Heard on Radyo Inquirer 990AM: Informal settlers’ rep on clash with cops

“I’ve talked to our members. We agreed to vacate the area so that no one would again be hurt. But talks with the landowner will continue concerning our wish to be allowed to pay for the property. It’s not true that we hurled plastic containers containing acid (at the police). What were thrown were only sewage and human excrement.”—Arman Claveria, homeowners association president at Benedict Compound, Pasig City, regarding Monday’s violence on the private property
