After revoking the licenses of his firearms, the Philippine National Police has ordered the recall of the policemen detailed as security for Negros Oriental 3rd District Rep. Arnulfo Teves.
On Jan. 25, the PNP, through its Firearms and Explosives Office, issued a statement regarding the revocation of licenses of long and shot firearms registered to Teves. “During one of the regular inspections and audits conducted on gun holders, it appeared that spurious documents were submitted by Rep. Teves in support of his application for firearm license,” it added.“No one is exempted from our enforcement of the law. Our implementation is always fair and judicious in accordance with existing laws and regulations. This only manifests that we are serious in our thrust to account for loose firearms in all parts of the country,” said Lucas.
Maranan told the Manila Bulletin that the PNP has been purging its list of gun holders since 2019, wherein the FEO revoked 240 firearm licenses and confiscated 684 firearms registered under licenses which were found to be involved in various violations and crimes over the past four years.
