Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, March 14) A week after the Bloody Sunday killings in Calabarzon, Vice President Leni Robredo urged members of the judiciary to be extra vigilant when issuing search warrants that are being used in the crackdown on activists.
In her radio show Bisersbisyong Leni on Sunday, she stressed the importance of imposing safeguards on law enforcers during police operations, after nine members of progressive groups were killed and six others were arrested in simultaneous search warrants the previous weekend. Reminder ito sa mga members of the judiciary na nagbibigay ng search warrants. Siguraduhin nilang yung ibinigay nila hindi magagamit sa pagpatay, hindi magagamit sa pang-abuso ng kapangyarihan, she said.

Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, March 10) The United Nations expressed alarm over the killing of nine activists and the arrest of six others in CALABARZON region over the weekend. We are appalled by the apparently arbitrary killing of nine activists in simultaneous police-military operations in Batangas, Cavite, Laguna and Rizal provinces surrounding Metro Manila, said UN High Commissioner for Human Rights spokesperson Ravina Shamdasani in a press briefing on Tuesday.
Shamdasani added the violent crackdown could further promote intimidation and red-tagging against activists, citing the Philippine government s record of accusing them of being members of the Communist Party of the Philippines.
