THE fishermen’s group Pambansang Lakas ng Kilusang Mamamalakaya ng Pilipinas on Tuesday urged an end to the violent demolition in a barangay in Maragondon, Cavite and appealed to President Rodrigo Duterte to stop all the demolition of fishing communities for eco-tourism purposes.
“With or without relocation, the government should refrain from evicting fisherfolk from coastal communities especially if it would only replaced by big businesses’ money-making hub. ‘No relocation, no demolition’ scheme is too complicated so it should be a ‘no more demolition’ at all,” Fernando Hicap, Pamalakaya chairperson, said.
About 10 houses were demolished on Monday by demolition teams escorted by the Philippine National Police and Philippine Air Force.
