Cops confiscate placards while Mass is ongoing in Quiapo

Police confiscated the placards of some churchgoers while a Mass was ongoing in Quiapo Church in Manila on Monday.

Super Radyo dzBB reporter Isa Umali tweeted a video from the office of Senator Risa Hontiveros showing two policemen getting placards of an individual even though the mass is still ongoing.

In a separate video of GMA News reporter Sandra Aguinaldo, it was seen that the placards were for expressing opposition against the new anti-terrorism law.

Philippine National Police spokesman Police Brigadier General Bernard Banac said he would first check the video as he does not know yet the circumstances of the incident.

GMA News Online has also reached the Manila Police District for comment regarding the incident. — Anna Felicia Bajo/RSJ, GMA News
