-PARAÑAQUE- The Parañaque City government and the Rotary International District 3830, Rotary Homes Foundation, and the Answering the Cry of the Poor (ANCOP) Foundation will host a charity fun run on April 22, Sunday.
+Twenty-nine people, including 3 minors, are facing charges for their alleged participation in the riot during Monday’s demolition at the Silverio Compound in Parañaque City.
-“More than an activity for keeping healthy and fit, "Home Run 2" is an opportunity to help build the lives of the less fortunate by providing them a decent home while protecting the environment,” said Parañaque Mayor Florencio Bernabe Jr.
+Chief Inspector Enrique Sy of the Parañaque City police investigation section said the 29 residents are facing charges of violating Revised Penal Code articles 151 (resistance and disobedience to a person in authority); and 153 (disturbance of public orders).
-The upcoming fun run will help support Rotary Home’s socialized housing project that aims to build 1,000 homes in a 4.2-hectare property along the C-5 Extension Road near Multinational Village within the next seven to 10 years.
+The 29 residents are also facing alarm and scandal charges.
-The said housing project will serve as a relocation site for the informal settlers who are presently living along the bank of Pasig River.
+Parañaque Police chief Senior Superintendent Billy Beltran said 24 men; 2 were women; and 3 were minors (between the ages 15 and 18) were arrested.
-Aside from providing new homes to informal settlers, the project will also in effect be saving the Pasig River from further pollution.
+Police initially arrested 33 residents, but 4 of them were released after they were discovered to be under the age of 15.
-Home Run 2 is hosted by the following Rotary Clubs of District 3830: RC Palanyag Parañaque; RC Makati San Antonio; RC Makati West; RC Makati North; RC Parañaque Metro South; RC Parañaque Poblacion; RC Makati San Lorenzo; RC Parañaque Southwest; and RC Makati.
+Under Republic Act 7610, or the Special Protection of Children Against Abuse, Exploitation and Discrimination Act, anyone below the age of 15 is exempt from any criminal liability.
-Also providing support services are the Parañaque Youth and Sports Development Office headed by Louie Perez, Youth and Sports Adviser Carlo Bernabe and the City Tourism Office under Marilou Fontejon.
+Commission on Human Rights chair Etta Rosales, meanwhile, called for an investigation on reports that the violence during the demolition was started by protesters who were not residents of the barangay.
-The fun run is divided into four categories: 5k and 3k runs, 1k kids’ dash and 1k unity walk. The entry fee is as follows: P500 (5k and 3k) and P400 (1k dash and 1k unity walk).
+Various groups condemned the violence during Monday’s demolition at Silverio Compound. Among the groups that condemned the violence were the End Impunity Alliance, Promotion for Church People's Response, Anakpawis, Bayan, COURAGE and Karapatan.
-Assembly time is at 5:30 a.m. at SM City Sucat Building B in Brgy. San Dionisio. Race venue is at the Parañaque C-5 Extension overlooking the RI 3830 Rotary Homes Foundation Parañaque socialized housing site.
