LA TRINIDAD, Benguet — The happy days of hundreds of chicken dung dealers in this capital town are back again after the Regional Trial Court Branch 63, which earlier barred the sale of the product, lifted the writ of preliminary injunction it earlier issued, citing that traders will suffer from irreparable damage through earned income if the ban will continue.
However, the lucrative business will temporarily continue pending the court’s decision on the case after the provincial board declared as null and void Ordinance No. 7, Series of 2008 of the La Trinidad municipal council regulating the sale of chicken dung.
In an order denying the petition for judgement of the affected traders, Judge Benigno Galacgac, RTC Branch 63 presiding judge, ruled the court needs more time to assess issues raised by the Shilan out-of-school-youth, the petitioners, questioning validity of the ordinance, the municipal government and the traders.
Under existing rules and procedures, an injunction can be dissolved if it appears the issuance would cause damage to the party or persons enjoined.
The decision cited in the injunction if prolonged, people who depend on the chicken dung trade such as employees and farmers who use the dung as fertilizer will continue to suffer. – Dexter A. See
