00:19This will not happen, ma'am, because the subject of our Oplan-Katok is the guns that were licensed and it has LTAF.
00:29But their firearms licenses have expired, so it is not intended that anyone will be shot and attacked.
00:37This is the defense of the Philippine National Police, PNP, to Comandant-Chairman George Erwin Garcia
00:42after he said that Oplan-Katok could be abused by the Philippine National Police during the election.
00:48The PNP spokesperson and PRO3 Regional Director of Police Brigadier General Jane Fajardo said that
00:53the PNP's operation is a regular function.
00:56The PNP has been doing this for a long time and it has not only started the 2025 national and local elections.

01:12Another shooting incident was recorded in Region 12, where the victim is said to be a supporter of the candidate councilor.
01:20We will find out if it is validated that he has filed a certificate of candidacy, but since he is a known supporter of a councilor
01:33who is running for the 2025 election, he is included in the parameters of being a supporter of a candidate.
01:41Two malicious mischiefs in Region 2 and Region 6.
01:45Two vehicular accidents in Region 6, where the victim is an alcalde and an oral defamation.
01:50Fajardo said that the incidents that were recorded will be validated to find out if it can be counted as a validated election-related incident.
02:01We have to wait for at least 10 days and we will be expecting official reports from the regional validation committee
02:10to determine whether or not these seven incidents that were recorded in the past few days may be classified as validated election-related incidents.
02:19It will be included in the parameters to be counted as a validated election-related incident if it happened during the election period
02:28and if the victim or suspect is a candidate, family of the candidate, supporters or Comelec officials.
