BACOLOD CITY – The Silay City, Negros Occidental Police Station is open for an investigation by the Commission on Human Rights (CHR) on the parade of violators of COVID-19 health protocols in the city last week.
Police Major Rollie Pondevilla, city police chief, said they see no problem if they will be investigated, adding that they had not violated any rights of the violators.
A video posted on Facebook caught the attention of the CHR after the Silay police paraded 39 violators, who were caught not wearing face masks, last Thursday.
These violators walked while raising their arms forward as if they were zombies from the police station to the covered court, where a seminar was held to remind them about the strict observance of the health protocols.
