concerned. ( association of small land owners)
how do you say that there is a restraint on the use of the property?
how do you say that there is a restraint on the use of the property? For purposes of eminent domain
Retention limit – here is a certain size only of property that the land owner may own. If it exceeds, then
it may be the subject. It may be taken and be distributed to the land reform program. There is eminent
domain.
(the concept of full and fair equivalent for purposes of just compensation apply to the revolutionary
exercise of the power of eminent domain,)
- yes, applies not just to the traditional exercise of eminent domain, but also the revolutionary
exercise, meaning it also applies even to agrarian reform cases.
o The law itself provides the parameters, section 17, of Ra 6657 enumerates, the factors
to be considered by the court in determining what constitutes just compensation for
purposes of agrarian reform.
o he Supreme Court enjoined, that courts to use the dar formula (which govern the
computation of just compensation)
- the modes of payment cannot exceed what the law provides
o the dar administrative circular, which provides for the opening of accounts in lieu of
deposit in cash or in bonds, was construed as illegal or void as the same is not
consistent with the provisions of our a RA 6657.
o determination of just compensation is a judicial function, it is a matter of fact.
- section 17 of the law, or RA 6657
o factors and formula in the determination of just compensation

applied
- 1) The expropriator must enter a private property – this circumstance is present in the instant
case, when by virtue of a lease agreement the Republic, through PAF, took possession of the
property of Castellvi
- 2) The entrance into private property must be for more than a momentary period – the word
“momentary” when applied to possession or occupancy of property should be construed to
mean “a limited period” – not indefinite or permanent. The entry on the property, under the
lease, is temporary and considered transitory considering that the said contract is renewable
from year to year. The fact that the Republic constructed some installation of a permanent
nature does not alter the fact that the entry into the land was transitory or intended to last a
year.
- 3) The entry into the property should be under warrant or color of legal authority – this
circumstance is present in the instant case because Republic entered the Castellvi property as
lessee
- 4) The property must be devoted to a public use or otherwise informally appropriated or
injuriously affected – this is likewise present in this case because the property was used by the
air force of the AFP
- 5) The utilization of the property for public use must be in such a way as to oust the owner and
deprive him of all beneficial enjoyment of the property – this is wanting in this case as Castellvi
remained as owner and she was receiving the monthly rentals of the property; hence, she was
not deprived of the beneficial enjoyment of the property.

compensation.

of eminent domain may be exercised by some private entities,ex: orporations with a charter and
authorized to exercise the power of eminent domain
