Ilongga Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago is urging Metro Manila mayors to file damage suits against the owners of billboards that fell and killed people as Typhoon “Milenyo” battered Metro Manila last Thursday. Moreover, the senator said that under Article 701 of the Civil Code, mayors could order their city engineers to tear down billboards without judicial proceedings. “Under the Civil Code, these giant billboards are a nuisance because they injure and endanger the safety of others, offend the senses, and obstruct the free passage of public streets and highways,” she said (read more here).
Meanwhile, another storm is approaching the country according to Defense Secretary Avelino Cruz, chair of the National Disaster Coordinating Council.
