00:00Lolo, who is illegally making and selling guns arrested in Rizal,
00:05Isaiah Mirafuentes is in the center of the news.
00:10These are the various guns and weapons that were caught
00:12from Lolo, who is 67 years old, in Baras, Rizal.
00:16The unlicensed weapons were caught inside his house.
00:20The Rizal PNP carried out a joint operation because of the warrant of arrest.
00:26The information that we received is that the subject is a gunsmith.
00:33He is involved in the production of guns and also in the sale of loose firearms.
00:40Based on the investigation, the way he makes the guns is a DIY process
00:45or he assembles them using his bare hands.
00:48According to the suspect, he does not make guns,
00:52but he just arranges the guns that he does not own.
00:55Actually, those guns, for instance, those revolvers are not functioning.
01:04They are just made for me.
01:06In fact, until now, until they were caught, they are defective.
01:11Not all of them fire.
01:13In fact, it is impossible for them to fire.
01:15He was just left with the guns because the gun owner did not return them.
01:20He is a friend of mine.
01:22Actually, I do not know him that well.
01:25He is a friend of one...
01:28I think he just referred to me.
01:31I do not know him that well.
01:33He has been doing this job for almost two months,
01:36even though he is not trained in arranging guns.
01:39Because of the incident, it is possible that the senior citizen is also involved
01:43because of the gun ban.
01:46But the suspect is not aware of the law.
01:50The confiscated loose firearms are submitted to the forensic unit
01:58for ballistic examination.
02:01And the search warrant will be returned to the court.
02:05It is also known if the senior citizen also sells illegal guns.
02:10Suspects will face multiple charges such as illegal possession of firearms
02:15and violation to omnibus election code.
