JJReyes Posted February 10 Author Posted February 10 (edited) 3 hours ago, Mike J said: I assume that "untitled properties" is polite language for squatters? The new euphemism for squatters and homeless is, "informal settlements." Many in the Philippines who build and live in slum areas do pay rent whether to an influential politician in exchange for protection or to a private landowner. Local courts recognize they have rights. The government, corporation or individual landowner is required to provide money and assistance for their relocation.
