Police, Snipers Face Off with San Juan Residents in Impending Demolition of 800 Homes

The urban-poor group Sandigan ng Mamamayan, together with the residents of Barangay Corazon de Jesus, Pinaglabanan, San Juan City, set up their barricades early today, January 25, 2011, to denounce and stop the upcoming demolition of their communities. More than 800 families were expected to be evicted today from their houses.

At around 4 in the morning, police forces tried to penetrate the community. Snipers from SWAT-San Juan were also seen aiming their guns toward the residents’ barricade. (Text and photos from Tudla Productions)

  1. I hope my post be displayed, para di maging bias at ma monopolya ang mga opinyon ng mga tao, coz as far as i read those msgs. that they allowed, puro masasama at against d government and d police ang lumalabas….

    1. Thanks 4 posting, now i believe na d lahat ng media bias on their report, specially pg government official o pulis ang involved…

  2. grabe, bakit ganyan ang city mayor ng san jaun, mga selfish. iniisip nila kung panu cla yayaman, peo hindi nila iniicip ung mga problema ng kanilang nasasakupan. kabilang ako sa nawaln ng tiraha. nag ttrabaho ako para makapag aral, cicirain lang nila un basta basta. ganyan naba cila kasakim. eh hindi naman yan voluntary.

  3. wow that's scary as hell!!!

    1. Scary as hell tlga' kung d nila naiintindihan kung anu ang ibig sabihin ng preventive measures!!! the question is… kung pumutok ba ung baril ng sniper na yan, at kung pumutok man ilan ba ang patay, i was an ex military, at ung sniper na yan wouldnt put himself in an open na makikita ng tao if hes intention is 2 kill. obviously, hes tryn 2 make protesters aware that sombody is watching them in case they do something 2 harm other people…
