NINE policemen were arrested nationwide for carrying firearms while off duty, according to Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief Oscar Albayalde Monday morning. Albayalde also said that there were six members of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) who were arrested for violating the gun ban. They are part of the 1,310 persons who were arrested nationwide from April 14 to today, Monday, as of 6 a.m. The gun ban cancels the permission to carry, mission orders, or authorize to carry firearms outside of a policeman’s home or place of work. The gun ban is enforced until May 21.
