of the provincial government.
“The
PNP and AFP check points are put up for the apprehension of those who
violate the gun ban and seize illegal firearms, inspect suspicious
individuals and vehicles to avoid violence especially election-related
incidents,”Pagkalinawan stated.
The
Regional Special Operations Task Force (RSOTG) is likewise conducting
regular checkpoints in various municipalities in support to the
municipal police personnel to prevent lawless and private armed groups
from interfering with the
holding of 2013 midterm elections.
The
police likewise intensified the campaign against unlicensed firearms
following the launching of ‘Katok’ Operation on December last year.
This
resulted to confiscation and voluntary surrender of firearms by the gun
holders whose supporting papers are expired or application for
registration is still pending.
The
operation is also aimed at encouraging gun holders to renew firearms
licenses and to turn-in firearms to police station if no longer
interested to renew the same.
