[00:00:00]The Firearms and Explosives [music] Office, or FEO, has recommended the cancellation of Senator Ronald "Bato" dela Rosa's license to own and possess firearms and [music] registration, a move that could declare his registered guns as loose firearms [music] any day now, as Ryan Lesigues details in this report.

[00:00:22]Any day from now, the firearms registered under Senator Ronald "Bato" dela Rosa may already be declared as loose firearms. This came after the Firearms and Explosives Office License Revocation and Restoration Board recommended the cancellation of the Senator's license to own and possess firearms, or LTOP, as well as his firearms registration, according to Firearms and Explosives Office Service Legal Officer Police Lieutenant Colonel Elmer Tayao. They immediately conducted a motu proprio inquiry regarding Bato's LTOP after the Department of Justice, or DOJ, ordered the arrest of the Senator.

[00:00:58]The FEO board recommends the to cancel. The ground is under Section 4G of the law of the RA 10591. That is, there is a pending criminal case where the impossible penalty is more than 2 years, and we all know that the crime has more than that.

[00:01:29]You penalty Since we have received the warrant of arrest, and then therefore, we have to look all this is from Sanchez. One is first the firearm.

[00:01:41]The concerned office of the PNP is processing for the revocation. This week, the FEO is expected to release the result of the recommendation on whether Bato's firearms license will be officially canceled.

[00:01:56]The good senator will be notified of such cancellation.

[00:02:03]To kung gusto niya he he will file the necessary motion for reconsideration.

[00:02:10]Yes, uh he has also that option to surrender those uh firearms. But if the senator's firearms license is eventually canceled, he will be given several days to surrender his firearms. Otherwise, authorities may launch an operation against him since the firearms would already be considered loose firearms.

[00:02:29]The FEO also said that it is not necessarily required for Bato himself to personally surrender the firearms. The PNP FEO's motu proprio investigation came even before the National Bureau of Investigation or NBI requested the cancellation of the embattled senator's firearms licenses. Dela Rosa is being considered by the International Criminal Court as a co-conspirator of former President Rodrigo Duterte in the case of crime against humanity of murder in connection with the government's war on drugs.
