ONE has to wonder at what point the city officials of Makati and Taguig will begin to feel embarrassed for carrying on like ill-behaved children in the long-running territorial squabble between the two cities. Apparently, that point is much further along than any normally adjusted adult would guess, as the dispute has taken a new twist.

Makati City and the City of Taguig have been wrangling for years over the so-called EMBO barangay , areas that were developed as housing for servicemen adjacent to the old Fort McKinley, which is now Bonifacio Global City .

The roots of the conflict began in January 1986 when the first President Marcos issued a proclamation assigning jurisdiction over Fort McKinley to Taguig but leaving the attached residential areas as part of Makati. In December 2021, the Supreme Court ruled that the administration of the EMBO barangay should be transferred to Taguig, and after the process of appeals by Makati ran its course, reaffirmed that ruling 'with finality' in April of this year.
