Vice President and opposition leader Leni Robredo does not agree with President Duterte’s order to arrest people who are not wearing their face masks.

“I don’t understand why our default is to arrest people,” Robredo said in Filipino during her Sunday radio show.“Don’t say that for those with the smallest infractions but there are other bigger personalities that have a worse infraction, right, but they were not arrested. It’s a wrong response,” she added.

Sinas and Pimental barely got a slap in the wrist while Yap and his celebrity-friends were only fined P1,500 each for the violation of the country’s health and safety protocols. “The correct response to it is to educate them. Educate them how to use it,” Robredo said. “It doesn’t help that our default is to arrest.”

We are so used to letting people go so there is no discipline and respect for the law. All officials should clamor for and demand reapect and observance of the law especially now
