Slowly but surely, the new and old set of illegal settlers are putting up makeshift tents in the periphery of the PNR tracks, particularly in the Sta. Mesa, España and Blumentritt areas of Manila.

The PNR authorities should immediately put a stop to these nefarious activities of informal settlers by erecting a wall-fence or barbed wires, if possible, along the PNR tracks from Manila to Muntinlupa City to prevent them from encroaching on the PNR property.
