Philippine Ports Authority general manager Alfonso Cusi has tasked the Office of the Government Corporate Counsel (OGCC) to initiate an ejectment case against WG&A Shipping Lines in connection with a Nov. 12, 2001 PPA’s notice to vacate the Marine Slipway (MSW) at the North Harbor.

Debunking speculations that the PPA is inclined to extend the lease contract of WG&A, Cusi said everything depends on how the case will be judicially settled.

The court has already denied WG&A’s motion for a temporary restraining order or for preliminary injunction, so it’s now up for the OGCC to implement the ejectment proceedings, according to Cusi.

PPA earlier issued WG&A a notice to vacate the Marine Slipway last November 12. The PPA plans to start rehabilitating portions of the North Harbor even before the area is privatized.

The PPA reported that WG&A earlier filed a petition for a temporary restraining order but the petition was denied.
