The Prieto-Rufino family has agreed to vacate the government-owned “Mile Long” lots after the Court of Appeals granted the Executive department’s plea for the immediate seizure of the prime Makati City property. In accordance with that commitment, Sunvar will comply and vacate Mile Long,” it added. President Rodrigo Duterte had launched several tirades against the Prieto-Rufino family, owner of the Philippine Daily Inquirer, which had been critical of his presidential campaign and later, his government’s war on drugs. Duterte has vowed to seize Mile Long from the Prieto-Rufino family, which he said obtained the property during the Marcos administration at a disadvantage to the government. Sheriff Robert Bautista of the Makati RTC served the notice to vacate along with Calida on Tuesday.
