MANILA–As formal charges have been filed against 21 residents of sitio San Roque in Quezon City, urban poor group Kadamay condemned what it called as “punishment against the poor.”
The 21 were arrested April 1 while queuing up for assistance outside their community. Since the imposition of the Metro Manila-wide lockdown until the time of the arrest, residents of San Roque did not receive any help from the national and local government.
