IRENE MARCOS Araneta has asked the Sandiganbayan to order the government ?to immediately cease from further interfering with and exercising ownership? over the Canlubang Mansion in Laguna.

In a motion for resolution, Araneta stressed that the Canlubang Mansion covered by TCT no. T-85026 is not among those on the ?List of Assets Sequestered? or on the ?List of Freeze Orders? drawn up by the Presidential Commission on Good Government.

?Indeed, as the records would bear, the property covered by TCT no. T-85026 is not one of the properties subject of this case,? said Araneta, the youngest of the three children of the late President Ferdinand Marcos and former First Lady Imelda Marcos.

Araneta submitted a copy of an Aug. 17, 1999 certification issued by then Sandiganbayan Executive Clerk of Court IV Emma Rosario A. Lorbes confirming ?that the mansion was not in the list of assets sequestered nor in the list of properties covered by any freeze order from the graft court, and duly registered with this court.?

Araneta said this claim was bolstered by the government when it filed a Motion to Admit Fourth Amended Complaint to include the Canlubang Mansion in the list of properties being claimed by the PCGG.

But the Fourth Amended Complaint was denied by the Sandiganbayan in a resolution dated Sept. 2,1998.

The PCGG did not even file an appeal and simply allowed the ruling to become final. Araneta said she, together with her sister Imee Marcos-Manotoc, and brother Ilocos Norte Rep. Ferdinand ?Bongbong? Marcos are the registered owners of the Canlubang Mansion.

She likewise noted the anti-graft court has not yet resolved the 1995 Omnibus Motion of her brother who sought formal return of the mansion to their family. Macon Ramos Araneta
