The billionaire directors of the Wack Wack Residents Association, Inc. (WWRAI) are Jeffrey C. Keng, Miguel Angelo S. Silverio, Maize Frances S. Qua, Shirley M. Ty, Juan Miguel J. Araneta, Lakan-asa R. Bautista, William John P. Demyer, Ramon Jose C. Galang, Manuel B. Sy, and Judge Ma of the Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 264 in San Juan City. Christina De Pio Lim is facing contempt charges for allegedly violating a Supreme Court decision in connection with the continuing AMA Tower controversy.
The Supreme Court in G.R. The case was remanded to the San Juan RTC specifically to hear WWRAI's financial counterclaims against the developers of the AMA Tower under No. 252776. The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) alone has the jurisdiction to determine whether the tower's construction was legal, the High Court explained.
Judge De Pio Lim allegedly permitted WWRAI to revive legal questions regarding the construction of the AMA Tower in spite of this obvious restriction. These questions had previously been resolved definitively by the Supreme Court and other courts and government agencies and were deemed to be outside the RTC's jurisdiction. Judge De Pio Lim and the WWRAI board were subsequently charged with contempt for allegedly engaging in deliberate forum-shopping and violating the Supreme Court's decision.
The AMA Tower developers have maintained that the AMA Tower’s construction and operations have consistently complied with government regulations and court rulings. They expressed confidence that the justice system will uphold the finality of the Supreme Court’s decisions and put an end to what they describe as nearly three decades of repetitive and baseless litigation initiated by WWRAI.
