Loose firearms at 610,000 β PNP
MANILA, Philippines – The Philippine National Police (PNP) reported yesterday that the licenses of over 610,000 firearms have already expired and the gun owners would face charges for illegal possession of firearms.
Chief Inspector Nelson Bautista of the PNP Firearms and Explosives Office (FEO) said they have sent letters to gun holders with expired licenses to renew their firearm license.
βA day after the license of your firearm expired and you failed to renew it with FEO, you will be charged with illegal possession of
firearms,β Bautista said in a media forum organized by the PNP Press Corps.
Bautista there are now 1,592,435 registered firearms nationwide.
On orders of Interior and Local Government Secretary Manuel Roxas II, the PNP has intensified the accounting of loose firearms to minimize violence during the May 2013 elections.
βAs of August this year, some 610,156 gun licenses are expired. We have coordinated with some of the gun owners, some have already replied,β Bautista added.
Bautista said that the bulk of guns with expired licenses belonged to private individuals, government entities, local government units and private security agencies.
Under FEO director Chief Superintendent Raul Petrasanta, Bautista said the FEO has started accounting for the firearms with expired licenses by tracing the owners of the guns and obliging them to renew their licenses.
βWe have to do something to account for the expired licenses. First we have to determine who are the owners, so we sent letters to about 3,000 gun holders and most of them responded and worked on the renewal of the registration of their guns,β he added.
He admitted that sending letters to gun owners incurred additional and huge expense to the FEO, thus they tapped the Regional Civil Security Group to do the coordination.
βThe day the license expired, the firearm is considered loose firearms. But we are giving opportunity for holders to renew license the soonest possible time. If the expiration falls on a Saturday or a Sunday, the owner can renew the license on the immediately following regular business day,β said Bautista.
