00:00It is expected that the implementation of gun bans and checkpoints will start on Sunday
00:06at the start of the first day of the election period.
00:09If the Commonwealth and PNP are sure,
00:12the public should not be afraid of the underground checkpoints in the country.
00:18Sandra Aguinaldo has the story.
00:19Early on Sunday, checkpoints will be familiar again on the streets of the country
00:30because this is the start of the election period.
00:32Here, the Commonwealth will have the power to implement gun bans and checkpoints
00:37in accordance with the national and local elections in May.
00:40To avoid confusion, the Commonwealth and the police insisted that the checkpoints should not be feared.
00:47It has a marked vehicle, it has signage where the team leader's name is written.
00:53The people who are in charge of the checkpoints are properly uniformed.
00:56There are nameplates.
00:58And it's in a well-lighted area at night.
01:00As part of the motorists, everyone is asked to help when the authorities ask for it.
01:07At night, when we approach the checkpoints, we turn off the headlights.
01:12Then we turn on the cabin lights.
01:14If we cooperate, there will be no problem here.
01:17A reminder from the Automobile Association of the Philippines,
01:20there are only a few simple questions that should be asked in this situation.
01:24The vehicle does not need to go down.
01:26The passengers and the driver cannot get in.
01:31Because the main purpose is one or two questions.
01:35The basic engagement, where are you from?
01:37Where are you going?
01:38Where are you going?
01:39Where are you going?
01:41If you cannot answer the basic question, you will escalate the conversation to say,
01:46it looks like you're hiding something.
01:48The authorities can inspect your vehicle, but this is limited to what their eyes can see,
01:55or the so-called Plainview Doctrine.
01:57When the checkpoint is implemented, we will just check the Plainview Doctrine.
02:01We will just apply it.
02:02We will see if there are things that we can see that are prohibited,
02:06the illegal items there, such as guns.
02:09If there is nothing, we will not require them to open the compartment,
02:12to open the trunk, so that we can find it.
02:15Aside from that, if there is a sufficient reason for him to be alarmed
02:19because of the unusual movement,
02:21and if there is information from the authorities about him.
02:25If the authorities will check, they will be careful in following the regulations.
02:30We need the people there to report,
02:33to tell us what other adjustments we should do.
02:37If there is traffic or if you are being disturbed,
02:39please forgive us. This is all for you.
