| The Court cannot treat the requirements of Sections 9 and 10 of R.A. 7279 lightly. It held in Estate or Heirs of the Late Ex-Justice Jose B.L. Reyes v. City of Manila,[14] that these requirements are strict limitations on the local government's exercise of the power of eminent domain. They are the only safeguards of property owners against the exercise of that power. The burden is on the local government to prove that it satisfied the requirements mentioned or that they do not apply in the particular case.[15] | |||||
