The Commission on Human Rights expresses concern on how some authorities are enforcing quarantine protocols against COVID-19.

"Ang general rule sana ang ipatupad ng pamahalaan is not employing a military approach but a humanitarian approach. Dapat nilang maalala na hindi ito peace and order measure kundi health measure," she told radio DZMM, adding that the commission supports government's strict implementation of the enhanced community quarantine.
Punishment should be commensurate to the offense and authorities cannot "invent" penalties that are outside the law and the Constitution, which prohibits torture and inhumane forms of punishment, she said.
