Kung sapat ang ayuda, wala sanang community pantries,&quot; sabi ni dating Vice President Jejomar Binay.</p><p>&quot;We are deeply enraged and alarmed over reports of police intimidation and profiling of organizers of community pantries, which have sprouted in various areas in the absence of a comprehensive and sufficient cash aid program by the Duterte regime,&quot; sabi ng Gabriela party-list.</p><p>&quot;Community pantries are Bayanihan in action and in spirit. Leave them be. Leave them alone. They are not violating any laws. Their Bayanihan is an expression of the sovereign will of the Filipino people. The organizers of and donors to community pantries are civic-minded, charitable, good samaritans,&quot; ani ACT-CIS party-list Rep. Jocelyn Tulfo. </p><p>&quot;Why are you terrorizing those showing solidarity and concern for our poor people? Kasalanan na ba ang pagiging gutom dahil sa kapabayaan ng pamahalaan? Krimen na ba ang pagtulong sa mga nagugutom na mga kababayan natin?&quot; tanong naman ni Bayan Muna Rep. Carlos Isagani Zarate. </p><p>&quot;Hindi na nga sila tumutulong pero namemerwisyo pa. Nangre-red tag pa. Sila po ang mapapahiya sa ating mga kababayan. Sila &#x27;yung nakikitang walang tinutulong pero sila pa &#x27;yung nakikitang naninira,&quot; ani Kilusang Mayo Uno secretary general Jerome Adonis.</p><p>&quot;It is thus concerning that this initiative, as well as the other community pantries that have followed, are under the threat of profiling and surveillance by local law enforcement authorities and are subject to red-tagging across various accounts in social media,&quot; sabi ni Commission on Human Rights spokesperson Jacqueline de Guia. </p><p>Matapos ang pagbatikos, humingi na ng paumanhin ang QCPD at sinabing handa silang makipagtulungan sa community pantries.</p><p>&quot;The QCPD expresses sincere apology particularly to the affected party for the inconvenience that the inadvertent post could have caused and reassured of her safety and protection. We are now reaching out with the organizer/outlet manager as the QCPD is very much willing to support the noble cause especially in this time of pandemic.&quot;</p><p>Sa kabila ng isyu, patuloy pa rin ang paglaganap ng community pantries sa iba&#x27;t ibang lugar sa bansa. </p><ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/04/20/21/group-takes-all-in-one-go-from-pasig-community-pantry-organizers-unfazed">Group takes all in one go from Pasig community pantry, organizers unfazed</a></li></ul><p>Sabi ni Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra, hindi na dapat pinakikialaman pa ang mga organizer ng community pantry lalo&#x27;t pagtulong naman ang layunin nito.</p><p>&quot;A person voluntarily doing an act of kindness and compassion toward his neighbor should be left alone. It is not proper for law enforcement agents to interrogate him unless there is reason to believe that he is violating any law, ordinance, rule or regulation for the good or welfare of the community,&quot; ani Guevarra.</p><div><strong>—Ulat nina Jervis Manahan at Mike Navallo, ABS-CBN News</strong></div>
