AJLPP CONDEMN THE FASCIST BRUTALITIES VS URBAN SETTLERS IN METRO MANILA

Los Angeles- The Alliance Philippines vehemently condemn in the strongest terms the violent dispersal of informal settlers and urban poor communities in Paranaque by the Philippine National Police (PNP) last April 23.

The violent dispersal of April 23 is characterized by violent fascist police tactics and deadly shooting is a carry-over of the fascist policies of dictator Marcos and GMA that cause the death of one person and the wounding of more than 30 others. Scores of people who resisted the brutal suppression were arrested by the PNP.

The attack on the people was to give way to the construction of another mall owned by SM owner Henry Sy. The same Henry Sy who want to destroy the environment of Baguio City by cutting the pine tress to give way to a parking lot in SM Baguio at Luneta Hill.

Fascist Impunity vs. Urban Settlers

This is the same fascist tactics they employed when they attacked the urban communities of Corazon De Jesus in San Juan and the North Triangle community in Quezon City. The fascist impunity is not only present in the countryside but extends to the urban areas where the informal settlers are subject to fascist attacks.

The Alliance and all its allies stand with the urban poor communities of Metro Manila and all over the urban areas of the Philippines. They suffer the brutalities of the ruling system under Benigno Aquino III who favors the foreign companies and their capitalist allies- the ruling rich elite like Henry Sy and others.

We support the just action of the urban settlers who fight for their rights, against the destruction of their homes and properties. Kaisa ninyo kami sa iyong makataungang pakikibaka!
