THE Committee on Human Rights (CHR) in Northern Mindanao Region will conduct a separate investigation regarding the violent demolition in Lugait town in Misamis Oriental if there is a reason for them to do so.

Victorio Aleria Jr., CHR regional supervising investigator, said if they are not satisfied with the findings or (based on the CHR-10s judgment) something is lacking in the investigation, the CHR will interpose.

But at present, Aleria said, there is no reason yet for them to launch a separate investigation.

We will go over with the results of the investigation if there is a need for us to intervene, he said.

On December 4, around 200 families were displaced in a violent dispersal that killed one resident and wounded six persons who stood their ground against roughly a hundred law enforcers and members of the demolition team. READ: 1 killed, 6 hurt in Misamis Oriental demolition

The victim was identified as Nixxon Tungao, 35, who did not reach the hospital in Iligan City. He succumbed to the gunshot wound in his stomach.

The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) in Iligan City has committed to investigate the violent dispersal that took place in Barangay Calangahan in Lugait.

Aleria added that they are giving the law enforcers the chance to do their job, that is, to investigate.

Apart from conducting a separate investigation, the CHR-10 serves as a monitoring body to check if other government agencies taking part in the investigation are functioning.

The process for demolition approval could change after several members of the Architectural Commission voiced frustration and confusion with the system.

Commissioners and town staff held a lengthy conversation about the topic at Thursdays meeting, and staff members agreed to re-evaluate the process.

The discussion started when commissioners at first denied architect Patrick Segraves application to demolish a bungalow-style house at 310 Australian Ave. because they thought the cottage had historical significance and might be worthy of landmark designation. The commission later granted Segraves approval, but did so reluctantly.

This house wasnt landmarked? member Richard Sammons asked. I think its a significant house. Its a positive contributor to the street, considering that its grouped with other very similar houses. Its a nice old reminder of Old Palm Beach. I hate to see it go.

Other members agreed.

I bemoan the proposed destruction of part of a set that I think are important parts of the whole feeling of the historic part of town, said chairman Robert Vila.

But the house is not landmarked and not on the landmark consideration list, and therefore the commission has no grounds to deny a demolition request, according to town staff.

We have unfortunately run into this rather sad situation in the past, said John Page, Planning, Zoning & Building director. I understand your reluctance to approve demolition for a structure that has some historic value to the community and that you think should be saved, but if the property is not landmarked there is not a lot of discretion from this board to deny a demolition request. The fact that you think its historic or quaint or that is should be preserved is not a valid reason.

Sammons said theres a problem with the process when commissioners think a property should be examined by landmarks, but it isnt on the consideration list. The problem were having with this is were asked to approve the demolition of something thats never been given a hearing by Landmarks.

Landmarks Preservation Commission Chairman Ted Cooney said the commission has to prioritize projects based on its workload and budgetary and staff limitations.

We cant interfere in court cases, and its up to the Spanish authorities to provide clarity on the legal uncertainty facing many British homeowners in Spain.

We meet and lobby the Spanish authorities at all levels and we will continue to do so.

He said the Foreign Office was aware of three British-owned properties that have been demolished because they were deemed illegal, one in 2008 and two this year.

The Spanish government was accused last month of pushing illegally built homes to British buyers.

Spain has approximately three million homes standing empty due to the property crash in 2007. Up to a third of these properties may have been built illegally due to corruption in the construction industry and town halls.

A British couple, John and Jan Brooks, had their dream villa bulldozed in October despite a court ruling that they were innocent victims of a corruption scandal.

The Foreign Office has produced a guide on how Britons can avoid being ripped off when buying a property in Spain.
