    The document summarizes and analyzes a play about the demolition of a squatters area. It examines how the play establishes that the government's action was justified according to laws allowing demolition in dangerous areas or with a court order. It then analyzes two scenes - one where a boy proudly talks about his mother's new job without realizing she may be a prostitute, and another where the children characters' dialogue shows their innocence and lack of understanding of the serious situation. The document explores how the play uses the children's perspectives to divert from the pain of the demolition.

    I.

    Eviction or demolition has been discouraged without the court-order under


    particular exceptionalities. According to the Section 10, Article XIII of the 1987
    Constitution with the Social Justice and Human Rights, the urban and rural
    poor dwellers shall not be evicted nor their dwelling demolished, except in
    accordance with law and in just and humane manner. In the play that was
    wrote by Alberto Florentino regarding the demolition of the squatters area, the
    action of the authority is justifiable.

    Examining the introduction of the story, Florentino has clearly pointed out some
    facts or factual instances that support how reasonable the action of the authority is. The
    “old government building”, “court rulings”, “breeding place of vice and corruption”, and
    “estero” are some assumed factual points which supports the demolition of that area,
    and will be attested by Republic Act 7279 or known as Urban Development and
    Housing Act (UDHA). It is stated that demolition is allowed when it was implemented on
    danger areas like esteros, on public places, on government infrastructures, and when
    there is a court order.

    The whole play is heartbreaking, imagining people fighting for their one and only
    home getting dismantled by the demolition team, and worst it is 5 days before
    Christmas. Every one of them has their own kind of anguish, however, I assume that
    they should not be on worse situation more than what they are experiencing that time
    after the evacuation since I believe that the government must have done something for
    the underprivileged people to have an access in a place where it is safe for them.

    II. In amidst of the play, the boy proudly revealed that his mother got a job
    and was confident that they will have a place to go. However, the play was
    not simply referring about the boy’s mom having a job and where they will be
    going to end up after the evacuation but it is about what is the job of his
    mother and this is the intrigue part of the play. The boy described how his
    mother reads hands as her job though for the men only, and she does not let
    him watch her but making him go out and play as she closes the door. Base
    on how the boy described it, his mother might be a prostitute considering the
    boy will be beaten if he took a peek on which it increases possibility of the
    speculations, and the boy does not even have a hint on what is going on
    though still proud of his mother. It is showcasing the full extent of desperation.

    III. “I don’t know”, these are the phrases that has been recurring throughout the
    dialogue of two children and considered as the motif of the drama. Simply
    implying that the characters of the story are innocent, and it was evident when
    the boy was playing his toy in the middle of the commotions. Undeniably,
    these two main characters do not have a full and real grasp on what is really
    happening on their surroundings. The conversation brought up by those two
    children was, indeed, covered by their innocence on which it diverts the
    enormous feeling of pain and sadness that should be felt by almost of the
    people who experienced it.
