00:00The operation of the NBI against the illegal arms in Muntinlupa City has become difficult.
00:05Their target is the Chinese.
00:07Res Bacan Pah was with them, but they were also caught.
00:11John Consulta was arrested.
00:16The three houses of an exclusive subdivision in Alabang, Muntinlupa were simultaneously occupied by the NBI and NCR.
00:22The target is the Chinese armed men who are living there holding loose firearms.
00:28According to the NBI, Res Bacan Pah, the Chinese armed men, also arrived.
00:34They were led by three vehicles, so the operation was not easy.
00:38We really had a difficult time containing them.
00:41And we almost resorted to drawing our firearms because they were never cooperative.
00:49We had a series of grapples until we were able to successfully contain them.
00:56Ten guns, bullets, tasers, guns, and tactical vests were recovered.
01:01We can see that these are well-built individuals, relatively young.
01:06The firearms seized by the NBI, you will notice some of them have tampered serial numbers.
01:13Some have defaced serial numbers.
01:16It's quite a task for the NBI to really determine the origin of the firearms.
01:27Whether they have military background, we are checking with our counterparts.
01:31If they have a background, if they are from a criminal group, organized crime group, or syndicate,
01:40we will have to check everything and we will have to cross-check that with the records of our counterparts.
01:46The Chinese arrested were quick to give testimony.
