CAMP ALAGAR, Cagayan de Oro City – Police Regional Office 10 (PRO10), under the leadership of Regional Director PBGEN JAYSEN C. DE GUZMAN, continues to intensify its enforcement operations in line with the ongoing Commission on Elections (COMELEC) gun ban, which remains in effect until June 11, 2025.
Despite the conclusion of the electoral period, PRO10 remains relentless in its efforts to curb the proliferation of loose firearms and maintain public safety across Northern Mindanao. Based on the latest data from the Election Monitoring System (EMS), a total of 103 individuals have been apprehended and 97 firearms have been confiscated in connection with gun ban violations and other law enforcement operations.
The confiscated items include 84 small arms, 3 light weapons, 10 replicas or improvised firearms, 2 explosives, and 773 rounds of ammunition. These were seized through a combination of police responses, checkpoint operations, anti-illegal drug campaigns, and intensified law enforcement efforts across the region.
PBGEN DE GUZMAN emphasized that operations will continue with the same level of vigilance in the coming weeks.
“The election process may have ended, but the COMELEC gun ban is still in effect until June 11, 2025. We will not slow down our efforts in ensuring that illegal possession and use of firearms are addressed decisively,” he said.
He added that PRO10 will sustain heightened alert levels and proactive checkpoint activities to secure communities and deter armed threats.
PRO10 assures the public of its unwavering commitment to uphold the law and maintain peace and order as the region transitions beyond the election season.
