Just Compensation Award v. Excavated Soil

The Supreme Court has excluded the value of excavated soil from the payment for just compensation to the owners of expropriated properties. The Court held that there is no legal basis to separate the value of the excavated soil from that of the expropriated properties as the soil has no value separate from that of the expropriated land (Republic of the Philippines v. Rural Bank of Kabacan, Inc., G.R. No. 185124. January 25, 2012).
