Pambabato sa bahay ng COVID-19 positive kinondena

KINONDENA ng CIBAC partylist ang pagbato sa bahay ng isang pasyente na nagpositibo sa Iloilo.

Ayon kina House Deputy Speaker Bro. Eddie Villanueva at Rep. Domingo Rivera dapat agad na maaresto ang nasa likod ng pambabato upang maging halimbawa sa iba at hindi na ito gawin.

“It is with grave dismay that we denounce, in strongest terms, such barbaric act of hurling stones to the home and relatives of people infirmed with COVID-19 disease, or any disease for that matter. The perpetrators should be arrested and be dealt with accordingly so as to send a message to the people that we will not tolerate such act,” saad ng Villanueva, lider ng Jesus Is Lord.

Sinabi ni Villanueva na hindi dapat tularan ang ginawa ng mga nambato dahil magdudulot lamang ito ng kaguluhan at panic at magiging dahilan para hindi lumabas ang mga nahawa ng COVID-19.

“The loved ones of people who contracted COVID-19 disease should be treated with utmost compassion, sensitivity and understanding because even they themselves did not wish to be in their situation,” dagdag pa ni Villanueva.

Pinagbabato ang bahay ng isang pamilya sa Lambunao, Iloilo matapos umanong magpositibo sa COVID-19 ang 70-anyos na ina, 48-anyos na anak na babae, 41-anyos na anak na lalaki at 39-anyos na anak na babae.

 “When we resume works in Congress, CIBAC Party-List will push for a bill that will impose stiffer penalties to acts that promote stigma, hate and inflict cruelty to people with dreaded disease. People suffering from any kind of disease deserve to be loved and be understood, not to be vilified and harmed. We will ensure that our laws will deter such degree of discrimination from happening again,” anito.
