Police Says Kadamay Infiltrates Taal Evacuation Centers to Get Free Food
Local authorities in Tanauan warned opportunists Kadamay and other groups of serious consequences if they try to take the Taal incident for granted after around 370 people from different parts of Bulacan and Pampanga disguised as Taal victims just to get free food.
On Tuesday, the local DSWD workers and other volunteers reported that unidentified group of people and non-Batangas residents mixed themselves to the struggling victims inside Sto Tomas and Tanauan evacuations centers just to get free food.
"Nagtaka po kami dahil hindi po tyally ang headcount namin sa masters list ng evacuees na sinubmit ng kada baranggay. Meron pong almost 100 na variance dito sa Brgy 4, tapos sa City Gym meron din pong mor ethan 100. May isang grupo po na sabi nila galing sila ng volcano island pero nong tanungin ang kapitan ng San Luuis di po kilala.", Mercedes Babsay, a local volunter who is taking care of the registration told the media on Tuesday.
It was later confirmed that a group of Kadamay from Caloocan and Bulacan has infiltrated the area in order to get free food for days, Tanauan Police said.
members of military and police have reportedly told the group to leave because "they have no business here".
"Hindi po natin lubos maisip kung anong isip mayroon ang mga taong ito. Ang focus po natin ngayon ay sa siguridad ng mga biktima at ang mga insidenteng ganito ay pampadagdag lang ng problema. Lahat po ng nasa evacuation centers ay registered at identified ng kanilang kapitan at mga kapitbahay at ang sinumang gumawa dito sa Kadamay ay may kalalagyan", PNP spokeman Col. Diosdado Carpio told the media during a press conference yesterday.
Carpio said the police and military have already told the group to go away but some are insisting that they are also victims.
