00:29their agency's membership will help a lot.
00:32Just like the demolition of informal settlers,
00:36where PCUP is trying to ensure that every human being will be protected.
00:43Before we give clearance, we have a pre-demolition conference.
00:50During the demolition conference, the local government unit, the sheriff, is there.
01:08Their agency does not do the same compared to the services provided by DSWD, DOH, and others.
01:15We have assurances that there will be no duplication because we are helping.
01:20Their department is making sure that it is implemented because we are helping.
01:35Some of the things that the agency is planning are their social preparation for those affected by infrastructure projects.
