44 Addressing Inequality During the Pandemic 175 About two (2) in every five (5) families (41.1%) used the internet in the last six (6) months ( January to June 2020). NCR (66.6 %) had the highest percentage of families who used the internet, followed by CALABARZON (62.9%). On the other hand, BARMM (10.3 %) posted the lowest percentage of families using the internet 155 176 Instances of illegal demolition have been reported by Region III. One case involves the impending demolition of the shelter of fisherfolk communities living in or nearby the site of the proposed New Manila International Airport.156] The regional office, in the conduct of community-based dialogue with the affected communities, noted that the latter manifested that they will voluntarily demolish their houses upon receipt of the Php 250,000.00 which the contractor, San Miguel Corporation, assured them. But the sole concern of the residents was proper relocation. Another case of illegal demolition was docketed in the same office and it is pending investigation.157 177 One notable issuance last semester with respect to the right to security of tenure was the issuance of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Memorandum Circular No. 2020-0683. The Memorandum directed all local government units to postpone all demolition and eviction activities and to ensure that all homeless citizens within their respective jurisdictions are properly accommodated. The Memorandum states that it shall be automatically rescinded after the State of Calamity has been lifted by the President of the Philippines.158 However, in Region 11, the validity of court demolitions vis-a-vis Memorandum Circular 2020-0683 was challenged. Based on the legal opinion of the Davao City Legal Office presented by the sheriffs, court demolitions are not covered by DILG Memorandum 2020-068 which suspended the conduct of administrative demolitions while the country is under a State of Calamity due to COVID-19.159 155 Philippine Statistics Authority.
