Philippine police assure public that their gun control program targets expired licenses, not politics.

The Philippine National Police (PNP) assures the public that its "Revitalized Katok" program, aimed at ensuring responsible firearm ownership, is not politically motivated. The program targets gun owners with expired licenses, requiring them to renew their permits or deposit their firearms. Nearly 17,000 gun owners have renewed their licenses, and over 10,000 have deposited their firearms. The PNP chief, Rommel Marbil, emphasized the program's legal and procedural nature, aiming to reduce unregistered firearms and potential violence.
