Over 300 people are rounded up for violation of bans and ordinances on drinking, smoking, and loitering half naked in public

The QCPD said in a statement on Saturday, June 16, that the arrests were made following the pronouncement of President Rodrigo Duterte and directives from the Philippine National Police headquarters to rid off the streets of 'tambays' (loiterers) in a bid to lessen crime and maintain peace and order."

“(We intensified the implementation of our city ordinances in compliance with the President’s instructions to make our streets safer and more peaceful. I am reminding the public to follow the ordinances because this is for our welfare.),” said Chief Superintendent Joselito Esquivel Jr, QCPD chief.

In a speech before soldiers and cops, Duterte said if loiterers would not go home, he would deal with them himself. “(I’ll take care of it. Put them there. Tie their hands, I’ll throw them into ) –," he said, leaving the last word to the listeners' imagination.

Police arrested almost 3,000 people in Metro Manila the past five days in a renewed crackdown on “tambays” or nighttime idlers violating various ordinances.

PNP chief Dir. Gen. Oscar D. Albayalde said the National Capital Region Police Office arrested a total of 2,981 people from June 13 to 18.

Of these, 944 were arrested for violating curfew hours, 653 for drinking in public, 651 for going half-naked; 456 for smoking in public, 138 for traffic violation, and 139 for various offenses like littering, late-night videoke and urinating in public.

President Rodrigo Duterte on Tuesday slammed the critics of his fresh order for police to round up “tambays” (loiterers), as human rights groups warn of abuse of authority by the police.

“(These human rights groups, don’t tell me what to do. I said round up the loiterers so the public may be able to walk safely at night.)," Duterte said in a speech during the 81st anniversary celebration of the Government Service Insurance System.

Critics have slammed Duterte’s order, saying it was reminiscent of the martial law era in the 1970s.

...

Loitering was a criminal offense under Article 202 of the Revised Penal Code, which defined vagrants as "any person found loitering about public places or wandering about the streets without visible means of support."

Former president Benigno Aquino III in 2012 signed a law decriminalizing vagrancy amid concerns that the Revised Penal Code has been used to justify arbitrary arrests against the poor.

The crackdown on tambays, however, may be violating citizens' right to freedom of movement and creating a culture of fear, said the Commission on Human Rights.

There is no stopping the Philippine National Police (PNP) in rounding up “tambays” or nighttime idlers as it arrested more than 7,000 people for allegedly violating ordinances in Metro Manila during the past week.

From 5:00 a.m. of June 13 to 5:00 a.m. of June 20, 2018, the five districts of the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) arrested as much as 7,291 “tambays” in the past week, its regional director Chief Supt. Guillermo Eleazar said.

This gives an average of 1,042 arrests per day.

[P]olice say roughly 3,000 have been arrested for loitering while violating ordinances on curfews, public smoking, public nudity, and drinking in the streets

President Rodrigo Duterte sought to allay concerns about his order against "tambays" or loiterers, saying that anyway, people are not getting arrested after he issued his directive.

"(My order to police about loiterers, just follow my order. No one is getting arrested.)," he said on Wednesday, June 20.

Since Duterte repeated his order on "tambays" on June 13, police have arrested at least 2,981 people for supposedly loitering in the streets while allegedly violating city ordinances on curfews, public smoking, public nudity, and drinking in the streets.

A group of 6 was also detained by police in Makati City while they were waiting outside their friend's home, raising questions about how authorities would define "tambay" given Duterte's order.

...

In his Wednesday speech, Duterte repeated with gusto his warning against criminals he catches loitering.

"(The streets are not for criminals, you sons of bitches. Don't show yourself because you don't have the right to walk around, and if I see you, I'll seize you and that will be your last stroll.)" said the President.

quote:

Amid widespread criticism that police operations against loiterers or loafers were another antipoor campaign similar to the bloody war on drugs that had killed thousands, an angry President Rodrigo Duterte on Friday said he never ordered the police to arrest “tambay.”

Speaking in Davao City on Friday night, the President, a longtime government prosecutor, said he was aware that loitering was not a criminal offense.

“Those sons of bitches were not listening,” he said, referring to his critics. “I never said, ‘arrested.’ But if you are drinking in the alley, in the squatters area and making a living room out of the road there, you’ll really get nabbed.”

“So that these deranged constitutionalists would know that loitering is not a crime – of course it is not,” the President said.

quote:

President Rodrigo Duterte has ordered the police to “arrest” teenagers loitering on the streets at night.

His latest directive came on Monday night, in the midst of a crackdown against “tambays” or loiterers.

“Below 18, you arrest the teenagers there around loitering because we have to protect our children. Drugs and other illegal stuff are everywhere,’ Duterte said in a speech before the oathtaking of newly-elected village chiefs of Northen Mindanao in Cagayan de Oro.

“You take them into custody not to arrest them, but for their own safety to protect them,” he added. “They are not being arrested for any crime. It’s for their own good that they are arrested.”

Mr. Duterte cited the principle of “parens patriae” in ordering for the arrest of minors, and putting them under government custody.

“We can take custody of the minors to protect them under the principle of parens patriae,” he pointed out.

He also said that his administration’s crackdown against loiterers would continue.

“We call them istambay. That’s the word. That is my order. And you continue to frisk people who are there on the street and that is legal,” he said.

“Until such time, that is my order,” he further told the police.

Duterte stressed that his order against loiterers is legal until the Supreme Court says otherwise.

“That to me is legal until the Supreme Court says it is illegal. Until the Supreme Court says or court says that I cannot do it,” he said.

He told the police not to mind critics and continue doing their jobs.

“Do not believe in the criticisms. Do not read it. It’s none of your business to be reading what they are talking about. It’s our business to follow what we are ordered to do,” he said.

After saying the Church is not part of any destabilization plot, Presidential Spokesman Harry Roque is now not ruling out the possibility that Catholic Church leaders are conniving with communists to oust President Rodrigo Duterte.

"(Maybe many of them do not accept the President so it's not farfetched to say they could unite with the CPP-NPA to oust President Duterte.)," said Roque on Monday, July 2 in Maasin, Southern Leyte.

The CPP is the Communist Party of the Philippines while the NPA is its armed wing, the New People's Army.

President Rodrigo Duterte on Wednesday again hit the Catholic Church, citing what he described to be its “creeping influence” over the society.

In a speech during the 31st founding anniversary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), Duterte expressed misgivings on the “creeping influence of [Catholic] faith” which “sometimes run counter to what the government believes to be good for the people, at least in this temporal life.”

The President said this in the context of his push for artificial family planning, a method disapproved by the Catholic Church. Some 80 percent of Filipinos belong to the faith, and Duterte himself was born and raised a Catholic.

Duterte, as long-time mayor of Davao City, had pushed for the use of artificial birth control methods in managing the city’s population.

The President believes that managing the population is key to ensuring a better life for every Filipinos.

The influential Church had played a big role in the opposition against the Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act of 2012, which was declared constitutional in 2014 by the high court except for some of its provisions.

Duterte had earlier drawn criticism from the Catholic Church for some of his other policies, including the war on drugs, his push for the revival of death penalty, and lowering the age of criminal responsibility.

Tension has been high between Duterte and the Catholic hierarchy and other Christian groups of late after the President called God “stupid” and raised questions about certain Church doctrines and beliefs, such as the story of creation, the concept of heaven and hell, and the Last Supper.

Reeling from the outrage over his controversial remark, the President formed a team to hold a dialogue with leaders of the Catholic Church and other Christian groups.

Duterte is set to meet Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines president Romulo Valles on July 9 in an attempt to ease the friction between the government and the Church.

MANILA—President Rodrigo Duterte on Saturday told his critics not to use God's name in vain against him, citing the separation of Church and State.

In a speech in Davao City, Duterte said Filipinos can criticize him "with all [their] heart's content" but said those in religious sects must not involve God.

"[But] when you are a religious, you have to be something of a neutral [here in your faith] and the government. Because it is really the concept of a Republican system that there is a separation of Church and State. So, when you criticize me, do not use the platform of God," he said.

"Do not do it, do not take God’s name in vain because [when I retaliate, I will include the Lord Jesus Christ in it]. It’s fundamental, it’s almost basic. There is really a clear cut between religion and governance. You cannot use God to criticize me."

Tension has been high between Duterte and the Catholic hierarchy and other Christian groups of late after the President called God “stupid” and raised questions about certain Church doctrines and beliefs, such as the story of creation, the concept of heaven and hell, and the Last Supper.

President Duterte dared anyone who has gone to see God and have a selfie with Him to come back and prove the existence of God.

If this happens, then he would immediately step down from the presidency.

He told more than 1,000 participants at the 2018 National Science and Technology Week celebration held at the SMX Convention Center at SM Lanang Premiere the other night that he never said he does not believe in God.

“I tend to talk a lot about things…I believe in one supreme God…I never said I do not believe in God. I’m not agnostic and I’m not an atheist. I just happen to be a human being believing that there’s a universal mind somewhere which controls the universe,” the President added.

Duterte tackled once again the controversial issue on the existence of God rather than delve on science and technology which, he admitted, is not among his strongest points.

He clarified that what he was questioning is the logic of why is there so much agony, pain and injustice in the world.

“We’ll never really know until maybe God chooses the time for us to know the answer,” he said as he lambasted religions that ask money from people on the pretext of helping other people.

Duterte, who was criticized recently for his comments on religious matters, added that he would step down as the country’s President if someone is able to talk to God in heaven and have a selfie with Him.

“You do that today, one single witness that there is a guy, a human being, who’s able to talk and to see God. Of the so many billions that passed through Earth, I just need one. And if there is one, ladies and gentlemen, I will announce my resignation immediately,” he said.

LUCENA CITY – The New People’s Army (NPA) operating in Quezon province on Tuesday claimed responsibility for the killing of a village chief in San Narciso town.

Cleo del Mundo, spokesperson of the NPA Apolonio Mendoza Command, said a rebel hit squad killed Ruben Carabido in the house of his sibling in Barangay Busok-Busokan around noontime Monday.

In her Facebook post on Tuesday afternoon, Del Mundo said Carabido was gunned down by NPA rebels while watching who among the tenants in one of the big estates he was overseeing would bring out coconuts without permission.

Del Mundo said Carabido was a “legitimate target” of the NPA as he was accused of maintaining armed goons to protect big landlords in the area in cahoots with the police and the military.

Del Mundo charged that Carabido was the alleged brains behind the harassment, intimidation and arrest of militant farmers in the towns of San Narciso and San Andres.

“[The execution of Ruben Carabido is in keeping with the revolution movement's goal of bringing peace to the people from those who are harassing them],” Del Mundo said.

Carabido, chief of Barangay Binay, was shot by a group of at least eight suspects using different firearms.

The victim was fatally hit in different parts of his body and died on the spot.

Police described the suspects as wearing “black shirts with CPP-NPA logo (hammer and sickle).”

CPP stands for Communist Party of the Philippines while NPA refers to New People’s Army, the CPP military wing.
