The Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP) on Wednesday backed the initiative of private citizens to distribute free food items and other essentials to the poor amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a statement, IBP president Domingo Cayosa said such an initiative should be praised and not be a subject of profiling by the authorities.
“No law is violated when one feeds the hungry and helps the needy survive in this pandemic. Community pantries should be praised, not profiled; replicated, not red-tagged; supported, not stopped,” he said.
Cayosa issued the statement following reports of alleged red tagging and profiling of some organizers by police officers in some parts of Metro Manila.
