QCPD chief asked to explain 'red-tagging' of Maginhawa pantry organizer
The Quezon City People's Law Enforcement Board (QC PLEB) has formally asked the Quezon City Police District (QCPD) to explain its alleged red-tagging of the Maginhawa community pantry.
The QC PLEB, which holds erring cops accountable, specifically requested an explanation regarding the QCPD's use of its Facebook page to perpetuate red-tagging.
This action follows the temporary halt of the Maginhawa community pantry's operations due to safety concerns raised by its organizer, Patricia Non.
The community pantry has since reopened after Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte provided assistance and the QCPD issued a formal apology.
As of April 21, the QC PLEB has not yet received a response from the QCPD to their inquiries, despite follow-ups.
