EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
RE: MULTINATIONAL VILLAGE HOMEOWNERS’ ASSOCIATION (MVHAI)
---------------------------------------------------
1. In January 2004, the group of Arnel Gacutan was elected as MVHAI directors.
2. In the January 2005 village elections, the HLURB restrained the use by Mr. Gacutan of proxy votes for being unverified and questionable. Hence, the group of Felix Resuello won as directors. The latter then filed a case for recognition as such because Gacutan refused to turnover the MVHAI office (NCRHOA-020105-557).
3. Unfortunately, last March 10, 2005, the HLURB Arbiter (Dunstan San Vicente) came out with the subject decision nullifying the 2005 election and ordering the 2005 directors (Resuello et al) to vacate. The dispositive portion provides:
“Wherefore, the foregoing premises considered, a judgment is hereby rendered dismissing complainant’s prayer for affirmation of their election but instead invalidating said election last January 23, 2005.
“Accordingly, the complainants (Resuello et. al.) are hereby directed to peacefully and orderly relinquish their office and position to the former members of the Board of Directors of MVHAI(Gacutan et. al.) and leave its clubhouse and turnover the custody thereof [to] the Board of Directors, and submit a written accounting of moneys received and disbursed from the moment they took over on February 4, 2005, as well as inventory the items therein in the presence of the Management Election Committee of MVHAI. To encourage and ensure a peaceful, humane, courteous and orderly turn over of the clubhouse and the above records and assets of MVHAI, let the proceeding be observed by the members of MVHAI, local government officials, interested entities; and when warranted by overriding requirements of peace and tranquility, by authorized peace officers.
“Let an Ad Hoc or election committee of MVHAI be immediately constituted and appointed which shall be composed of a competent professional or corporate attorney as chairman and representative of this Office, and one representative each from the parties who are members of the MVHAI, and are knowledgeable in corporate proceedings and with known reputation of competence, probity, and integrity, which committee shall provide MVHAI the requisite expertise and objectivity in calling and holding of the meeting of the members to elect the directors of MVHAI. The said Ad Hoc or election committee shall perform its functions and hold office in an accessible, open but secure portion or space of the clubhouse, free and unaffected or uncontrolled at all times from any partisan actions or influence of the parties.
“After its constitution and appointment of its chairman and two (2) members, the committee shall forthwith meet to determine and formulate, among others, appropriate mechanics and rules for the qualification of the members who shall vote and seek an elective, etc. (sic) All meetings, discussion and deliberations to be conducted by the Ad Hoc or Election Committee shall be open and transparent to all parties and members of the association who shall have free and unrestrained access to the venue of said meeting or conferences of this special committee.”
4. On 13 October 2005, the above decision was reversed by the HLURB Board of Commissioners (“BOC”) which declared that “the will of the majority of the members of MVHAI has been already expressed which must be respected.” (HOA-A-050413-0010).
5. But then, on 16 May 2006, the Office of the President (through Usec Gaite) reinstated the Arbiter’s decision. (No. 05-K-377). The reinstated decision became final but only on
6. On
7. Gacutan filed his motion to lift the status quo order with the BOC, a Petition for Certiorari with the Court of Appeals, and also a Motion before the OP in an obvious forum shopping spree all assailing the status quo order.
8. On
“WHEREFORE, premises considered, the Manifestation and Motion of respondents-appellants(Gacutan et al) is hereby GRANTED. The Order of the HLURB Board of Commissioners dated August 31, 2006 is hereby SET ASIDE and a new one issued DIRECTING the same Board to IMPLEMENT the Decision of this Office dated May 16, 2006, which was declared final and executory in the Resolution dated July 18, 2006.
SO ORDERED.”
9. In response, the HLURB BOC released an Order on 17 January 2007 which sought to clarify how the OP intends to implement a Decision which obviously has become functus officio:
“Considering the present circumstances of the parties in the instant case in relation to the specific orders of the above-quoted dispositive portion of the decision reinstated by the Office of the President, and considering further that it was the decision of the Office of the President that became final, it behooves this Board not to impose its own interpretation in the execution thereof. Thus, we defer to the judgment of the Office of the President and elevate the matter thereto on a request for a clarificatory order to guide this Board and the Regional Office in the implementation of the decision, specifically whether or not the decision shall be implemented against the 2005 and/or the 2006 Board. This is also proper considering the manifestation and motion already filed before the said Office by the respondents.
WHEREFORE, let a clarificatory be sought from the Office of the President as regards the implementation of the decision.”
10. Meantime, the MVHAI 2006 President, Ms. Olive Begre, asked for guidance from the HLURB about the scheduled election in January 2007 pursuant to the MVHAI By-laws.
11. On
“Dear Ms. Begre:
This has reference to your letter dated
Relative thereto, you are hereby advised to conduct your elections in accordance with the provisions of the By-Laws of your Association.
Very truly yours,
Atty. Joselito F. Melchor
Head, Homeowners’ Association
Franchising and Adjudication Unit
Noted:
JESSE A. OBLIGACION
Regional Director”
12. Accordingly, the homeowners elected the 2007 directors last
13. Yet, in a surprising twist of events, the same HLURB Arbiter San Vicente, issued an alias writ of execution in favor of Gacutan et al which the sheriff now enforced. This was obviously meant to pre-empt the BOC and OP clarification. Last March 29, 2007, Gacutan with the aid of sheriffs, his security guards and some unidentified persons violently seized the clubhouse by breaking doors and windows, and took over the clubhouse.
14. It is thus imperative that Usec Gaite acts on the BOC request to clarify that the Decision, as it is written, pertains only to the 2005 election and 2005 directors and cannot be interpreted to extend to the 2006 directors who are not parties thereto and to the 2006 election which was not the subject of the case. And again, the 2007 election already supervened which is not even a subject of the BOC request for clarification.
Truly yours,
OLIVIA BEGRE
President (2007 MVHAI Board of Directors)
February 22,2007

I think manuel gaite is a very bias person. I hope that Executive Secretary Ermita can help us solving this problems. I pity GMA as she would be again accused as bias.
We just pray that Usec Gaite would wake up and help us the poor homeowners of Multinational Village
Dear Mrs. Begre,
I agree with Multinational resident. I am getting confused here. With the sheriffs and police around, will these law enforcers allow brutality? The sheriffs and police would act based on legal documents. I watched the youtube video. I don't see any brutality? Why will they side with Gacutan if Gacutan is not legal?
Previous letters said, since Resuello's group won through an illegal election, it follows all succeeding elections are illegal. So therefore you are illegally seated as Board? The articles you posted here do not seem to jive with the spectators and the streetcleaners "kwento" when Gacutan tookover the clubhouse. And if they tookover the clubhouse, it follow that you should also turnover the MVHA funds, documents etc to them?
Accdg. to the streetcleaners, it was the other way around. It was your directors who shouted and provoked the sheriffs. The sheriffs were merely informing you to vacate the place.
Our checks are paid to Multinational Village Homeowners Asso, why will you deposit our checks to your personal account? Why to your names?
Can you not open a MVHA corporate account? Therefore the bank knows that you are illegal?
It is very simple isn't it our checks should be deposited to MVHA and not to you. I'm afraid of what is happening to our village specially to our funds. Can we still TRUST you Mrs. Begre?
If they say you are illegal, therefore all contracts you entered are also illegal? You will be liable to us homeowners? Again, can we still trust you Mrs. Begre?
I do not think Gaite is biased. This is a very easy case. He is not dumb! Let us not include GMA (politics)in our village.
Regarding the video, they way i see it, no inch of brutality whatsoever. Brutality means cruelty, harshness... The person in the video broke the glass for him to get inside the office. I guess this was the sheriff, the only person authorized to implement the ruling of the court.
Since Begre and her group does not want to get out of the clubhouse, for some reasons we do not know, the sheriff had no other way but to do that so the legal directors Gacutan and company could get inside.
I did not hear of any brutality made by Gacutan and company. I heard of Resuello's harassment but not Gacutan and company!
Well it depends on who you are rooting for. For me that was excessive force just like what they have done to hte Provincial Capitol of Iloilo they also destroyed the glass doors so whats new in our Country. WEll you have to as Manuel Gaite kung magkano ang dahilan. I hope all corrupt officials should be judged by the court from the left.
And remember may Karma din yan
we are sick and tired of the gacutan group forcing their way into our daily lives. How can you explain breaking glass windows and doors inspite of screaming old women asking them to stop? Ganun ba ka-desperate itong grupo ni Gacutan? Hindi lang babae ang kinakalaban - mga matatandang babae! Kakahiya kayo! Takbo na lang kayo! Saka ilang buwan na lang, eleksyon na naman sa Multi!Malamang alam niyong talo kayo!
Well siguro alam nila gacutan at yutadco matatalo sila thats why nag walk out sila sa general assembly last saturday. Gusto lang nila iturnover ang pera sa kanila after that wala ng election kaya ayaw natin homeowners ng ganon.
As for ginawa nila sa mga Lola na directors it showns that they are not a man maybe you know what??? Pag lalaking director kaya ang kaharap nila gagawin nila yon??
Well as per experience pag nag kagulo na usually si yutadco ay tatakas nayan. Do you know na anak niya si Say Alonzo?? tanong mo kung bakit ayaw niya gamitin ang family name ng tatay niya?Siguro ikinahihiyan niya ang tatay niya
hey guys, this is too far way below the belt...We are PBB1 fanatics and my children love Ms. Say very much!
If you are a PBB fanatic, you would know that her last name is Yutadco based on all her interview and newspapers. She has been shouting out SAY is her initials and- Y meaning YUTADCO!
She has been using her mother's maiden name Alonzo since GMA channel 7 days, she was not in ABS yet...because accdg. to her manager very difficult to recall a chinese sounding name like Heart Ongpauco Heart Evangelista... Read the 2005, 2006 Bulletin, Inquirer and tabloids.
I think this is your biggest blunder. Just to get even with Gacutan and Yutadco, you will include their children!
We have been uncertain whom to follow but because of your kind SIMBA... we confirm you are part of this plot!
Put this in your head SIMBA, we will support Gacutan and Yutadco all the way!
Karma awaits your kind!
SIMBA you are part of this...
I believe the decision of the Office of Malacanang!
I agree with the comments here AUDIT your friends BEGRE and MEDINA before ELECTION!
What are you afraid of? Dont twist the facts!
TURNOVER THE FUNDS, AUDIT FIRST before ELECTION!
Hahaha the order of gaite that you have circualted last friday states the following:
1. That an election should be conducted with in 30 day upon receipt of order.
2. That Hlurb commissioner to conduct it.
3. That 2004 will be managed the village.
4. After the winners are proclaim they should be imediately installed.
I don't know where you got that the 2007 board should turn over the funds and had an audit.
I think you don't know how to read vigilant villager what yutadco and gacutan had circulated.
Any way you have the clubhouse so your group is "Managing the Village" right???
Anyway hindi ako maka ABS CBN i don't like the lopezes on the side of Eugenio they are oportunista. See the website of Juan Ponce Enrile and look for the dear tatay letter and you will understand why.
Anyway Yutadco works with Meralco before right. The Wife with Bank of America.
Dear Mrs. Begre,
Gacutan et al must have a basis for their strong letters.
And after comparing them, what hit me most is that you are questioning the integrity of Deputy Executive Secretary for Legal Affairs M. Gaite who signed the decision by authority of the Executive Secretary Ermita. What kind of people are you? You do not want to follow the order.
Madame, if you do not understand, the HLURB Board of Commissioners lost jurisdiction over the case when this was elevated to Office of the President.
Therefore, the order of HLURB is set aside and Gacutan et al are directed to implement the decision asap. This was even declared final and executory.
Just a piece of advise, right now, you have the power because you are backed up by you know who. But let us be practical about this once he is out of his position, you will suffer all these cases not him.
Please take note, Gacutan et al are the legal directors. I noticed they are taking this one at a time which is the correct way.
Your group does a lot of incredible stories bad mouthing the 2004 legal directors.
I wish the Holy Spirit will guide you and enlightened your group!
Stress causes cancer!
No, 2 groups are managing the village Begre and Gacutan as if you dont know! Aren't you a homeowner?
Because up to now your friends are still blind.
Para sa hindi makaintindi ng simple English, 2007 Board Begre sought clarification if they are still legal kasi pinipilosopo nila ang decision because they do not believe what they read. Ayan na clarificatory 2005,2006, 2007 is illegal. THE END!
Clarificatory letter about your status being illegal is different from the Alias Writ of Execution from the HLURB wherein ORDER of the Office of the President is attached.
Please I beg you READ the ORDER to avoid misinterpretation. Ask the kalbo daw accdg to the homeowners yung nag provoke ng people power na wala sa lugar kaya nagalisan ang mga homeowner at natira ang mga kamag-anak, his a DLSU teacher daw who is also the brother of Medina to interpret it correctly.
It's useless to exchange posts with you because you do not know what to follow.
Paano mababayaran ang ginastos na lawyer's fees P1.5million for 1 year... 3 years pa naman yan...
Turnover the management of the affairs of the village and our money to Gacutan et al, afterwhich they will push through with the election.
GOLDEN RULE : YOU CAN NOT GET AWAY WITH AUDIT! AUDIT BEFOR ELECTION!
well audit is good but did the 2004 board submitted an audited statement?As far as i can remember no. Right were did the 3.9 million builders bond go. The 2005, 2006 and 2007 have been religiously paying us back the builders bond which is deducted to our monthly dues.
Mabuti pa sila may consensya cus the bond is an obligation of the MVHAI to the homeowners. Kami ang na apectuhan sa pag takas ng 2004 board ng builders bond pero dahil may puso ang 2005, 2006 at 2007 binabayaran nila kami paunti unti.
The 2004 board should also explain kung saan nila dinala ang nakuha nila sa Equitable Savings Moonkwalk branch ang 500 T plus noong 2005 wala din accounting ito at audit.
wow.. natahimik na ata dito??? wala na ata nabisita.. bakit????? kc ginawa lng tlga tong site na to para manira and mga putakteng saksakan ng gahamang mga nakaupo dyan sa auditorim at di makapwesto sa clubhouse.. grabe... super titigas ng mga mukha
hoy magsilayas na kayo dyan..!!! ang yayaman nyo na siguro.. anlalaki na ng laman ng personal account nyo.. mga bwakang kupal kayo tlga...
katatanda nyo na... malapit na kayo.. magbago bago na kayo bago mahuli ang lahat... matakot kayo sa ginagawa nyo...!!!
