The town and its barangays (villages) used to be peaceful until Kadamay members invaded the housing projects of the National Housing Authority. Firstly, Tams Laborte thanked me for the column titled “Pandi is a quiet town until ‘Kadamay invasion,’” which appeared on Monday. I wrote “Pandi is a quiet town until Kadamay invasion” for a sentimental reason. In her email, Laborte wrote that her parents live in a house nearest to NHA’s housing project in Mapulang Lupa that was invaded by Kadamay members. While the poorest of the poor deserve public sympathy, Kadamay members should not have resorted to forcible entry into private homes.
