WHEREFORE, the Decision dated March 8, 2010 of the Regional Trial Court of Valenzuela City, Branch 172, in Civil Case No. 165-V-07 is AFFIRMED with MODIFICATION in that appellant Republic of the Philippines is directed to pay legal interest of 6% per annum on the just compensation awarded from the taking of possession of the expropriated property until fully paid.
