Land grabbers have successively carried out evictions of peasants and demolitions of urban poor communities in various parts of the country.

In Zambales, demolition and land grabbing in Purok 3, Barangay Balaybay, Castillejos on February 23 drove out at least 22 peasant families. The farmers said they hold Certificates of Land Ownership Award from the Department of Agrarian Reform for the 21 hectares being seized from them. After the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo in 1991, the then governor of Zambales also announced that the land would be awarded to them. Their families have cultivated the land since 1934.

In Davao City, 600 families lost their homes when their community in Arroyo Compound, Golden Valley, Matina Crossing was demolished on February 27. Many residents were forced to tear down their own homes to secure materials and belongings. The demolition was carried out despite the Davao City local government having no decent plan for relocation. The company claiming the land did not offer any compensation for the destroyed homes.

In Taguig City, residents of Panday Creekside, Barangay Palingon-Tipas, protested at the city hall on February 23 to oppose the threatened demolition of their community. They called on the local government to respect their right to security of tenure in Panday Creekside.

On March 5, fear gripped the community inside the SPD Compound, Western Bicutan when 150 Philippine Navy troopers, with police and barangay officials, suddenly stormed the area. Residents learned that the AFP planned to build Navy barracks in the compound. About 400 families or 2,500 residents will be evicted, most of whom have lived there for four decades.
