    The letter is in response to a request from the Barangay Captain to clear sidewalks per a DILG directive. However, the residents clarify that the directive only applies to highways and main roads, not streets inside subdivisions. As the streets in question have not been proven to be public roads, the sidewalk clearing operations should not apply to them. While following the President's directive is important, discretion is also needed to avoid infringing on private citizens' rights.

    15 October 2019

    HON. SILVESTRE C. NATO


    Punong Barangay
    Brgy. Mariano Espeleta III
    Imus, Cavite

    Re: Letter dated 9 October 2019

    Dear Kap. Nato:

    Greetings!

    This correspondence pertains to the Letter from your good office dated 9
    October 2019 on the sidewalk-clearing operation undertaken by the City Government
    of Imus in compliance with the directive of the Department of Interior and Local
    Government (DILG) per Region IV-A Memorandum Circular No. 017-19.

    The undersigned, as residents of 25 Kalantiaw St. cor. Jacinto St., wish to


    clarify that the Memorandum Circular affects highways and public roads – in the
    words of Mayor Emmanuel L. Maliksi, “mga highway at pangunahing kalsada.” Streets
    inside subdivisions are, as a rule, not included within the coverage of “public roads.”

    Consequently, unless proof is presented that Kalantiaw and Jacinto Sts. Have
    been converted into public roads, these remain outside the coverage of the Circular,
    and necessarily, the sidewalk-clearing operations of the local government.

    While the intention to faithfully follow the issuance, and necessarily, the
    directive of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte to clear public roads, is commendable, the
    exercise of due discretion is equally important so that the local government would
    not end up infringing on the rights of private, law-abiding individuals.

    In full support we remain,

    FRED S. CEBRIAN, SR.

    CERES P. CEBRIAN
