Asia Insight - Season 6 - Eps 25: Philippine Urban Poor at the Mercy of Developers
In Quezon City, near the Philippine capital Manila, lies the shantytown of San Roque. But as economic growth fuels rapid urban redevelopment, some 40,000 locals live under the constant shadow of eviction from their ramshackle homes. Around 3,000 families have already been moved out of the city to new homes provided by the government, but many still lack basic infrastructure like power and water.
