Sa sampung pahinang reklamong iniharap ng Makati City, ang Ingat-Yaman ng Taguig na si Voltaire Enriquez at mga empleyado ng siyudad na sina Jessie Garcia at Erika Macaligtas ay inakusahan ng Makati na lumabag sa Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act, Grave Misconduct, Gross Neglect of Duty, at Conduct Prejudicial to the Best Interest of the Service.
Ito ay kaugnay ng 11 buwang pagkabalam ng pagpapalabas ng tax clearance documents ng Taguig City Treasurer's Office para sa 3 parcels ng lupa na binili ng Makati City mula sa Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) sa halagang P146,503,273.
Ayon kay Makati Mayor Abby Binay, makaraang makumpleto ang transaksyon at makabayad ng buwis sa pambansang pamahalaan, nakuha nila sa Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) ang tinatawag na Certificate Authorizing Registration for the Transfer Certificate of Title.
Upang maproseso ang paglilipat ng titulo, kailangang maisumite ang Tax Declaration ng tatlong parcels of land sa Registry of Deeds na sumasakop sa Taguig City.
Kailangan din ang Local Tax Clearances ng Taguig City at ang Proof of Payment of Local Transfer Taxes.
"While the tax declaration documents were easily obtained, there was inordinate delay in securing the tax clearance and assessment for the payment of local transfer taxes. During the series of follow ups, the respondents only said that the application for tax clearance is still pending with the City Treasurer's Office but offered no acceptable reason for the delay," ayon sa inilabas na pahayag ng Makati City Government.
"The Taguig City Government has shown on many occasions a contemptuous disregard for the law. Aside from the unjustifiable delay in the release of tax clearance documents, they have harassed our employees and are now facing charges of illegal detention and grave coercion. Their obsession to grab properties owned by Makati seems to have compromised their judgement, public conduct, and sense of decency," ang pahayag naman ni Makati Mayor Abby Binay.
Ayon naman sa pamahalaang lungsod ng Taguig, walang basehan ang reklamong ito ng Makati.
"This is another baseless complaint filed by Makati, intended only to harass Taguig officials. The cases filed against the officials and employees of Taguig will not detract them from giving the EMBO residents transformative programs that they deserve," ang pahayag ng pamahalaang lungsod ng Taguig.
