One week after a violence-marred demolition that saw more than 20 injured, several residents continued to defy authorities by maintaining their shanties along Agham Road in Quezon City.

At least 50 shanties were still standing at the center island of Agham Road as of 4 a.m. Monday, radio dzBB's Allan Gatus reported.

While many of the families in the area had agreed to be relocated to Rizal, others chose to stay since their place of work was nearby, the report said.

On the other hand, the report said some militant groups urged the residents to think twice before relocating and to consider if their relocation sites have the basic amenities.

Last week, violence marred the demolition of the shanties, where residents threw objects ranging from rocks to bags with excrement at the demolition team.

Almost one ton of explosives inserted into 1,500 drilled holes were used on Sunday to raze the so-called "AfE Turm" ("AfE Tower"), standing at 116 meters (381 ft).

Police estimate that more than 10,000 people gathered in the center of Germany's financial hub Frankfurt to watch the spectacular demolition. The building is the highest-ever in Europe to have been demolished using explosives.

Explosives expert Eduard Reisch was in charge of blowing up the 50,000-ton skyscraper, which was completed in 1972.

"It is almost 100% possible to blow up such a building without hurting people or neighboring buildings," Reisch said before the explosion. Barriers of up to six-meters-high (6.6 yards) were erected around the skyscraper to prevent any damage to nearby constructions.

Water canisters, each containing 1,000 liters (264 gallons), were blown up along with the building to stop too much dust being produced. The whole area was sealed off, with 500 security helpers in attendance.

The AfE Tower until recently housed facilities of the department of social sciences and education at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University. It was briefly the tallest building in Frankfurt.

Two new high-rise office buildings are to be constructed on the site.
