Protest
vs. demolition in GMA, Cavite
Ongoing
barricade and protest by community residents in Gen. Mariano Alvarez, Cavite to
stop real estate development. Some 60 families plus scores of vendors in Market
Site (near municipal hall) resist planned eviction to give way to Lotus Mall.
The
situation has been since last Wednesday when an attempt was made to a build a
wall to enclose the development site. In the confrontation, community leader Virginia
Panahon was physically threatened using a bolo and also warned with arrest by
the barangay captain. Since then residents and vendors have maintained a vigil
to defend their community and livelihood.
Last December 18, some 100 residents and
vendors marched from the Market Site to the municipal hall to demand a
relocation site. Members of Samahan ng Naninirahan sa Market Site were joined
by the Cavite chapter of Partido ng Manggagawa (PM) and Alyansa ng Maralitang
Pilipino in the protest. The dialogue with an official of Mayor’s office
yielded no result.
Attached are photos of the march.
