Malacañang on Thursday warned the public against holding mass protest actions amid the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) pandemic.
In a televised briefing, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said only a gathering of 10 people is allowed in general community quarantine areas.
Roque was reacting to the protest rally at Mendiola Manila on Wednesday where hundreds of rallyists condemned the killing of peasant leader Randall “Randy” Echanis, detention of activist Reina Mae Nasino, and the controversial Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020.
“Ang karapatan ng malayang pananalita ay garantyado ng ating Saligang Batas. Ngayon pa man ang aking pakiusap lang, panahon po ng COVID. Kahit kayo po ay lumalaban at kalaban ng gobyerno, pinangangalagaan namin ang inyong kalusugan,” according to the Palace official.
“Ang pakiusap po, sundin natin, hanggang 10 tao lang po ang pagtitipon tipon dahil ayaw namin kayong magkasakit maski kayo po ay walang ginawa kundi labanan ang gobyerno. Pilipino pa rin po kayo at may obligasyon kami na isalba kayo kung kayo ay magkakasakit,” he added.
