SILLIMAN SAYS
CA not questioning
property ownership
BY JUDY F. PARTLOW
Silliman University officials debunked rumors that the Court of Appeals has questioned its ownership of property in Dumaguete City that was the subject of legal action from claimants to the land.
The university was reacting to what it called “false information” being circulated on the recent decision of the Court of Appeals on a case filed by Silliman University on Quieting of Title with prayers for Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction.
The case stemmed from the occupancy by a group of claimants of a Silliman property at its old archery range, a press release from the University said Wednesday.
