Makati Mayor Jejomar Erwin Binay, who presented the CCTV footage during a press conference, said the Taguig employees attempted to sow confusion amid a ruling of the Court of Appeals awarding Fort Bonifacio to Makati City.
The video shows a group of around 15 to 20 men dressed in white shirts taking down a "Welcome to BGC Makati" banner along the road.
The men, most of them wearing "I Love Taguig" shirts, are also seen preventing civilians from taking footage of the incident.
A motorist's phone was even confiscated after he was punched inside his car and threatened to be taken to the Taguig City Hall, Binay said.
Binay said Taguig should surrender its personnel involved in the incident. He said these people should face disciplinary action.
"Ang McKinley Road sa Forbes Park ay bahagi ng Makati. Siguro naman ay hindi inaangkin o balak angkinin ito ng Taguig. Malinaw na hindi lang nanggulo ang mga tauhan ng Taguig sa Makati. Lumabag sila sa batas. Dapat silang managot sa batas," he said.
"Kaya ako ay nakikiusap kay Mayor Lani [Cayetano]. Isuko na ninyo ang mga empleyado ng Taguig na lumabag ng batas," he added.
Binay also said that what the Taguig employees did was already "too much." "Ang ginawa nila kahapon...ang pinakasukdulan. At ito ay hindi namin mapapalampas."
"Kung isa o dalawa ang sangkot, pwedeng i-dahilan na hindi awtorisado ang ginagawa. Pero kung grupo ng sampu o dalawampu ang sangkot, na nakasuot ng t-shirt na 'I Love Taguig' ang karamihan, parang mahirap paniwalaan na sariling desisyon nila na manggulo sa Makati," he added.
