CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – Demolition crews started dismantling shanties owned by informal settlers along Zayas Landfill Road in Upper Carmen, Cagayan de Oro City on Tuesday.
Maj. Evan Viñas, Cagayan de Oro City Police Office spokesperson, said it would take days to dismantle more than 1,000 makeshift shanties that sprouted overnight in the property since January this year. “The law has again sided with the rich. The poor is being prosecuted again,” an informal settler who identified herself as “Yolly” yelled from the sidelines.
