In her five-page resolution, Assistant City Prosecutor Kristine Ria Cirilo said she did not find probable cause to charge the protesters, who are members and allies of the LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, queer) community, for alleged violations of Batas Pambansa Blg. 880 or The Public Assembly Act of 1985, Article 151 of the Revised Penal Code, and Republic Act No. 11332 or the Mandatory Reporting of Notifiable Diseades and Health Events of Public Health Concern Act.
Despite the protesters’ lack of permit to stage the Pride demonstration, Cirilo said the court can not penalize the protesters because the police failed to identify the leader or organizer of the rally.
