The Police Regional Office (PRO-6) has warned policemen and civilians over illegal discharge of firearms or face criminal and administrative charges.
The traditional gun muzzle taping this holiday season will no longer observed by the Philippine National Police (PNP), according to PRO-6 spokesperson Superintendent Gilbert Gorero.
“Tayo ay nabibigyan ng pagtitiwala na hindi tayo magpuputok ng ating mga baril. Itong pag-alis ng muzzle taping ay malaking challenge sa amin. Ito ang apela natin sa ating kapulisan na maging disiplinado,” he said.
Gorero stressed policemen and the trigger-happy civilians caught indiscriminately firing their guns during holiday revelries will be severely dealt by the law.
He also renewed call of cooperation of the public to report any incidents of indiscriminate firing of guns to the nearest police stations or to PNP social media accounts.
To enforce the campaign, police station commandeers will conduct on December 31 and January 1 the accounting and inspection of government issued and personal firearms of their uniformed personnel.
Gorero said the civilians and policemen are also reminded of PNP’s 11th and 12th commandments that “they should not fire their guns indiscriminately as it may, kill and injure the neighbours” and “if neighbours fire their guns indiscriminately, make sure to take photos and videos to be reported to the PNP and uploaded.”
“Kami ay umaapela sa ating mamamayan sa mapayapa, masayang Bagong Taon na walang nasusugatan at namamatay sa tama ng baril at paputok,” he added.
As this developed, the PNP chief Ronald Dela Rosa also warned its unit commanders for potential relief from their posts if someone is killed due to stray bullet incidents.
