Barangay, to take action by
complying with DILG Memorandum Circular 121-2019 and also to aid
TIEZA in protecting its property from any further damage which may
be caused by the continued occupation of these informal settlers.

We are hoping for a quick and positive response relative to the

matters stated above.

Sincerely,

ATTY. QUIRINO G. ESGUERRA JR.

Legal Counsel

At my behest:

MAGDARA A. SARIP
Resident Manager
TIEZA Zamboanga
