A week after violence-marred demolition, shanties remain at QC Agham Road

One week after a violence-marred demolition that saw more than 20 injured, several residents continued to defy authorities by maintaining their shanties along Agham Road in Quezon City.

At least 50 shanties were still standing at the center island of Agham Road as of 4 a.m. Monday, radio dzBB's Allan Gatus reported.

While many of the families in the area had agreed to be relocated to Rizal, others chose to stay since their place of work was nearby, the report said.

On the other hand, the report said some militant groups urged the residents to think twice before relocating and to consider if their relocation sites have the basic amenities.

Last week, violence marred the demolition of the shanties, where residents threw objects ranging from rocks to bags with excrement at the demolition team.
