The Commission on Human Rights has slammed the “unjustified” and “aggressive” apprehension of a small vendor by the Parañaque Task Force, calling the act “deeply concerning” as it degraded the rights of the vendor.In a video that went viral on social media, five members of the said task force were seen aggressively manhandling the vendor, Warren Villanueva, who was holding on to his cart — his main utility for selling.
The CHR welcomed and lauded the swift action of Parañaque City Mayor Edwin Olivarez to suspend and file administrative cases against the five members of the task force in order to ensure that such acts of abuse will not take place again. For the CHR’s part, its investigation team has already been dispatched to look into the incident and provide needed intervention.
