Informal settlers protest against road widening

Informal settlers protested at the Quezon City Hall on Monday, calling for a halt on the planned demolition of their homes. Shanties along Agham Road from Quezon Avenue to North Avenue will be cleared for a road widening project. About 150 residents were at city hall to air their grievances.

September 23 Movement vice president Ricky Indicio said that the group did not need the relocation to Rodriguez, Rizal, saying that they would die there. He added that the residents were requesting for on-site development which would include the informal settlers, the Philippine Star reported.
