AFTER 35 years, the Prieto-Rufino family will vacate the government-owned “Mile Long” after the Court of Appeals (CA) granted the executive department’s plea for its immediate eviction, a property firm owned by the Prietos said on Wednesday. “Last Tuesday, August 15, at around 5:45 p.m., Sunvar and “all persons claiming rights under it” were served at Mile Long with a “Notice to Vacate” the premises within three days. In accordance with that commitment, Sunvar will comply and vacate Mile Long,” it added. On Monday, the CA’s 5th Division headed by Associate Justice Jose Reyes issued the resolution ordering Sunvar to vacate the property. Relying on the same contract and understanding, small business owners and taxpayers purchased condominium units in Mile Long that are now the source of their livelihood,” Sunvar said.
