Robredo said she is confused why the government is inclined to arrest people, which she said is counterproductive to the country’s fight against COVID-19. | JEMendozaINQ

“Hindi nakakatulong na ang default natin, aresto. Unang una, ang sitwasyon nga sa mga jail natin, grabe. Mag-aaresto ka kasi gusto mong i-protect iyong mga tao, pero lalong counterproductive iyon eh,” she explained.Robredo said people should be reminded and warned instead, and, if they remain uncooperative, violators of health protocols should instead be made to render community service or be made to pay fines.

“Para sa akin, iyong multa, iyon na iyong mas later step. Iyong sa akin, mag-warning, turuan. Kapag matigas talaga iyong ulo, saka isipin kung ano iyong mga puwedeng penalties na ibigay,” she stressed. “Kung matigas talaga iyong ulo, eh ‘di siguro mayroong — gaya ng sabi ni Justice Secretary Guevarra, community service.”Robredo also noted that there are instances where prominent individuals who violated health protocols who were not arrested at all.

“Alam natin na mayroong malalaking tao na mas malalaki din iyong mga naging infraction na hindi naman inaresto.
