By MANILA – The Quezon City government strongly condemned the violence that marred the clearing operations along NIA Road in Barangay Pinyahan on Thursday, leaving at least 20 police officers injured after being pelted with bottles, stones and other hard objects.
“Hindi natin maaaring hayaang manaig ang interes ng iilan laban sa kapakanan ng nakararami. Sa maayos na pag-uusap, nagpahayag na ng suporta ang nakararaming residente sa proyektong pabahay (We cannot allow the interests of a few to prevail over the welfare of the many. In a discussion, majority of residents have already expressed their support for the housing project),” the statement read.
