Residents of Molave Extension or Leona Compound in Nagpayong, Barangay Pinagbuhatan, Pasig City reasserted their stand against their eviction by Pasig Action Line (PAL), a local government organization. PAL again intimidated the residents early this year on January 5 in an attempt to drive them out.

Reports say a hospital and a school is set to be constructed in the area. The residents learned about the construction from Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto himself on December 3, 2025. They said the local government did not show any proof that it owns the land they occupy. They are also disappointed at having no relocation plan after their eviction.

Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan)-Pasig expressed its support for the community’s struggle. It also joined the protest organized by the residents at Pasig’s Temporary City Hall in November 2025.

At the protest, they called on Mayor Sotto to allow the people to occupy idle lands for their communities. They also urged that the actual landowner issue an “Intent to Sell” in the future or include them among possible beneficiaries of the government’s housing projects.

“Until the issue of decent housing for the poor remains unresolved and the law continues to serve only a few, communities like Leona Compound will persist and further expand,” Bayan-Pasig said.
