A Spendthrift?

Now that I have spent some time in updating on the issue, one development on the matter that caught my attention was the threat by DMCI to sue the Federation for asserting the homeowners' rights over their respective properties beneath the hill. Its rights end where those of the Federation members begin.

I just discovered that drowned among the many messages in my mail box, during my long absence, was the comment in the form of a link to newspaper article on the matter of legal action by DMCI. Pity, I was not around to post it so the legal threat lost its bite or the lack of it.

Obviously, DMCI's reluctance to discuss openly with the Federation on the latter's danger issues with their project makes it suspect. It seems it does not want to spend for mitigating measures against any untoward incidents to the neighboring subdivisions. But any responsible property developer will. Yet, it avers that the subdivision will be one of the best in the City.

Still, it has no other recourse but to listen to the complaint and attend to the mitigating measures acceptable to the Federation membership because the group is unflappable. It is good business sense to think beyond one's geographic area.
