MANILA, Philippines – Vice President Leni Robredo urged the police not to resort to violence when implementing the rules of the lockdown during the coronavirus pandemic.on Monday, April 27, that cops need to be"strict" yet"compassionate" in going after lockdown violators. "Mayroon rin talagang matitigas iyong mga ulo, at tingin natin kailangan talaga istrikto iyong enforcement. Pero sana hindi siya humahantong sa karahasan," tRobredo noted that there have been cases when the arrest of a violator led to more harm than good. She said some Filipinos, like those taking care of the sick who are in need of medicines or immediate treatment, have no choice but to break quarantine rules.
"Iyong pag-aaresto kasi minsan, parang iyong effect nito mas grabe pa sa sinusubukan nating i-prevent. Halimbawa, may inaresto na maraming abala sa kanya kasi lumabas siya para maghanap ng gamot para sa kanyang maysakit na family member. Dapat mas maging compassionate, dapat may flexibility iyong lahat,", a former military man who was shot dead by Police Master Sergeant Daniel Florendo Jr for supposedly breaking quarantine rules in Quezon City.
