Urban poor groups rally behind Grace

Around 9,000 representatives of various urban poor organizations from all over Metro Manila on Saturday gathered at the PhilSports Arena in Pasig City where they expressed their strong support to the presidential bid of Sen. Grace Poe.

During the gathering, the Broad Urban Poor Coalition (BUPC) and Poe signed a “Unity Statement” that upholds the right of the people to live in the city and adopts an in-city housing policy, among other other proposals that will ensure delivery of decent shelter to the urban poor.
