Re: Alleged Punishment imposed by a barangay chairman in Pampanga to curfew violators involving LGBT members during
ECQ.
There were eight (8) curfew violators who were caught by barangay volunteers. They were brought to the barangay hall. Out of the eight curfew violators,
three (3) are members of LGBT community and one minor, a fifteen year old.
At the barangay hall, the 3 LGBT were ordered to kiss each other and do a sexy dance in front of the minor who is one of the curfew violators. But before
doing the kissing, they were ordered to do TIK TOK but they did not follow due to humiliation. They were ordered to do 20 push-ups. While the other violators
received other types of punishments. The said order was documented in a Facebook live video of the barangay chairman.
On April 6, 2020, the barangay captain posted a video showing apology to all curfew violators who underwent different punishments for breaching quarantine
protocols due to said video which went viral.
Presently, the undersigned sent messages to two of the victims on their Facebook account via messenger but failed to receive any reply from them to validate
the incident.
