    The mayor offered the Sunken Gardens as an alternative venue for an assembly instead of Plaza Miranda due to safety concerns. The mayor believed that Plaza Miranda posed a greater risk of public disorder and violence compared to Sunken Gardens. While people have the right to peaceful assembly, the petitioner failed to show that the mayor had a clear legal duty to grant the permit for Plaza Miranda unconditionally. The court denied the petitioner's request and dismissed the case.

    Navarro v Villegas

    The City Mayor offered the Sunken Gardens, instead of Plaza Miranda, as
    venue for an assembly.
    Facts:1.

    The Mayor of the City of Manila (Villegas) expressly stated his willingness
    to grant permits for peaceful assemblies at Plaza Miranda during
    Saturdays, Sundays and holidays when they would not cause unnecessarily
    great disruption of the normal activities of the community and has further
    offered Sunken Gardens as an alternative to Plaza Miranda as the site
    of demonstration sought to be held thatafternoon.2.

    The Mayor believes that a public rally at Plaza Miranda, as to compared to


    one at the Sunken Gardens as he suggested, poses a clearer and more
    imminent danger of public disorders, breaches of the peace, criminal acts,
    and even bloodshed as an aftermath of such assemblies, and petitioner has
    manifested that it has no means of preventing such disorders.

    Ruling:
    1. Every time that such assemblies are announced, the
    community is placed in such a state of fear and tension that
    offices are closed early and employees dismissed, storefronts
    boarded up, classes suspended, and transportation disrupted,
    to the general detriment of the public.
    2. Petitioner has failed to show a clear specific legal duty on the
    part of Mayor to grant petitioners’ application for permit
    unconditionally. Thus, the Court denied the writ prayed for by
    Navarro and dismissed their petition.
