... Based on the tally of the Angeles City local government unit (LGU), at least 2,000 residents or 535 families were given until Friday, March 15, to pack their belongings and leave their homes.

“Pinapatay na nila kami. Tinatanggal na nila talaga ‘yung karapatan namin (They are killing us. They are taking away our rights),” Ester, not her real name, told Rappler on Friday.

Most of the residents, including their children, sought temporary shelter in a church and a covered court in Barangay Anunas. Some of the families still have nowhere else to go and live.
