Skaters fight back
Progressive sports enthusiasts from Skaters United and Defend the Hood staged a protest in front of Palma Hall at UP Diliman, Quezon City, on Saturday, 26 September, to raise concerns over adequate housing and accessible sports facilities in the country. According to the skaters, many of them live in informal settlements at risk of demolition to make way for businesses. They also called for skate parks to be made more accessible to the general public. University authorities stopped the protest, prompting the skaters to proceed to Vinzons Hall to continue expressing their concerns. | Aram Lascano for DAILY TRIBUNE
