According to the Spatial Statistics of Informal Settlers in the Philippines, an estimated
550, 771households are informal settlers as of August 1, 2007. NCR, with a total number
of 199, 398 have the highest number of informal settler households. And out of all the

223, 000 with the highest number of 155, 885 unemployed persons as of 2009 as
conducted by the NSO in a Labor Force Survey.
Depressed Areas as some may call it to lessen the degree of harsh terms such as
squatters, have already been the common concern of all city governments. These areas
have already been proven also as areas that easily get flooded, burnt, destroyed by storms
and are location of crime scenes, illegal trades or buy and sell, and have been home to a
huge numbers of unemployed. The situation of informal settlers household growing are
now becoming alarming since it can be a cause of economic crisis as well as one of the
huge commodities that causes floods, unorganized waste disposal, crimes and such that
the city government are trying to solve. Roads near the areas are also home to illegal
parking as well as illegal vendors that brings blockage in the road and causes traffic in

some highways. Not being able to fix these problems, other policies would not be
implemented and maintained not unless this problem is fixed.
