By JOVILAND RITA, GMA News Published April 20, 2021 4:00pm The Quezon City Police District (QCPD) on Tuesday apologized to the community pantry organizers over a social media post supposedly red-tagging the volunteers. In a statement, the QCPD said its director, Police Brigadier General Antonio Yarra, does not and will never allow red-tagging. “The QCPD expresses sincere apology particularly to the affected party for the inconvenience that the inadvertent post could have caused and reassured of her safety and protection,” the QCPD said.

Philippines: Organizer Closes Community Pantry amid Accusations of Communist Links

Basilio Sepe/BenarNews A community-run pantry providing free food to the Philippine public amid the COVID-19 pandemic was forced to shut down Tuesday after its founder said she feared for her safety after being accused as a sympathizer of communist rebels. Activist and artist Ana Patricia Non, 26, said she took the action after three police officers approached her and demanded her cellular phone number.  “We’ll temporarily shut down our operations for the safety of our volunteers. This is disheartening because we will be unable to distribute the goods that we prepared the whole day due to red-tagging,” Non said.
