Vice President Leni Robredo on Sunday said authorities should teach the public how to properly wear face masks instead of sending them to jail immediately.
President Rodrigo Duterte earlier ordered the police to arrest people who wear their face masks improperly.
"Para sa 'kin, yung multa, 'yun na ang later step. Sa 'kin, mag-warning, turuan. 'Pag matigas talaga ang ulo, isipin ano ang puwedeng penalties na ibigay." "We may be in quarantine due to the pandemic, but rights should not be on lockdown," CHR spokesperson Jacqueline Ann de Guia said, even as she reiterated "the need for everyone to observe health protocols during the pandemic, including the proper wearing of face masks."
