Published July 27, 2021 8:53am All protest actions and public assemblies staged on the day of President Rodrigo Duterte’s last State of the Nation Address went generally peaceful, Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Police General Guillermo Eleazar said Tuesday. In a statement, Eleazar said no untoward incident was reported in the mass activities. “I am glad that reason prevailed over these groups to peacefully disperse or called-off their activities altogether,” he said. “The best interest of public health and safety, and the rule of law spoke louder than the political undertones of these mass actions in the streets,” he added.

Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, March 14) A week after the Bloody Sunday killings in Calabarzon, Vice President Leni Robredo urged members of the judiciary to be extra vigilant when issuing search warrants that are being used in the crackdown on activists.
In her radio show Bisersbisyong Leni on Sunday, she stressed the importance of imposing safeguards on law enforcers during police operations, after nine members of progressive groups were killed and six others were arrested in simultaneous search warrants the previous weekend. Reminder ito sa mga members of the judiciary na nagbibigay ng search warrants. Siguraduhin nilang yung ibinigay nila hindi magagamit sa pagpatay, hindi magagamit sa pang-abuso ng kapangyarihan, she said.
