00:00for the implementation of the Ligtas na Halalan.

00:03This was asked by the leader of the Pambansang Polisya next,

00:07that some are questioning the implementation of the off-land katok against loose firearm.

00:13The chief of the Pambansang Polisya, Rommel Francisco Marvil,

00:18also asked that no one should harass Ryan Lasiga in the center of the news.

00:25No, we need to discuss with the chairman because this is our normal police duty.

00:29And remember, firearms are used for violence.

00:33On Tuesday, the Philippine National Police and PNP were expected to meet in Comelec

00:38to clarify the arguments about the off-land katok.

00:43The PNP said that this is an opportunity for the police to lay down the mechanism

00:48on how the off-land katok should be used and who should be the ones to use it.

00:54Despite this, the PNP insisted that they will not stop their operation against loose firearms.

01:00This is despite the request of Comelec to lay down the operational plan

01:04and reassess its program before it is implemented during the election period.

01:09For the sake of Comelec, it could be a means of intimidation of some candidates

01:14or use it in politics.

01:16But according to the PNP chief, Police General Rommel Francisco Marvil,

01:20the gun owners who have a gun license are being forced to lay down their katok

01:25to remind them that they need to renew their license.

01:29Marvil added that they have a list based on their data system

01:33of who are the expired gun license holders who need to lay down their katok.

01:38He also said that this will not be used in politics and will not be used in harassment.

01:43We only lay down unregistered firearms.

01:47We don't lay down all the firearms.

01:50There are firearms that are not registered because we want to account for them.

01:54If you can't register, we have to get it.

01:56Those are the firearms because there are people there who forget

02:00where the gun is and where the purpose of the katok is.

02:03Despite the request of the PNP chief,

02:05the operation of off-land katok will not be prohibited during the election period.

02:10According to the PNP, they are chasing more than a million firearms

02:14According to the record, the license has already expired.

02:16Since 2024, the PNP Firearms and Explosives Office has issued more than 600,000 notices

02:23for gun owners who have expired gun licenses.

02:27More than 347,000 of these were returned to the revocation of the license

02:32because it has not yet been renewed.

02:34In addition, there are more than half a million notices that need to be submitted

02:39to the owners of firearms.

02:41When their firearms registration expires,

02:44those firearms are already considered as loose firearms.

02:48That's why the number of our loose firearms is floating

02:52because the license holders are adding to it.

02:57From here in Campo Crame, Ryan Lisigues for Pambansang TV in Bagong, Philippines.
