Calamba City, Laguna – The Philippine National Police (PNP) showcased a total of 3,138 confiscated, recovered, surrendered, deposited, and seized firearms at Camp Vicente Lim in Mayapa, Calamba City, Laguna. The event covered the entire CALABARZON region as part of the police force’s intensified campaign to enforce the COMELEC gun ban in preparation for the 2025 National and Local Elections.
Under COMELEC Resolution No. 11067, the PNP continues to implement strict firearm regulations to prevent election-related violence. According to PLtGen. Robert T. Rodriguez, the surrender of firearms by candidates is crucial: “This ensures that if any untoward incidents occur, they will not be immediate suspects.”
F.E.E.L S.A.F.E.R. Initiative Launched
The Police Regional Office CALABARZON has launched the F.E.E.L S.A.F.E.R. project (Firearms and Explosives from Candidates/Supporters/Kins/Juridical for Safekeeping and Disposal, An Effort Leading to a Secure, Accurate, and Fair Elections in CALABARZON).
Since the initiative began on September 25, 2024, until January 31, 2025, a total of 3,138 firearms have been voluntarily surrendered:
3,012 small firearms
126 light weapons
PNP Operations Yield Significant Results
In addition to voluntary surrenders, police operations have resulted in:
414 firearms confiscated through search warrants, checkpoints, patrols, and Oplan Bakal
313 individuals arrested for illegal firearm possession
1,187 firearms surrendered through Oplan Katok, part of the safekeeping program
1,601 firearms currently in police custody
292 individuals facing charges under the Comprehensive Firearms and Ammunition Regulation Act
Since the gun ban took effect on January 12, 2025, 60 firearms have been confiscated, and 61 individuals have been arrested for violations.
Ensuring a Safe and Fair Election
The PNP, in partnership with COMELEC and other government agencies, remains committed to upholding election integrity by strictly enforcing firearm regulations. They reminded the public that the unauthorized possession, carrying, or transport of firearms during the election period is strictly prohibited. Violators will face legal consequences under the Omnibus Election Code and related laws.
COMELEC official Atty. Margaret Joyce M. Reyes-Cortez urged everyone to comply with the election commission’s policies: “We encourage everyone to follow the guidelines set by the Commission to ensure a smooth and orderly election.”
Public Urged to Cooperate
The PNP calls on citizens to stay vigilant and report any violations to the nearest police station or via their hotline numbers. The success of a peaceful, fair, and secure election depends on the cooperation of the entire community.
