As reported by CNN Philippines, 20 protesters and other assistance were arrested for staging a rally without government permit. This enflames reactions on Twitter Philippines bombarded by various celebrities, reporters and influencers.

On her twitter account, the ‘Love thy Woman’ actress, Kim Chiu writes, “Ang hirap ng sitwasyon ng mga tao ngayon. Papasok na ang 3rd week of the community quarantine. Hindi dapat hulihin or bugbugin ang kailangan kausapin, they will not be doing those things kung nabibigyan sila ng tamang atensyon and support from the local government.”

Defending the protesters, Kim added, “Seeing this, sila ang padre de pamilya ng bahay nila. Sila ang incharge ng mag provide ng pagkain sa bahay nila. Paano na ang asawa at anak nila kung huhulihin pa sila. The local govt has to do something about this.”

Marvin Agustin, an actor and entrepreneur tweeted, “Tulungan hindi hulihin. Makinig at i-address ng tama at makatao ang hinain. Sino ba gusto lumabas kung may makakain sa kanilang bahay? Hindi lakas kundi puso ang kailangan sa panahon ngayon” mentioning the official page of QCGov and officialqcmayor to call for the official government’s attention.

ABS-CBN Actor Enchong Dee engaged in the thread pens, “If our govt won’t act fast, no one can stop a starving population from looting, rallying, or fighting for what they deserve. It’s only a matter of time. Not being a pessimist but we’ve seen this incident happen all over the world. Govts exist to fully serve the people.” Ending it with a hashtag #ideally.

Broadcast Journalist, Young Global Leader and World Economic Forum advocate, Karen Davila quotes, “Hindi po sila kriminal. Sila ay gutom. Nangangailangan ng tulong. Ito ang dahilan kung bakit dapat ilabas na ang cash assistance ng gubyerno. Kailangan na tao. Hindi bukas. Ngayon.”

Another tweet from Anne Curtis-Smith, an ABS-CBN Actress/Host and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador says, “They need help now, more than ever. Gutom sila… they were left with no choice.. and I’m sure doing this for their own families that they have to feed.. Sana bigyan to ng pansin at agapan na kaagad ng gubyerno” wherein another ABS-CBN actress, Ivana Alawi commented, “Sobrang sakit makita. parang sa movie lang.”

These reactions were not just sources of negative comments but power of call for the local government officials to see justice especially in this disastrous times.
