Roque: ECQ not license to violate human rights

Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque emphasized that the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) is not a license to violate human rights.

Roque stated that the government welcomes complaints of human rights violations during ECQ implementation.

He assured that while local government units are enforcing strict measures, they must do so within the rule of law and respect individuals' rights.

The Department of Interior and Local Government will ensure LGUs and PNP uphold human rights while dealing with quarantine violators.

Roque defended LGUs for their efforts in enforcing ECQ rules but acknowledged the need for detailed information on alleged violations to take proper action.
