ISLAND COVE POGO HUB—PAGMAMAYARI NA NG EEI CORP.

Na-acquire na ng Yuchengco family-backed EEI Corp. ang ownership ng Philippine offshore gaming hub (POGO) na nakatayo dati sa Island Cove sa Kawit, Cavite.

Umabot sa P2.8 billion ang halaga ng transaksyon na unang entry ng engineering firm sa industriya ng real estate.

Acquired na ng firm ang 100 percent ng shares mula First Orient International Ventures (FOIVC) mula KC Land Oriental Pacific Inc.

Isang real estate holding company ang FOIVC na nagmamay-ari ng 49 hectares na lupa sa Cavite. Sa kanila ibinenta ng Remulla family ang property ng Island Cove noong 2018, isang taon bago ito maging isang POGO hub.

Paliwanag ng EEI, ang pag-acquire nila ng property ay simbolo ng kanilang portfolio diversification.

“Real estate development represents a logical and timely progression for EEI."

Dagdag ng kumpanya, hangarin nila magbigay ng "socialized, decent and sustainable living spaces for our people."

The (SC) has nullified the foreclosure of several properties after ruling that the interest charged on the unpaid bank loan was unfair and imposed without the borrower’s consent.

In a Resolution written by Associate Justice Ricardo R. Rosario, the SC’s Special Third Division granted the Motion for Reconsideration filed by Editha Ang and Violeta Fernandez, whose properties were foreclosed by United Coconut Planters Bank (UCPB) after they failed to pay a PHP 16-million loan.

Ang and Fernandez obtained a loan from UCPB. Based on the loan documents, however, UCPB was allowed to unilaterally adjust the interest rate every quarter based on market conditions.

When Ang and Fernandez failed to pay the total loan when it fell due, UCPB began to extrajudicially foreclose their properties.

Ang and Fernandez then filed a petition with the Regional Trial Court (RTC) to nullify the foreclosure sale, claiming that because the bank had the sole power to set and increase the interest rate, the rate was unfair and invalid.

The SC initially agreed that the interest rate was invalid but still upheld the foreclosure sale, ruling that the borrowers remained in default.

Upon reconsideration, however, the SC ruled that if the interest rate was unconscionable or imposed unilaterally by the lender, then any foreclosure that follows is also invalid.

The Court emphasized that under the Civil Code, contracts must be fair and mutually agreed upon. A contract that depends only on one party’s will is void.

In this case, the interest rate was solely determined by UCPB. Since the interest rate was invalid, the foreclosure of the properties was void.

The SC held that the borrowers should be given a chance to pay the loan at an interest rate agreed upon by both parties. Otherwise, they would be at the mercy of the lender and risk losing their property without a fair opportunity to settle their debt.

FYI‼️

List of Barangays Near the East and West Valley Fault

The Valley Fault System (VFS), an active fault in the Greater Metro Manila Area (GMMA), consists of two segments: the East Valley Fault (EVS) and the West Valley Fault (WVF).

East Valley Fault

The EVF is about 10-km long and traverses the municipalities of Rodriguez and San Mateo in Rizal Province. This fault can generate an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.2 that may result to a very destructive ground shaking, with intensity VIII on the PHILVOCS Earthquake Intensity Scale (PEIS), in the epicentral area.

West Valley Fault

The WVF is approximately 100-km and transects portions of Quezon City, Marikina City, Pasig City, Makati City, Taguig City, Muntinlupa City, and the provinces of Bulacan, Rizal, Laguna, and Cavite. This fault can generate an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.2 that may result to a very destructive ground shaking, with intensity VIII on the PEIS, in Metro Manila and nearby provinces.

The fault, which has moved 4 times in the last 1,400 years, moves roughly every 400 years, according to Phivolcs Director Dr. Renato U. Solidum, Jr.

In case of a magnitude 7.2 earthquake from the West Valley the fault, 31,000 to 33,500 people could die, according to estimates based on previous studies conducted by PHIVOLCS in partnership with the the Metro Manila Development Authority, Japan International Cooperation Agency, and Geosciences Australia.
