ANGELES CITY – The city government here in cooperation with the Philippine National Police Regional Civil Security Unit 3 (PNP-RCSU3) steered a caravan for the registration and renewal of License to Own and Possess Firearms (LTOPF) held Friday at the city hall grounds.

The caravan was organized by the Office of the City Mayor and the PNP-RCSU to usher the services of the police to the community and further the objective of Republic Act 10591 or the “Comprehensive Firearm and Ammunition Regulation Act”, which upholds the right of an individual to self-defense using firearm, within reasonable means.

Assistant Chief of the RCSU3, Police Superintendent Omer C. Cuadro, reminded that gun enthusiasts and owners are required to secure a license to legalize their possession of firearms.

Registrants were ushered through the process, which composed of a Drug Test, a Neuro-Psychiatric test, Gun Safety certification and the issuance of Police or Directorate for Intelligence (DI) Clearance.

Representatives from the Mountain Clark Firing Range also conducted a Gun Safety seminar for civilian registrants.

For his part, Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan stressed the relevance of self-defense, while maintaining peace and order in the city.

“These measures uphold the right to security, and must work for, instead of against, the city’s peace and order; you should remain wise stewards of these firearms,” Mayor Pamintuan reminded the applicants.

Registrants who successfully completed the process will receive a confirmation of their licenses after 7 to 10 working days.
