Grabbers and others.

I'd been witness to and victim of land robbery (land grabbing). Can this really happen? Oh, yes, it can, Virginia.

First case: It had been easy for a professional swindler to obtain title to a sizeable piece of land he didn't own. All he needed were fake documents, bribe money and his pure greed. In this instance, the "crime" was discovered and some money was recovered.

Second scenario: A tenant of a titled property bilked the legal owner because as s/he claimed s/he'd lived there and helped cultivate the land for a number of years.

In another case, an illegal settler (a very close relative, at that) refuses to vacate a property unless he's paid for the cost of constructing his illegal residence.

Elsewhere, outside of the Philippines, cases such as the above also happens. I remember watching a TV documentary on how certain individuals lost their properties due to their identities being stolen. One Canadian discovered that he lost ownership of his house and lot because it had been sold by an "impostor."

People with criminal minds have no conscience, no guilt, no shit about what illegal things they do. Their minds are ruled by greed, by evil. You ask a convicted felon, and he'd say, " I didn't do it."

Justice grinds sooooo slowly in this part of Asia.
