00:00One of the most important gun bans in this election period.
00:04That is the latest call of the Philippine National Police to the public regarding the gun ban.
00:09In the program Mike Abby Live,
00:11said the PNP Spokesperson Brigadier General Jin Fajarto,
00:15that despite their repeated reminders,
00:19there are still those who carry guns even though they are not exempted based on the Comlec.
00:24According to their data, this January 21,
00:27more than 270 guns were confiscated.
00:31Most of those were from Metro Manila, Region 3, and Region 7.
00:36Fajarto added,
00:38even if the PNP Chief does not replace them,
00:40the preparation of the Philippine National Police will not change
00:44in order to ensure security in the upcoming elections in May.
00:48Meanwhile, when it comes to manhunt operations,
00:52against the former Bureau of Corrections Director General Gerald Bantag,
00:57Fajarto said,
00:58the police will not stop until the former official is caught.
01:04Your direction to the police is again,
01:07your cooperation is declining,
01:09especially to those who are violating our gun ban
01:12and putting and respecting our checkpoints there.
01:17Let's just cooperate.
01:19What Sir Mike mentioned earlier is correct.
01:21This is what the Comlec ordered us to do
01:26to ensure that we will have a safe and peaceful election.
01:31Not only that,
01:32every day, the Philippine National Police will ensure
01:36that we monitor our anti-criminality efforts,
01:41especially in crime-prone areas,
01:43so that we will not be exposed to petty crimes.
01:47We are ready, Sir Mike,
01:48to respond to the call of our citizens
01:51to ensure that we will have a peaceful,
01:55credible and secure election in May.
