Another remote Gov't relocation housing project for forceably displaced squatters from Manila. So remote, its super difficult to find work, so families here really struggle. Scavenging is about the only option.

About 250m from the multi-storey above ground cemetery where thousands lie "buried" in concrete tombs is our local headquarters for this Gov't relocation housing project. Can be quite nauseating near the cemetery, but the forceably relocated locals get used to it.

Sitio Lower Pintor
Nearby in Southville phase 5
At the base of the road leading up to the top entrance to the Montalban dump-site is this shanty town. Some dump trucks happily offload their rubbish to the welcoming locals who live here. No water, no sanitation. Primitive sub-human existence.

Quarter way up the road to the Montalban dump-site entrance is Sitio Lower Pintor. Dump trucks offload their rubbish so the locals can scavenge without leaving home. No water, no sanitation. Sub-human existence.

Spread around the entrance to Montalban dump-site are 3000 squatter families (6-12/family) No power, no water, no sanitation. Sub-human existence, living in shanties made from whatever they can salvage from the dump. Only one occupation - scavenging.

Pinalagad, Valenzuela
Two very poor communities in this area, scavenging off illegally dumped rubbish.
Pasay
Squatters village
This village of 300 families is rapidly disappearing with the intrusion of massive buiding projects. No water, no sanitation. Sub-human existence. And nowhere for them to go.
