    Republic v. PLDT - Case Digest - F

    Uploaded by

    Robehgene Atud
    The Republic of the Philippines sued PLDT to require them to reconnect trunk lines that PLDT disconnected from the Republic's telephone system. PLDT disconnected the lines because the Bureau allowed non-government users on the lines. The court held that the Republic could exercise eminent domain powers to require interconnection between the systems, subject to paying just compensation. While PLDT would retain ownership, the interconnection could burden PLDT's property for public use by connecting both telephone systems for users.

    REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES VS.

    PLDT, digested
    Posted by Pius Morados on November 8, 2011
    26 SCRA 620 (1969) (Constitutional Law – Eminent Domain, Expropriation,
    Just Compensation)
    FACTS:

    Republic commenced a suit against PLDT to command PLDT to execute a


    contract with the Republic for the use of the facilities of PLDT's telephone
    system throughout the Philippines following the disconnection by PLDT of
    the trunk lines for the reason that the Bureau violated conditions relative to
    the rent of trunk lines when it allowed its use not only to government offices
    but even to serve private persons or the general public.

    ISSUE: Whether or not there could be an expropriation of public service


    utilities.

    HELD: Yes, the Republic may, in the exercise of the power of eminent
    domain, require PLDT to permit interconnection with the system, as the
    needs of the government service may require, subject to the payment of just
    compensation. No cogent reason appears why the said power may not be
    availed of to impose only a burden upon the owner of condemned property,
    without loss of title and possession. Ultimately, the beneficiary of the
    interconnecting service would be the users of both telephone systems, so
    that the condemnation would be for public use.
