The Philippine National Police (PNP) has recalled 674 police officers assigned as security escorts to politicians and civilians as part of implementing the gun ban for the upcoming elections. This move aligns with the PNP’s commitment to ensuring peaceful and orderly polls.
Additionally, 85 individuals have been arrested for violating the gun ban, with most claiming unawareness of the restriction. The PNP emphasizes that ignorance of the law is not an excuse and urges the public to cooperate fully.
Affected individuals may seek exemptions through the Commission on Elections (COMELEC), which plays a pivotal role in reviewing such requests. The PNP’s strict enforcement underscores its dedication to public safety and fairness during the electoral process.
