The problems of land grabbing and ownership of the residents of Pangarap Village Caloocan City North Tala Estate are 3 decades now.

The problems of inequality with the rich and powerful against the poor and the powerless are evident and occuring as I write this petition inside Pangarap Village Caloocan City North Tala Estate.

Araneta Group of Companies: Carmel Farm Inc, Carmel Development Inc. and the Aranetas have been pressing for their controversial private ownership claim over Pangarap Village, a land area of 156 hectares that served as relocation or retirement area to many (40,000+) government, military personnel and urban poor for over 48 years now thru Proclamation 843, s. 1971 and PD293, s. 1973.

Our President of the Philippines and Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development have to award or re-award the ownership of land to Pangarap Village residents on the soonest possible time to stop the harassments (arson, illegal and forceful demolition), human right violations, depravation of basic utilities, blocking major roads access, and killing of innocent lives. If not attended with urgency by our beloved and merciful President this community turmoil, chaos and unrest will continue until the next generations and many lives will contintue to suffer and loss as apparent scenario for over 30+ years now.

Pangarap Village residents decry harassment over land dispute
