CARETAKERS of the Adarna property in Sitio Luton, Ba-rangay Mabini yesterday tried to stop a Cebu City Hall team from tearing down three gates that blocked public access to the only road there. They failed.
With the cease and desist order signed by Mayor Tomas Osmeña, the team from Cebu City Hall also made sure that earth-moving activities on the new road the Adarnas built have been stopped.
The security guard and caretaker demanded a court order but were helpless when 20 personnel of the Cebu City Disaster Coordinating Council (CCDCC) and the Squatters Prevention Encroachment Elimination Division (Speed) tore down the first gate.
