STORYLINE:
Protesters clashed with police in the Philippines' Quezon City on Monday as local residents, angry at the threat of eviction from their homes, marched on City Hall.
Local authorities say the residents are squatting illegally on the land that is slated for redevelopment as part of the city's central business district.
The protesters arrived at the office of the government ombudsman on Monday and tried to block the road to prevent staff from entering.
Protesters said they had decided to march on City Hall following earlier scuffles with police at their contested neighbourhood earlier in the day.
"They came here demanding an explanation, instead they were met by truncheons and fire hoses," said activist Venser Crisostomo, who was leading the protest.
He accused the government of showing "fascist character...against the poor".
According to local media, Quezon City's mayor said 80 percent of those living in the disputed area have been relocated.
According to local newspapers, the mayor said the deadline for the remaining residents to leave the area had expired on 3 June, but denied reports of a plan to demolish the settlement on Monday.
Local media also reported that three policemen from the Quezon City Police District were injured in the clashes.
