MANILA (UPDATED) - Informal settlers clashed anew with policemen during a demolition of shanties in Barangay Culiat, Quezon City Tuesday morning.

Residents of Pag-asa Compound set up a barricade of wooden tables and tricycles along Luzon Avenue at past 7 a.m., in an attempt to block the demolition team from reaching their homes.

They also prepared a stash of bottles, rocks, human feces and dirty water from the gutter to throw at the authorities.

At least five people were wounded during the melee, including a resident who fought off the lawmen.

An elderly woman and a newspaper photographer were also wounded after being hit by rocks. A member of the demolition team, meanwhile, fell from the roof of a house he was tearing down while another man accidentally stepped on a glass shard.

This is the fourth attempt to demolish the houses in the 2,000-square meter property of the Picache family, in accordance with the court order from the Quezon City Regional Trial Court Branch 98.

The first demolition attempt on March 9 saw policemen using tear gas on informal settlers. Seven children and a woman were rushed to the hospital after inhaling the gas.

Violence likewise erupted when residents mounted a barricade of tricycles to stop a demolition attempt on the following day

Quezon City Rep. Jose Christopher "Kit" Belmonte interrupted the third demolition attempt, saying the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) was still preparing relocation plans for the residents.

Tuesday's demolition snagged traffic at a portion of the Luzon Avenue, from the Congressional Avenue up to the the Commonwealth Avenue.
