Militant group members will be rearrested if they defy ECQ rules -- DILG
The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) condemned the Anakpawis group for allegedly violating Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) protocols.
Six Anakpawis members were arrested for organizing a mass gathering disguised as a relief distribution operation, which is a violation of ECQ rules.
The group reportedly used an unauthorized food pass and name-dropped a former representative to bypass checkpoints.
Authorities confiscated propaganda materials, indicating the group's intention was a propaganda activity.
The arrested Anakpawis members were charged and released on bail for violating RA 11332 and other laws.
Former Anakpawis Representative Ariel Casilao also posted bail for usurpation of authority.
DILG Secretary Eduardo Año warned that militant group members will be rearrested if they continue to break quarantine rules and vowed they will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
