REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES
National Capital Judicial Region
REGIONAL TRIAL COURT
Quezon City, Branch 105
HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION OF
PINKVIEW EXECUTIVE VILLAGE,
INC. (HAPEV), represented by Julia
Barretto,
Petitioner, Case No. R-QC-18-0420-CV
3
I.
NATURE OF PETITION
1. This is a Petition for Injunction with a Prayer for the Issuance of Temporary
Restraining Order and/or Writ of Preliminary Injunction.
II.
PARTIES
III.
4
FACTS OF THE CASE
5
allowed entry thereto subject to the regulatory measures imposed within the
village.
a. The security, peace and order, and privacy of the residents have been
disturbed.
6
b. The road network and drainage system, not having been designed to
accommodate a large number of vehicles, have been damaged.
c. The use of and access to private utilities have been affected.
d. The environment has been affected.
7. The petitioner held emergency and special meetings to hear, address, and decide
on the filing of the instant case. Hereto attached are the following minutes and
resolution:
ART. 2. OWNERSHIP-
1. The roads and streets around the village are equitably owned by the
homeowners who are members of Homeowners Association of
Pinkview Village, Inc. (HAPEV). Any violation of their
proprietary rights can be a cause to file an action in the court.
7
9. Opening the roads for public use is a violation of the residents’ rights to a safe,
peaceful, and healthful environment. The presence of outsiders and traffic enforcers in
the area will affect and interfere with the smooth travel of residents. Article 4.1(b)(c)
of the Deed of Sale provides:
4.1 The maintenance of peace and order in the residential area of Pinkview
Executive Village shall rest on the sole discretion of the HOMEOWNERS
ASSOCIATION OF PINKVIEW EXECUTIVE VILLAGE, INC.
(HAPEV). The Association has the duty to:
a. Regulate, control and limit the entry and exit to the village of
vehicles of the homeowners and/or duly authorized
representatives use only and guests to ensure their safety and
security from crimes, other forms of violence and disturbances;
10. Problems like accidents caused by reckless driving, violation of village traffic
rules and road courtesy, and noise pollution will cause prejudice to the residents.
11. The homeowners acquired their properties using their hard-earned money for
their personal and residential purposes, hoping that the neighborhood would be safe and
free from public interference and disorder. They paid a great consideration for better
facilities, a safer environment, and a higher degree of peace, order, and security.
12. In the case of Abellana vs. Court of Appeals, G.R. No. 97039, April 4, 1992,
the Court held that “the road lots in a private subdivision are private property, hence, the
local government should first acquire them by donation, purchase, or expropriation, if
they are to be utilized as a public road.” In the present case, the Sangguniang Barangay
of Sauyo did not acquire any property in the village by any of the aforementioned means.
8
13. Article 428 of the New Civil Code provides, "The owner has the right to enjoy
and dispose of a thing, without other limitations than those established by law." Being
registered owners of the private land, including its common area such as the roads, the
residents have the right to exercise control and dominion over their property.
14. Clearly, the Petitioner and its residents have every right to exercise and protect
their ownership and dominion over their respective properties.
V.
15. Petitioner repleads and adopts by reference the foregoing facts and arguments
in support of the prayer for preliminary injunction and/or temporary restraining order.
16. In the case of Salting vs. Velez, et al., G.R. No. 181930, January 10, 2011, the
Honorable Supreme Court reiterated the grounds and requisite for the issuance of
preliminary injunction and/or temporary restraining order, to wit:
(a) That the applicant is entitled to the relief demanded, and the whole
or part of such relief consists in restraining the commission or
continuance of the act or acts complained of, or in requiring the
performance of an act or acts, either for a limited period or perpetually;
9
(c) That a party, court, agency or a person is doing, threatening, or is
attempting to do, or is procuring or suffering to be done, some act or
acts probably in violation of the rights of the applicant respecting the
subject of the action or proceeding, and tending to render the judgment
ineffectual.
17. As clearly explained in Ocampo v. Sison Vda. de Fernandez, G.R. No. 164529,
June 19, 2007:
To be entitled to the injunctive writ, the applicant must show that there
exists a right to be protected which is directly threatened by an act
sought to be enjoined. Furthermore, there must be a showing that the
invasion of the right is material and substantial and that there is an
urgent and paramount necessity for the writ to prevent serious damage.
The applicant’s right must be clear and unmistakable. In the absence of
a clear legal right, the issuance of the writ constitutes grave abuse of
discretion. Where the applicant’s right or title is doubtful or disputed,
injunction is not proper. The possibility of irreparable damage without
proof of an actual existing right is not a ground for injunction.
A clear and positive right especially calling for judicial protection must
be shown. Injunction is not a remedy to protect or enforce contingent,
abstract, or future rights; it will not issue to protect a right not in esse
and which may never arise, or to restrain an act which does not give
rise to a cause of action. There must exist an actual right. There must
be a patent showing by the applicant that there exists a right to be
protected and that the acts against which the writ is to be directed are
violative of said right.
18. The Salting case was once more reiterated in the recent case of PS Bank, et al.
vs. Senate Impeachment Court, G.R. No. 200238, February 9, 2012:
10
10
b. The acts sought to be enjoined are violative of that right. It must be
proven that the violation sought to be prevented would cause an
irreparable injustice.
19. In this instant Petition, the grounds for the issuance of a preliminary injunction
and/or temporary restraining order are all present. The Petitioner is entitled to the
issuance of a preliminary injunction and/or temporary restraining order against the
implementation of Barangay Ordinance No. 18-726, which was passed by the
Sangguniang Barangay of Sauyo.
1. When the residents bought their residential properties, they also paid
proportionately for the roads and the park in the subdivision and such
can be seen in their respective titles. They have therefore an existing
equity on these roads. To open the roads to public use is a violation of
the rights and interests of the homeowners to a secure, peaceful and
healthful environment.
2. By opening the said roads to the public, the safety and security of the
homeowners therein will be compromised as the criminal elements will
not be filtered out in any other part of the subdivision if the public will
gain access to Whitefield Street and Fordham Street.
3. The road network and drainage system inside the village are not
designed to withstand the entry of heavy volume of vehicles, especially
delivery vans and trucks. Thus, destruction of the roads and drainage
system will result.
4. The safety and health of the residents will be put at risk because of the
smoke emissions that will come from such heavy volumes of vehicles.
5. Finally, the opening of the subject streets will destroy the character of
the village. Homeowners have acquired their properties in private
subdivisions for one purpose; they want it to provide them privacy,
exclusivity and foremost of all, safety. Living in a subdivision has a
premium and such premium translates into a comparatively more
11
11
expensive lot because of the safety, among others, that subdivision
lifestyle offers.
21. The two (2) requisites for the issuance of a preliminary injunction are also
present since pursuant to their respective titles, the homeowners have prima facie right
to the said road, since it is a private property, and the impugned Barangay Ordinance is
violative of such rights.
PRAYERS
Respectfully submitted.

COMES NOW, respondent, by counsel, and unto to this Honorable Court most
respectfully avers and states that:
4. Respondent admits allegations set forth under Par. 5 of the Petition insofar
as the factual circumstances surrounding the enactment and existence of the
57
assailed Barangay Ordinance No. 18-726 (“Ordinance” for brevity), hereto
as Annex 1;
7. Respondent denies allegations set forth under Pars. 9 and 10 for being
conclusions of facts;
AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSES
AUTHORITY GRANTED BY
THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT
CODE OF 1991
10. During the aforesaid stakeholders meeting, respondent did not receive any
objection from all the participants, including those from the petitioner;
11. Respondent has the authority to impose regulations contained in the assailed
Ordinance pursuant to Sec. 21 of R.A. No. 7160, which categorically
provides:
58
SECTION 21. Closure and Opening of Roads. -
(a) A local government unit may, pursuant to an
ordinance, permanently or temporarily close or open any
local road, alley, park, or square falling within its
jurisdiction: Provided, however, that in case of permanent
closure, such ordinance must be approved by at least two-
thirds (2/3) of all the members of the sanggunian, and when
necessary, an adequate substitute for the public facility that
is subject to closure is provided.
x x x x.
SPECIAL DEFENSE/S
VALID EXERCISE OF
POLICE POWER
12. While the respondent admits that the subject property of the assailed
Ordinance is owned by the petitioner as its members and it was never
subjected to expropriation proceedings, still, the respondent has the
authority to regulate such usage of property, pursuant to its police power
under the 1991 Local Government Code;
13. In Southern Luzon Drug Corporation vs. DSWD, G.R. No. 199669, April
25, 2017 citing Didipio Earth-Savers’ Mutli-Purpose Association, Inc. vs.
Sec. Gozun, 520 Phil. 457, the Court held that in the exercise of police
power, property rights of private individuals are subjected to restraints and
burdens in order to secure the general comfort, health, and prosperity of the
State;
14. In OSG vs Ayala Land Inc, et al, G.R. No. 177056, September 18, 2009, the
Court held that police power is the power of promoting the public welfare
by restraining and regulating the use of liberty and property. It is usually
exerted in order to merely regulate the use and enjoyment of the property of
the owner. The power to regulate, however, does not include the power to
prohibit. A fortiori, the power to regulate does not include the power to
confiscate. Police power does not involve the taking or confiscation of
property, with the exception of a few cases where there is a necessity to
confiscate private property in order to destroy it for the purpose of protecting
peace and order and of promoting the general welfare; for instance, the
confiscation of an illegally possessed article, such as opium and firearms;
15. In Department of Education, Culture and Sports vs. San Diego, G.R. No.
89572, December 21, 1989, the Court cited the two (2) requisites for the
valid exercise of police power, to wit: (a) the interests of the public
59
generally, as distinguished from those of a particular class, require the
interference of the State, and (b) the means employed are reasonably
necessary to the attainment of the object sought to be accomplished and not
unduly oppressive upon individuals;
16. By reason of the permanent closure of certain roads brought about by the
construction of MRT 7, congestion of vehicles has become inevitable in the
surrounding areas which directly affect the residents of the barangay;
17. The paramount interests and general welfare of the general public has been
taken into consideration;
18. In order to protect the rights and interest of the homeowners of the
petitioner, the respondent has made necessary security details and increased
barangay personnel visibility to the subject property of the assailed
Ordinance;
19. The passage of the assailed Ordinance is to lessen traffic congestion around
the vicinity.
ISSUANCE OF A TEMPORARY
RESTRAINING ORDER AND/OR
PRELIMINARY INJUCTION
NOT WARRANTED
20. The respondent admits that there are certain rights that must be protected in
favor of the homeowners of the petitioner. However, in the interest of
greater necessity of the public, the respondent leaned towards the latter
without compromising the rights of the former;
22. With regard to the structural integrity of the road, the respondent will be
coordinating with appropriate authorities to re-develop and strengthen the
roads to be used under the assailed Ordinance. The respondent has also
appropriated funds to be used for the preservation of the subject property;
PRAYER
60
Other reliefs equitable under the circumstance is likewise prayed.
Respectfully Submitted.

RESOLUTION
Hearing thereon was set on November 14, 2018. On said date, this Court asked
counsel for petitioner whether they intend to present testimonial evidence. They
manifested that they will present their witness in the person of Julia Barreto. On same
date, petitioner’s witness concluded her testimony.
69
After taking into consideration the comment/opposition of the respondent’s
counsel, the Court granted the said offer and admitted petitioner’s Exhibits “A” to “K”.
It was gathered from the testimony of Julia Baretto that she is a homeowner and
represents Petitioner HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION OF PINKVIEW
EXECUTIVE VILLAGE, INC. (“HAPEV” for brevity), an entity duly organized and
existing under Philippine Laws, with principal address at B1 L1 Jamaica Street, Brgy.
Sauyo, Novaliches, District II, 1116 Quezon City, Metro Manila, where summons,
orders, notices, and processes of this Court may be served (Exhibit “A” – “D”).
70
b. The road network and drainage system, not having been
designed to accommodate a large number of vehicles, have been
damaged.
The petitioner held emergency and special meetings to hear, address, and decide
on the filing of the instant case (Exhibits “F” to “J”).
The sole issue in this case is whether or not petitioner is entitled to the issuance
of temporary restraining order.
In the case of Brizuela v Dingle, G.R. No. 175371, April 30, 2008, citing
Philippine National Bank v Court of Appeal, 353 Phil. 473, 479 (1998), the Supreme
Court ruled that a writ of preliminary injunction and a temporary restraining order are
injunctive reliefs and preservative remedies for the protection of substantive rights and
interest. Essential for granting the injunctive relief is the existence of an urgent
necessity for the writ in order to prevent serious damage. Under Section 5, Rule 58 of
the Rules of Court, a TRO may be issued only if it appears from the facts shown by
affidavits or by the verified application that great or irreparable injury would result to
the applicant before the writ of preliminary injunction could be heard.
71
Further, in the case of Medina v City Sheriff of Manila, G.R. No. 113235, July
24, 1997, to be entitled to the injunctive writ, petitioners must show that (1) there exists
a clear and unmistakable right to be protected; (2) this right is directly threatened by an
act sought to be enjoined; (3) the invasion of the right is material and substantial; and
(4) there is an urgent and paramount necessity for the writ to prevent serious and
irreparable damage.
In this case, petitioners have established through their verified application for
Writ of Preliminary Injunction with a prayer for the issuance of Temporary Restraining
Order that there is a clear and unmistakable right to be protected. No more than the
Constitution itself provides that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property
without due process of law. The opening of Gate 2 and Gate 3 of Pinkview Executive
Village, a private village, for public access by virtue of a Barangay ordinance, without
the homeowners’ consent, is a clear violation of the latter’s rights to lives, property,
and security. The presence of outsiders inside a private villagewill affect and interfere
with the peace, order, security, and smooth travel of residents within the area. All told,
great or irreparable injury would result to the applicant if the said Barangay Ordinance
continues to be effective.
This Temporary Restraining Order shall be effective only for a period of twenty
(20) days from receipt of the parties. The Branch Sheriff is hereby directed to cause the
service and implementation of this order with dispatch.
Accordingly, set the hearing for determining the propriety of issuance of a Writ
of Preliminary Injunction on November 29, 2018 at 10:00 in the morning.
72
Furnish copies of this Order to the parties and their respective counsels.
SO ORDERED.

SCRIPT
TRO
SCENE 1: BARANGAY
HOWARD: Bigyan ko lang kayo ng kopya ng Brgy. Ordinance. Naka-post na rin ito
sa mga lugar kung saan mbabasa ng lahat. Ang ordinance na ito ay naglalayon at nag
uutos na bubuksan ng village na ito ang Gates 2 and 3 para sa publiko. Ito ay para
maiwasan ang trapiko sa lugar.
SCENE 2: VILLAGE
NARRATOR:
After a few days, the quiet and peaceful village became a noisy and busy street full of
vehicles and strangers that were passing by, causing the home owners to complain
(magchichismisan mga concerned residents dito)
78
CONCERNED RESIDENT 2: (Rapz) Tama ka dyan mars nasisira na ang beauty rest
ko nagkaka wrinkles na ako dahil sa stress at noise pollution. I need to visit doctor belo
na tuloy stress talaga
Pati mga drainage system ng kalsada naapektuhan na. Yung mga kanal, nagkandasira
sira na ang dahil andaming dumadaan na sasakyan na di naman taga rito. May trucks at
delivery vans pa. Puro busina pa. Ingay ingay.
Grabe talaga, nawala na ang privacy at security dito sa atin.sana pala di na ako tumira
sa village ang mahal mahal ng bili ko sa house and lot ko pareho lang din pala ang
ingay sa normal na kalsada. Sayang lang din ang monthly dues natin to preserve the
peace and order in our village. Noong isang araw nawala ang bike ni Anna sa
kabilang street. Nakapasok kasi ang mga outsider. Tapos yung village pool, andaming
naliligo lagi na outsiders naman. Ano ba yan!? Magreklamo na tayo kay president
julia ng Association.
In the board resolution, they authorized Julia Barreto to represent the association.
This is accompanied by a secretary’s certificate issued by Gianne Denns Lim, the
acting secretary.
79
CARLO: Ano yun?
JULIA: Ganito kasi yun attorney, nagenact yung barangay namin ng ordinance kung
saan bubuksan yung gate ng village namin. Eh malinaw naman na private property
ung dadaanan ng mga kotse plus magcacause pa ito ng damage sa mga nakatira sa
village namin. May magagawa ba tayo attorney?
CARLO: Oo, meron, magfifile tayo ng Injunction and Temporary Restraining Order.
Yung ginawang ordinansa ng Barangay na yan ay nakakasira sa mga karapatan ng
mga taong nakatira sa village para tumira ng tahimik. Sige ako na bahala dito.
CARLO: Pansamantala, habang dinidinig ang preliminary injuction, mag file muna
tayo ng TRO. Good for 20 days yun. Pag Nakita ng judge na magko-cause ang
ordinance ng great or irreparable injury sa inyo, iga-grant niya yun. Pero kailangan din
natin mag-post ng bond.
JULIA: Naku, attorney. Madaming residente ang nagreklamo. Nasira ang mga kanal,
may nanakawan, tinambakan ng basura ang bakanteng lote, ang ingay ng mga
dumadaang sasakyan na di naman taga rito. 24 hours open po ang gates. Wala na
kaming privacy at exclusivity. Eh pinaghirapan naming bilhin ang mga lupa at bahay
dito.
Yung Gates 2 and 3 talaga namin laging sarado yun. Binuksan nila. Na-obliga tuloy
kaming magdagdag ng mga gwardiya para bantayan ang gates. Gastos din yun. 24
hours ba naman open eh.
CARLO: Grabe talaga ang damage na ginawa. Sige po. Bigyan niyo ako ng pictures
at affidavits ng witnesses na magpapatunay niyan. Bigyan mo ako ng copy ng
ordinance, board reso, sec cert, tsaka kung ano man meron ka. Kailangan certified ng
Secretary nyo na you will represent HAPEV in filing the case.
JULIA: Sige po Attorney. Urgent na po ito dahil pag di ito na-TRO, mas malaking
abala at gulo pa ang mangyayari. Ano pa po ang kailangan?
80
CARLO: Kailangan may main action tayo. The court will not issue a TRO motu
proprio. Kailangan may application tayo.
J: All rise for the Hon. Mar Ellen Uson, presiding. Lets pray the ecumenical prayer.
(SKIP the actual prayer.)
