The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) downplayed a suggestion by one of its undersecretaries to arrest individuals who line up way before their scheduled claiming time in supplemental aid distribution centers.
In an interview with DZBB on April 13, Interior Undersecretary Martin Diño warned that eager
ayuda recipients may be violating quarantine protocols.
"
Sabi ko nga sa mga barangay captains, na magbigay kayo ng kupon, tapos nakalagay kung anong oras pupunta sa distribution area. Kapag pumunta nang maaga, arestuhin ninyo kasi na-violate iyong social distancing," Diño said.
