THE Philippine Commission for the Urban Poor (PCUP) has asked the Public Attorney's Office (PAO) to extend free legal services to informal settler families facing demolition cases.

PCUP Commissioner Andre Niccolo Tayag, supervising head for Luzon, last week visited PAO's central office in Quezon City in a bid to forge a memorandum of agreement to formalize a partnership in providing services to indigent Filipinos.
