ADVERTISEMENTBut Gloria Arellano, national coordinator of Kadamay, said the group had no plans of returning to Rizal. Aside from the police, local government and NHA officials, as well as members of the homeowners’ association occupying another portion of the housing site, had also talked with Kadamay members and eventually dissuaded the group from returning to the project site. We told our members that when faced by fellow poor dwellers, we’d not push through,” Arellano said in another phone interview, Wednesday. According to Arellano, about 500 housing units are left unoccupied over the last eight years on the Rizal site. Arellano said Kadamay’s campaign for decent housing would not stop until they see a viable and solid government action on their complaints.
