MANILA, Philippines — According to the Philippine National Police (PNP), 1,470 people have been arrested for breaching the Commission on Elections (Comelec) gun ban.

There are 1,430 people, 19 security guards, 12 police officers, and nine military personnel among those arrested.

There were 1,128 firearms, 6,302 rounds of ammunition, and 526 lethal weapons recovered from 1,346 police operations.

According to the PNP’s newest data, the National Capital Region leads the way with 468 arrests, followed by Central Visayas with 152, Central Luzon with 105, Calabarzon with 145, and Western Visayas with 87.

From January 9 to June 8, the Commission on Elections (Comelec) Resolution No. 10728 prohibits the carrying, carrying, or transporting of firearms or deadly weapons outside of one’s home and in all public places.

Law enforcement officers are exempt from the restriction, although they must obtain permission from the Comelec and wear an agency-approved uniform while on official duty during the election period.

Violators face a sentence of not less than one year but not more than six years in jail, with no possibility of parole.

They also risk being barred from holding public office, losing their right to vote, and having their firearms licenses revoked or permanently revoked.
