Do not ignore what is going on in the Philippines.
An human rights worker named Reina Mae Nasino was jailed and wrongfully accused for owning firearms. She was pregnant by the time she was jailed and gave birth in prison.
At this point, Reina Mae Nasino wasn’t given proper care in prison and was only given one medical visit. Reina gave birth to a girl named River but the lack of prenatal care caused the child to have a low weight and skin discoloration. Nasino also had difficulty breastfeeding her and wasn’t getting any assistance for her child. The counsels asked for the baby to be transferred to a hospital for her care but it was denied by the court.
On October 9, River died due to acute respiratory distress syndrome. She was only 3 months old.
Reina Mae Nasino was supposed to have 3 days to say goodbye but the Court Judge revised it and made it 6 hours, 3 hours for the wake and 3 hours for the funeral. She wasn’t allowed a peaceful grieving as dozens of police and jail guards swarmed the area. On October 14, Reina Mae attended River’s wake in full PPE and handcuffs, surrounded by guards because she was labelled a high profile criminal. The guards tried to cut her time with her child short as they tried to drag her away 2 hours before the visiting time was up. She was also not allowed to take off her handcuffs.
October 16, the day River was to be buried. The funeral wasn’t peaceful or respectful as the police swarmed and guarded the area. The car carrying River sped to the cemetery, not giving time for her family and supporters to catch up. The relatives begged on their knees for the guards to remove Reina’s handcuffs so she can hold her child one last time but they refused.
She wasn’t allowed a peaceful goodbye to her child.
She never even heard her child laugh once.
Reina Mae Nasino is not a criminal. She is a political prisoner and an activist who was treated terribly by the police and the justice system.
They killed her child.
There are over 600+ political prisoners like her in the Philippines that are subject to inhumane treatment due to the Duterte Administration and its disregard for the poor and disenfranchised. Baby River is not the only child who died due to the lack of care by the government.
Activists in the Philippines are getting killed, red tagged and treated as terrorists.
Do not ignore this. We need to be heard.
Yo, im from the Philippines, and apparently you lot dont have facts
She was an NPA, (New Peoples Army), its a communist party here in the Phil. and they live near mountains in the provinces so they wont get caught.
Thats the reason she was blamed for owning firearms
She was part of a Communist Party
She was a Wanted Person for a long time as well,,
AND YES, SHE IS AN ACTIVIST, AN ACTIVIST ON COMMUNISM
Duterte, he grew up in Mindanao, where there are many terrorists around, so obviously he wanted to stop shit like this when he became President
He did anti-drug campaigns (did i spell that right)
You lot dont know how many drug addicts, robbers, and rapists lurking around the streets,,
Why do you think my parents never let me get outside the house??
"Riding in Tandem"s are people in motorcycles who snatch bags from a person
They wont even care if the owner gets dragged across the street
Plenty of kids get kidnapped every year
Accidental fires, sometimes intentional
Not to mention all the cops who are actually siding with drug dealers, or drug dealers themselves
Duterte set drug tests in all of his staff, corrupt mayors went to jail, drug dealers and rapists caught,,
Dont pity this woman just because she was pregnant
She was Pro-Communist, she was Wanted for awhile, i think she deserved it
And dont talk shit about my people, my President, and my country. EVER.
This is why you need the full story...I knew of the communists in the Philippines and the troubles with insurgents. I actually was waiting for the ball drop in the second half, and sure enough it came. Thank you for clarifying that @original-spoopy-cloud. I pray God's grace and mercy for you and your loved ones in these dangerous times.
Jesus christ. @original-spoopy-cloud you must be young and naïve. You should do more research. NPA has been a blanket statements to execute and silence the marginal people.
THE government has been redtagging people who dare disagree with them.
