00:00The Philippine National Police, or PNP, plans to meet with the Commission on Elections, or COMLEC,
00:06to clarify concerns about their Oplan Katok, an operation targeting unregistered and expired firearms.
00:13The PNPS insists that the operation will focus only on gun owners with expired licenses,
00:20reminding them to renew their licenses and not interfere with politics or harass citizens.
00:27PNP Chief Romulo Francisco Marbil emphasized that only unregistered firearms will be targeted
00:33and they have a database to identify those with expired licenses.
00:38Since 2024, the PNP has sent over 600,000 notices to gun owners,
00:45with more than 347,000 leading to license revocations.
00:52We are targeting unregistered firearms.
00:55We are not targeting all houses.
00:58There are firearms that are unregistered because we want to account for them.
01:02If they are unregistered, we have to get them.
01:04Those are the firearms.
01:06There are people who forget where the firearms are.
01:09That's the purpose of the Katok.
