QC fire victims’ transfer opposed

A pro-urban poor group on Saturday called on the government of Quezon City not to relocate some 1,500 families from Kaingin Bukid, West Riverside in Barangay Apolonio Samson, Balinta-wak, who were left homeless by a fire last New Year’s Day.

The Kalipunan ng Damayang Mahihirap (Kadamay) said the city government has started fencing the razed community which lies along a tributary of the San Juan River. The river is among the eight major waterways in the priority list of the Aquino administration for clearing.
