The
constitutionality of RA No. 3120 was assailed by the city officials of the City
of Manila contending that the conversion of the lots in Malate area into
disposable and alienable lands of the state and placing its administration and
disposal to the LTA to be subdivided into lots and selling it to bona fide
occupants thereof in installments constitutes a deprivation of the City of
Manila of its property by providing for its sale without the payment of just
compensation.
