SHACC IS FASTER THAN FASTER



As the projects are hasten, other opposing groups also arose like mushrooms. Some revived the old organizations in their areas, while others form new groups, just to oppose and delay the projects. As there were plenty of issues raised by other association opposing the St. Hannibal group, the Presidential Commission on Urban Poor (PCUP) called a meeting on September 14, 2006 to settle the problems confronting the former. Of the two deviant groups invited, only the Faster Group of Tramo Riverside appeared. Some issues then were solved while others were scheduled for the next meeting.
