CEBU, Philippines – In an attempt to rehabilitate Freedom Park and modernize Carbon Market, the Cebu City government conducted a series of demolitions that has affected at least 8,000 vendors.

The city government promises to accommodate all of the displaced vendors in the new building. But are these assurances enough?
