I have not seen them use it yet, but eminent domain does exist in PI. See Eminent domain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eminent domain (United States, the Philippines), compulsory purchase (United Kingdom, New Zealand, Ireland), resumption (Hong Kong), resumption/compulsory acquisition (Australia), or expropriation (South Africa, Canada) is the power of a state or a national government to take private property for public use. However, it can be legislatively delegated by the state to municipalities, government subdivisions, or even to private persons or corporations, when they are authorized to exercise the functions of public character.

The local government could use that....if they wanted a sh*t storm. The chances of someone in that barangay being connected to someone in government is very likely. I would imagine eminent domain (outside of squatter areas) is very seldom used in the PI for that reason.

Agreed. There would be a bloody mess. Literally if it were to be used. My two cents worth.
