Development Aggression and Other Challenges

During the early phase of construction of New Clark City, goons and guns became an almost normal sight for the locals as large trucks and machines started to tear through and flatten their rice paddies.

Multiple physical encounters have occurred between the farmers and the security sent by BCDA as the farmers attempted to deter equipments from getting into their paddies and farm lands.
