| Brief narrative |
Source: COHRE Global Survey 2003-2006 found at http://www.cohre.org/store/attachments/Global_Survey_10.pdf "Forced evictions and demolitions of homes were also carried out in preparation for the 12th ASEAN Summit in Cebu in December 2006. Forty-two families (210 persons) were left homeless when their homes, situated at the front of the Shangri-la Mactan Island Resort and Spa in Mactan Island, were demolished by the police. The cleared land was intended to be used as a parking lot for Summit participants. Reports indicated the demolitions were violent with police using water cannons and truncheons to disperse the barricade put up by those trying to resist the demolitions. Many were hurt, including women and children, and 12 people were arrested and detained during the demolitions. More than 600 homes were also demolished in Mandau City in preparation for the Summit. Of these, only 100 families were provided with temporary accommodation and 500 families remained homeless. Furthermore, the temporary accommodation lacked basic services, such as electricity and water." | ||||||||
