In light of the issue of red-tagging of the first community pantry on Maginhawa Street in Quezon City, the Pasay City Police on the other hand commended the organizers of such project in the city.
In a text message, Pasay City Police Chief Cesar Paday-os said that the intention of community pantries is “commendable” as it “reflects the spirit of bayanihan” and
“pagmalalasakit sa kapwa (helping those in need)”.
“The PNP and LGUs (local government units) would just ensure to maintain order and observance of health protocols in areas where they are located,” he said.
“Lagi pa rin natin iisipin na maski gaano kaganda ang intensyon ng isang programa, lagi lang isaalang-alang ang kapakanan ng bawat mamamayan lalo sa pag-iwas sa pagkakahawa sa COVID-19 (Let’s always take into consideration the health and welfare of everyone, whatever program we are creating),” he added.
