00:15The Philippine National Police, PNP, has no plans to stop their off-land attacks.
00:20The Commission on Elections, or COMELEC, is still trying to lay out an operational plan and reassess its program before it is implemented during the election period.
00:30COMELEC believes that their candidate may be threatened or used in politics.
00:36But according to PNP chief, Police General Rommel Francisco Marvil, the gun owners have already issued a gun license.
00:44They are only firing guns to remind them that they need to renew their license.

01:46We need to discuss with the chairman because this is our normal police duty.
