00:00A Philippine Air Force official who sells high-caliber guns was found dead in Pasa.
00:05An online sale of a suspect with a 50-round gun was registered.
00:10Marisol Abduraman was the target.
00:15Outside a casino in Pasa, a sniper rifle was sold to a buyer.
00:21But suddenly, there was a commotion.
00:23The sellers heard that the transaction was a police one.
00:27That's why there was a commotion.
00:29The suspect was quite strong.
00:31One of his accomplices suddenly ran away with the sniper rifle.
00:35One of the sellers was arrested.
00:37He was an official of the Philippine Air Force.
00:40We identified the suspect as an Air Force officer with the rank of captain.
00:46Have you verified this already with the AFP?
00:49Yes, ma'am.
00:50Last night, I called one of our contemporaries there,
00:53to the AFP.
00:54It was positive that he was also a human being.
00:57His accomplice ran away.
01:00The suspects were put under a by-bus operation
01:03when the authorities saw their online sale.
01:06We were a bit confused because we know that the gun is high-powered.
01:09Did you know about this?
01:10Yes, ma'am. We took his offer.
01:13We were able to get it through proactive cyber patrolling.
01:19At the same time,
01:20when we checked that it's a loose firearm,
01:26that's the time that we'll be conducting the operation.
01:29The sniper's rifle was sold for 1.2 million pesos.
01:33The PNP Maritime Group was shocked
01:35when they found out that there are 50 guns registered on the suspect.
01:39We'll be looking into their past involvement.
01:42Maybe there are guns missing from the AFP's armory.
01:46Or maybe they've done transactions before.
01:50We can ask them if they're really involved in large-scale gun running.
01:57A government-issued gun was also recovered from the suspect.
02:00It's an AFP ID.
02:02But it's said that the suspect doesn't own the gun
02:05and refused to give a statement to the media.
02:08The Maritime Group is still investigating the incident.
02:11For GMA Integrated News,
02:14I'm Marisol Abdurrahman,
02:16for 24 Hours.
