-Days after the deadly demolition attempt at the Silverio compound, another area in Parañaque City is set to be demolished on Thursday.
+Residents of a private compound in Parañaque City on Thursday prepared plastic bags full of human waste to repel demolition teams which were ordered to demolish their homes.
-Residents of Tucuma, Merville trooped to the office of Mayor Florencio Bernabe Jr. on Wednesday, seeking to stop the demolition.
+Residents at Tucuma Compound in Barangay Merville placed human waste in plastic bags that they placed in a large drum, to throw at the demolition team, radio dzBB's Sam Nielsen reported.
-The mayor, however, said he cannot do anything because a court has given the order.
+"Isip namin ang hindi nakakasakit (We want to repel them but we don't want to cause injuries)," said one of the residents, Ramil Asturias.
-Bernabe said he could be charged with contempt if he defies the court order.
+However, other residents were reported on GMA News TV to have stockpiled bottles for throwing at police and demolitions teams.
-Residents now vow to do everything to stop the demolition, and some have already started guarding the gate of the compound.
+Asturias said the families in the area have lived there for decades and it would be hard for them to find work if they are relocated.
-Bernabe, meanwhile, also said Wednesday that the demolition of structures at the Silverio compound will push through.
+The dzBB report said the residents expect the demolition to occur any day this week, possibly Thursday morning.
-Angry residents said they are determined to stop the demolition at all costs.
+Only last Monday, at least one person was killed while 39 were injured after violence marred the demolition of stalls at the Silverio Compound in Parañaque City.
-City officials have already sent a dozen security guards to Silverio compound, where violence broke out between residents and police on Monday.
+Meanwhile, in Quezon City, residents at a compound in Commonwealth village whose homes may be demolished anytime held a vigil Wednesday night.
-Bernabe urged residents to allow a private developer to build a condominium in the area.
+Some 40 families at a compound in Commonwealth compound said they are not budging even after a 30-day notice of eviction for them was to lapse Thursday, radio dzBB's Rodil Vega reported.
-Based on the mayor's computation, each family will pay around P1,800 a month for 25 years for a 24-square-meter property each.
-Lydia Montero, who has been living in Silverio since the 1980s, rejects the idea.
-"Puro kami tensyonado, hindi kami nakakatulog, dahil alam naming babalik at babalik sila, di pa kami kalmado," she said.
