When the head of Quezon City’s Task Force Disiplina publicly posts about shooting to kill quarantine violators, he relinquishes the separation of his private and official life.

When any citizen assumes a public post – and especially one that is at the frontline of this pandemic – everything he says or does is imbued with public interest.

If Mr. Rannie Ludovica, an appointee of Mayor Joy Belmonte, insists that it’s malicious for Rappler to call his words policy, then he should either avoid making irresponsible statements or quit. Quezon City residents need public service, not threats, and they know better.

Otherwise, they would not have called attention to Mr Ludovica's post; their comments were what caught Rappler's attention.

He may want to direct his explanation to them. https://rappler.com/nation/quezon-city-official-ludovica-threatens-shoot-to-kill-mecq-violators
