Yes, you are absolu...Hey, thanks for your comment. Yes, you are absolutely correct. That is one possibility. However, I wish to tell you that here in Pasig, there are a lot of privately owned patches of vacant land. No "squatter" dared put up makeshift four-walls-and-a-roof in those lots because thy are fenced. That's right, simple CHICKEN WIRE. And, oh yes, there's a big sign - "NO TRESPASSING". I tell you it is effective! Simple people know what "NO TRESPASSING" means.<br /><br />There's one huge parcel of land along C-5 right across Pasig SM Hypermart. It is owned by GSIS (i.e., government property). It is fenced! For decades now, there are no informal settlers there. Only old, tall trees. Another good example is the vacant land along Shaw Boulevard opposite One San Miguel (I think, or near it). The land is fenced. Lo, and behold! For decades, it is clean as a whistle. These scenarios are very much different with vacant lands in Quezon City, say Agham Road? The only difference my friend, is CHICKEN WIRE.<br /><br />The solution to the problem you pointed out is regular police visits, say once a month to check the integrity of the fences. An everyday round even, would not be costly since the police is already doing it anyway. CCTV cameras nowadays are cost-effective. There are more ways to maintain the fences, you know.<br /><br />A whole lot of difference would be seen if the government would just put up fences in those areas.
