Judge orders Camcam evicted from Makati mansion

MANILA, Philippines - A Makati judge has ordered the eviction of Edna Camcam, the former long-time companion of the late former Armed Forces chief of staff Fabian Ver, from the posh North Forbes Park mansion she has been occupying since 1994.

In a 13-page decision dated Feb. 10, Regional Trial Court Branch 66 Judge Joselito Villarosa also ordered the police to assist in the eviction of Camcam from the five-bedroom mansion that sits on a 2,000-square meter lot at 3 Cambridge Circle.

Villarosa also ordered Camcam to pay physician Daniel Vasquez the sum of P250,000 every month from January 2012, when Vazquez asked her to vacate the property.

It was after this notice to vacate that Camcam went to court to claim ownership of the mansion. The court has recognized Vasquez’s ownership of the property.

Vasquez acquired the property after he agreed to continue making payments for it after Camcam left the country in exile during the EDSA Revolution.

Camcam was requested by Vasquez to leave the property after investment banker and real estate developer Benjamin Bitanga executed a deed of sale with right of repurchase on Sept. 27, 1994 over the property in favor of Vasquez. The deed was then re-executed on July 10, 1995.

The court ruled that neither Camcam nor Bitanga had taken any step to annul the deed of sale with right of repurchase over the contested property.
