She will be brought for inquest before city prosecutors of Manila. The Department of Justice did not suspend inquest proceedings during the Luzon lockdown.to give relief to those who may be apprehended during the lockdown.

At least for now she will not live in the streets.And that for sure she will be given food to eat.With her age I think authorities will give her the privilege of being a Senior Citizen.God bless to all of us.

sana po you treat her well while she's in jail, remember she has nowhere to go. better yet refer her to dswd's care instead of filing case against her... thank you

Ibalik kung san yan nakatira. Baka nakipagsapalaran lang yan sa Manila.

iuwi nlng yan sa kanilang bahay, may bahay yan at umalis

Give her a break please. Homeless...She probably hasn’t had a decent meal in a long time.

I hope they find her a home so she wouldn’t be living on the streets, especially now that there’s a lockdown. Maybe she did disobey, but how can she pay the fine when she’s jobless?
