LOOK: On the day of Baby River's funeral, human rights groups say up to 20 police officers are surrounding La Funeraria Rey in Pandacan, Manila, barring people from entering and visiting her wake. (: Karapatan) | @MBMinkaTiangco

The cops claimed that Reina Mae Nasino's family asked them to be there and only allow family members inside. But the rights groups said Nasino's kin denied this, saying that they are also being "harassed" inside the funeral parlor. | @MBMinkaTiangco

LOOK: A SWAT vehicle has also arrived at the funeral home. (: Kapatid) | @MBMinkaTiangco

Rights groups said police have already formed a barricade from La Funeraria Rey up to Manila North Cemetery, where River will be laid to rest. Militant groups are expected to stage a demonstration to call for justice for what happened to Nasino and her child. | @MBMinkaTiangco

Kapatid Spokesman Fides Lim tells police to back off to let Nasino mourn in peace. | @MBMinkaTiangco

Lim: She lost a lifetime rearing up a child so do not rob her of this only chance to be with her. Let Reina Mae grieve in peace without police interference. Respect her rights, including those of her family and those sympathizing with her in this time of sorrow. | @MBMinkaTiangco

Lim: We hope that what transpired last Wednesday will not happen today. You only bury your dead once. If Reina Mae wants to tightly embrace her child’s casket, let her do so. If she wants to hug her family to seek comfort, let her do so. | @MBMinkaTiangco

LOOK: Situation at the Manila North Cemetery, where Baby River will be laid to rest. Brig. Gen. Rolando Miranda, Manila Police District director, said 20 police officers are deployed at La Funeraria Rey while 80 cops are assigned at the cemetery. (: Kapatid) | @MBMinkaTiangco

Miranda on number of cops of deployed: Actually, kulang pa 'yon, pero ayaw naman namin maging OA. | @MBMinkaTiangco

Miranda says police were deployed ensure order and physical distancing will be observed.

"Kung walang pulis, walang order. Gusto niyo ba ng magulo?" he said. | @MBMinkaTiangco

Miranda also said the activists who went to River's wake on Wednesday were the ones who started the commotion.

"Ang pulis, hindi magsisimula ng gulo 'yan, tandaan mo 'yan," he said. | @MBMinkaTiangco

Miranda asks activists to respect the solemnity of River's funeral.

"Libing lang ng bata, bakit kailangan may nagr-rally?" he asked. "'Wag nilang bastusin 'yung libing nung bata." | @MBMinkaTiangco

River's body is now en route to Manila North Cemetery. But Kapatid says the funeral car carrying her remains sped off, leaving her kin behind. | @MBMinkaTiangco

LOOK: Nasino's kin and counsels, as well as militant groups, were not able to conduct a caravan around the Supreme Court and Court of Appeals after police speedily brought River's body directly to Manila North Cemetery. (: Kapatid) | @MBMinkaTiangco

Kapatid: Ito ay libing. Dapat na ang pamilya ang masunod. Walang karapatan ang mga pulis na kumuntrol sa ganitong gawain at lalong wala silang karapatan na itakbo ang bangkay ng isang sanggol na ipinagluluksang lubos ang pagpanaw. | @MBMinkaTiangco

Kapatid slams police for "cruelty" in handling Baby River's remains, accusing them of controlling the funeral and trying to use up Nasino's three-hour furlough. | @MBMinkaTiangco

Kapatid: This is cruelty! A grieving family was earlier harassed by the police and now, they took the remains of River away from them. Saan ka nakakita na ang pulis ang kumukontrol sa isang libing? | @MBMinkaTiangco

Kapatid: Ito ay libing. Dapat na ang pamilya ang masunod. Walang karapatan ang mga pulis na kumuntrol sa ganitong gawain at lalong wala silang karapatan na itakbo ang bangkay ng isang sanggol na ipinagluluksang lubos ang pagpanaw. | @MBMinkaTiangco

Kapatid said Marites Asis, Nasino's mother, had to kneel before the police to allow them to hold the funeral at 11:30 a.m., the original schedule. Police wanted to delay the burial until 1 p.m. | @MBMinkaTiangco

Marites Asis, Reina Mae's mother, on the number of deployed police officers: Si Baby River ay hindi ginto. Tao siya. Bakit ang dami niyo? Wala akong kinakalaban. Sobra na kayo. ‘Di porke’t mahirap lang kami at walang malaking pangalan. | via @MBMinkaTiangco
