Pimentel wants private use of drones regulated 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Mario CasayuranSenator Aquilino Pimentel III has sought congressional approval of his bill seeking to penalize private individuals who are not authorized to own and operate drones either for recreational purposes or for commercial use. “The same drones that are used for recreational and commercial purposes might be exploited by terrorists, used to violate rights, or could pose a hazard to aircraft,” Pimentel explained. Failure to register a drone and its owner shall result in the confiscation of the drone by the CAAP. Operating a drone for commercial purposes without a permit shall result in the confiscation of the drone and a fine between P50,000 and P100,000.
