Malacañang on Friday urged those behind the abandoned caskets found along roads in several parts of Metro Manila to coordinate with the government to air their concerns instead of causing public alarm and disorder. Claire Castro emphasized that the people have the right to expression, but such acts do not help the country. “Sa mga gumagawa ng mga ganitong bagay, hindi po kayo pinipigilan sa inyong freedom of expression. “Kung kayo ay makabayan, makipagtulungan po kayo sa ating pamahalaan para matugunan ang inyong mga issues. The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), meanwhile, condemned the placement of the caskets bearing an anti-Chinese message in parts of Metro Manila.
