Following these events, a boundary dispute arose, which moved Pateros to request a dialogue with the Municipal Council of Makati in 1990. 2475, which stated that Fort Bonifacio is in Makati and remains open for disposition. In January 1986, President Ferdinand Marcos issued Proclamation No. The late Pateros Mayor Nestor Ponce challenged the map through an objection letter dated June 23, 1978.

Pateros's decrease in the territory was attributed to a cadastral mapping of Metro Manila conducted in 1978. According to their claim, this also included barangays Comembo, Pembo, East Rembo, West Rembo, Cembo, South Cembo, and Pitogo (which are now part of Makati) and Bonifacio Global City, Aranai, Ususan, and Palar in Pinagsama (which was made part of Taguig), based on documents and official maps obtained from several libraries and offices, including the United States Library of Congress and National Archives. The municipality of Pateros, the only municipality in Metro Manila and located near Fort Bonifacio, claims that its original land area was not its present land area of 210 hectares (2.1 km 2) but rather 1,040 hectares (10.4 km 2), including Fort Bonifacio. However, the legal case it filed is separate from the case involving Makati and Taguig. Pateros's claim includes Bonifacio Global City. Pateros also claims to control the so-called Embo barangays of Makati and some barangays in Taguig.

Makati claims the main BGC area, Palar Village, and the lands along C5 up to the walls of Heritage Park to be under the jurisdiction of its barangays, Post Proper Northside and Post Proper Southside, while Ususan's exclaves along the eastbound portion of C-5 are also claimed by Barangay Rizal and Barangay Pembo. In addition, Pinagsama exercises control over the McKinley Hill area and Palar Village, while Barangay Ususan controls some exclaves along Circumferential Road 5 (C-5), such as Logcom Village, Wildcat Village, and Aranai. Taguig has administration over Bonifacio Global City and some territory to its south as part of Fort Bonifacio. The dispute also includes the financial district of Bonifacio Global City (BGC). The Fort Bonifacio boundary dispute was an internal territorial dispute in the Philippines between the local governments of Makati, Taguig, and Pateros.
