The Philippine National Police (PNP) is preparing for the gun ban in line with the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) election this May, authorities said on Monday. “[It is] expected na magkaroon ng gun ban kaya lang (to have a gun ban but) we are still waiting for the guidelines from the Comelec,” Bulalacao said in a press briefing. After two postponements, the Barangay and SK election will finally be held on May 14. The election period will run from April 14 to May 21, 2018, and the gun ban will be in effect during this period. It will also be finalized once the Comelec issues its latest guidelines.
