Veteran journalist Karen Davila reacted on what transpired during the burial of River, the baby of political detainee Reina Mae Nasino.
Davila questioned how Nasino was treated during the burial, where she was surrounded by over 40 jail officers during her last moments with her child.
“Hindi po siya convicted criminal. Hindi po siya drug trafficker. Aktibista lang po siya,” said Davila. “Bakit ganito kalupit… sa kapwa Pilipino pa?!”
Hindi po siya convicted criminal. Hindi po siya drug trafficker.
