Squatters and police clashed on Thursday as residents tried to stop the demolition of their homes to make way for the development of a high-end housing development in Taguig City, eastern Manila in the Philippines. The informal settlers' community of mostly retired police and military personnel was demolished to pave the way for new development projects.
