Arrested shortly after an indignation rally on Saturday afternoon were Kyle Salgado, Casey Cruz, Shirley Songalia, Helen Catahay, Jemme Mia Antonio, Miguel Portea, Sweden John Aberde, and Renero Maarat, members of progressive groups in Southern Tagalog region, among them Karapatan, Bagong Alyasang Makabayan, and Gabriela.

Also arrested, but later turned over to the Social Welfare department, were three other activists, who Garduque said were minors. Police Major Noel Valdez, the city deputy police chief, earlier said they only acted in response to complaints about the group “gathering” and holding a rally near the village hall of Pulo.“But had nothing to do with that . We still have a pandemic going on and they violated the quarantine protocol,” Garduque said.
