The landowner, who requested anonymity, said in one of his properties in Bohol, he allowed a homeless family to squat in the said property. Before he knew it, his land was already filled with other squatters who later refused to leave even if he needed the land for agricultural development. “Ila pa kong gikiha,” he said.
