                    [Summary] => The Senate and the House of Representatives have been urged to legislate harsher penalties for squatting and to allot more funds for the government’s anti-squatting drive. 


Housing czar Mike Defensor made the appeal in a letter to leaders of the two chambers of Congress.


Defensor said heavier punishment for squatters and more funds for the anti-squatting campaign should enable the concerned government agencies to stop professional squatters from occupying state and private lands.
