Belfast dude..
I have family that have 3 houses that are soon to be demolished in Quezon province to make way for the new train project from manila to Bicol.. The thing is they have always known that this was inevitable as in truth they are SQUATTING on public land..
Now the government are giving them 20K each and they should think themselves lucky as in reality they are entitled to nothing..These squatter houses have been holding up progress for years now in this country and it is for the best that they are relocated so that the country can begin to progress..
Well done to GMA for being brave enough to take them on..
My family in Quezon are certainly not complaining as they know they have been pushing their luck on government land for around 30 years!!
