Senator Risa Hontiveros on Thursday, April 22, filed a resolution condemning the harassment and red-tagging by national government officials and law enforcement authorities against private citizens who organized and conducted community pantries.

Hontiveros said state agents’ “heavy-handed” tactics against community pantries are not just undemocratic but “they also punish Filipinos who are already suffering because of the pandemic and who desperately need the lifeline extended by these community pantries.”

In filing Senate Resolution No. 705, the opposition senator urged the Executive branch to ensure the safety and protection of community pantry organizers inasmuch as they provide invaluable service to communities during the pandemic. “Community pantry is a response to the urgent needs of Filipinos for food. It creates a platform for civic-minded citizens to express solidarity with those in need,” she pointed out.

The senators — Hontiveros, Franklin Drilon, Nancy Binay, Sherwin Gatchalian, Francis Pangilinan, Grace Poe, Ralph Recto, Leila de Lima — condemned the social media posts of the NTF-ELCAC and police who tried to solicit personal information from the organizers.
