Double standard sa quarantine nakita sa birthday ni Sinas

DAPAT umanong mahiya sa kanilang mga sarili ang dumalo sa birthday party ni National Capital Region Police Office Chief Debold Sinas.

Sinabi ni Bayan Muna Rep. Ferdinand Gaite na kung ang mga ordinaryong Pilipino ay hinuhuli agad kapag lumabag sa quarantine protocol hindi ganito ang ginagawa kapag nasa kapangyarihan ang gumagawa ng ipinagbabawal.

“Aren’t they ashamed of themselves? First, they were insensitive enough to have a huge birthday party amidst the lockdown. Second, they had the audacity to flaunt it in official social media pages of the PNP, putting in full display their apparent exemption from several lockdown measures including social distancing and prohibition of mass gatherings,” ani Gaite.

Malinaw umano na may double standard na nangyayari sa pagpapatupad ng batas.

“While relief volunteers are quickly arrested and detained for merely distributing food to poor families, PNP Chief Archie Gamboa was quick to cover up his general’s violations and cleared him for any accountability. They can call it what they like, but it was evidently a party, and there were clear violations. Their own photos attest to this.”

Ganito rin ang pananaw ni Gabriela Women’s partylist.

“This brazenly mocks arrested quarantine violators who suffered harsh treatment by the police, as well poor families who have yet to eat decently as the government’s cash aid remains out of sight.”

Sinabi ng Gabriela na si Sinas ang nagsabi na dapat makulong at maparusahan ang mga volunteer sa community kitchen sa Marikina City.

“Now, he is defending his birthday celebration attended by dozens of police officers for supposedly not violating any law. How come a police general can conveniently interpret rules in favor of his birthday celebration while ordinary citizens are hauled to jail for merely feeding the poor? Mass testing ang panawagan ng mamamayan sa gobyerno, hindi mass gathering.”
