MANILA, Philippines – The Philippine National Police on Friday, January 14, said that the police have arrested six individuals following a violent demolition in Cavite on Thursday, January 13.
The presence of cops was also requested by the said court, according to PNP chief Police General Dionardo Carlos. Rights group Karapatan said the police and some members of a private security agency opened fire on the residents, who were holding a barricade in their area. “We were actively defending our community against the demolition forces, why the need for the police to open fire? Clearly it was meant to intimidate us and instill terror. What the police failed to realize was that the more they use force and violence, the more it fuels our courage to face them and defend what is rightfully ours,” Dolly Tambungon of Pamalakaya-Patungan said.
