00:24In type 4, we have 15.
00:26At type 5, we have more than 15 firearms.
00:29Based on the records of the PNP-FEO,
00:34what is the license issued by Vice President Sarah?
00:39Objection, Your Honor. No testimony has yet been made.
00:42Your Honor, we're trying to abbreviate the proceedings.
00:45We withdraw the objection, Your Honor.
00:47Yes, with your indulgence of Attorney CJ.
00:50Apologies.
00:51Please continue, Honorable Zamora.
00:54Again, Mr. Witness, based on the record of the PNP-FEO,
00:57Anong uri ng lisensya po?
00:59Kung meron man ang na-issue kay Vice President Sarah?
01:03Meron po siyang LTAF type 5 po.
01:07Okay.
01:08At ano naman pong uri ng lisensya ang naka-issue o na-issue ng PNP-FEO
01:14kay attorney man Scarpio.
01:19LTAF type 5 din po, ma'am.
01:20Okay.
01:21Maraming salamat.
01:24Puntahan lang natin yung LTAF type 5, no?
01:30Compared with other LTAF type 1, type 4, no?
01:38What special requirement is sought from a type 5 licensee kung meron man?
01:46Para po sa mga LTAF holder ng type 3, type 4 to type 5 po.
01:53They are required to have a physical inspection of their vault.
02:00Kailangan po meron po talaga silang vault and nire-require po na i-inspect po ito.
02:05Okay.
02:06Thank you po.
02:07Puntahan po natin ang firearms ni respondent Vice President Sarah at ng kanyang asawa.
02:18Batay po sa records ng inyong tanggapan, ilang pong baril ang nakarehistro sa pangalan ni Vice President Sarah?
02:32Can I check my records, Your Honor?
02:35You may do so, Major Sanggalang.
02:49Si Vice President Sarah po ay merong 22 firearms.
02:58Meron po siyang 14 na pistol, dalawang revolver, limang rifle, of which tatlo po doon ay Class A light weapon,
03:15and isa pong shotgun.
03:19Binagiti po ang Class A light weapon. Ano po ito?
03:22Objection, Your Honor. Again, relevance.
03:24Your Honor, we are talking about the firearm, Vice President.
03:29I know out of habit perhaps, Attorney CJ, you would, but I'll allow it. Please answer, Major Sanggalang.
03:40Thank you, Your Honor.
03:44Ang Class A light weapons po ay mga baril na may caliber po hanggang 7.62 with automatic functions or
03:56fully automatic po sila.
03:57Okay, para lang sa kaalaman ng lahat, ano po ang may ibig sabihin ng fully automatic functions?
04:06Yung firearms po na yung firearms po ay capable of burst of fire.
04:13Ibig sabihin po nito, pag kinalabit po natin yung gatilyo, sunod-sunod na po yung puputok.
04:18Okay. At sino-sino ba po ang pwedeng magmay-ari ng firearms with fully automatic functions kung meron man?
04:33Stated in Republic Act 10591, that is Section 10, only law enforcement agencies can acquire Class A light weapons, especially
04:52PNP and AFP.
04:56However, for those individual na nakapag-acquire na po prior ng effectivity ng batas na ito, ay maaari pa rin
05:04pong ipagpatuloy ang kanilang pagkakaroon ng Class A light weapons.
05:10Papayagan pa rin po silang mag-register. However, hindi na po ito pwedeng ilipat sa ibang L-TAP holder.
05:19So, lifetime na po ang pag-re-registration nila. Kung ayaw na po nila na ituloy ang pagkakaroon ng baril
05:27na Class A light weapons, pwede naman po nila itong isurrender sa PNP.
05:31Okay. Thank you, Mr. Witness.
05:35So, para lang po malinaw, batay sa inyong testimonya, tatlo po sa mga rifle na nakarehistro sa pangalan ni Vice
05:42President Sarah ay fully automatic. Tama ba po?
05:45Yes, ma'am.
05:46Base sa inyong records, Mr. Witness, ilang pong baril na nakarehistro sa pangalan ni Attorney Man Scarpio?
05:58Your Honor, continuing authority for the Council.
06:01Assisting Councils may approach the witness.
06:05Si Attorney Man Scarpio naman po ay mayroong 29 firearms.
06:11Mayroon po siyang 16 pistol, dalawang revolver, isang shotgun, 10 rifle, isa po doon ay Class A light weapon, at
06:26mayroon din po siyang isang expired na firearm.
06:30Thank you, Mr. Witness.
