PNP Chief Trolls Drug Lords At Gun Show, Gun Permits Made Easier


The country's top cop twitted drug lords during a visit to a gun show in Mandaluyong City Thursday. 
"Maganda! Perfect ito para sa mga drug lords!" Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Ronald "Bato" dela Rosa said while brandishing a gun at the 24th AFAD Defense and Sporting Arms Show on Thursday.

In his speech during the opening ceremony, Dela Rosa apologized for his tardiness because he had to attend to the incineration of billion pesos worth of illegal drugs at the Integrated Waste Management facility in Trece Martirez, Cavite. Among the illegal drugs burned were the 180 kilograms of shabu found buried inside a beach resort in Claveria, Cagayan. 


"Medyo high pa ako ngayon," he joked. 

He urged the public to be the "eyes and ears" of the PNP and help make streets safe again. Dela Rosa said the 10 requirements for the renewal of license to own and possess firearms [LTOP] are now down to just four. One of those requirements is a neuro-psychiatric screening for gun owners. 
"Kailangan talaga dahil last year baka pagkuha mo ng LTOP, matino pa yung utak mo. Pero nagkaproblema, pag renew mo nabuang ka na. Kailangan maniguro tayo na hindi buang yung may hawak ng baril," he added. 



The other requirements for renewal of LTOP are drug test, police clearance and Regional Trial Court [RTC] National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) clearance. He echoed the orders of President Rodrigo Duterte to cut the long lines and processing fees needed to acquire government documents.

Dela Rosa earlier said he expects the Duterte administration to win the war on illegal drugs. He said the government now has a complete list of notorious drug lords and authorities are starting to hunt them down.
