00:00Comelec is not in favor of the PNP's off-land katok during the election period.
00:05The PNP has been doing this program for a long time,
00:09which is a crackdown against illegal arms.
00:11Marisol Abdurrahman reports.
00:16For hundreds of years, the PNP has been using the so-called off-land katok.
00:20They are selling their homes to the owners of guns and arms
00:24in order to get the license renewed or to give it up to those who are not registered.
00:29According to the PNP, as of December 31,
00:32the firearms and explosives division has issued more than 600,000 notices
00:36to renew the license of the gun owners.
00:39Now that it's the election period and the gun ban is in effect,
00:42383 firearms have been confiscated by the PNP as of January 27.
00:47But the Comelec violated the off-land katok during the election period.
00:51I'm sorry if there's anything we can do, for example, our PNP.
00:55But that is not sanctioned by the Comelec, and that may be, at this point, illegal.
01:00The Comelec's gate should not be the reason for the election
01:04so that human rights will be violated.
01:06The Comelec is suspending not only the license,
01:10but also the permit to carry outside the residence.
01:13The two units are always in combination.
01:15So, if it's inside the house, it won't come out. There's no violation.
01:19The PNP defended.
01:21As part of the regulatory power and authority of the PNP,
01:25particularly if we have expired licenses,
01:31the part of the intervention we do is to go to those who have expired licenses.
01:39Even prior to the start of the election period, we are already doing it.
01:44The Comelec continued to print balots,
01:47including the names of 10 aspirants who obtained a temporary restraining order from the Supreme Court
01:54to print more than 70 million balots,
01:57and to meet the target of 1.5 million balots per day for more than 24 hours of printing.
02:03If it's higher, it's better for our part because we will remember
02:10that we can't just print as fast as possible
02:15because it's very difficult for those who are verifying to leave.
02:21Now, if it's 2 million, it's a good news if it's 2 million.
02:25The Comelec issued a notice to the Supreme Court
02:28to continue the ballot printing even though there are petitions in the court.
