Quiboloy camp surrenders 5 of 19 firearms after PNP revokes gun permits

Published May 8, 2024 04:12 am

The camp of Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC) has surrendered five of the 19 firearms registered under his name after the Philippine National Police (PNP) decided ro revoke his gun permits over the cases filed against him.

PNP chief Gen. Rommel Francisco Marbil said the five firearms were surrendered at the Regional Office of the Civil Security Group (CSG) at the Police Regional Office 11 in Davao City on Wednesday morning, May 8.

“We implemented the notice of surrender this morning, and they surrendered them,” said Marbil.

“The other 14 firearms, I believe, will surrender soon,” he added.

On April 26, Marbil approved the recommendation of the Firearms and Explosives Office (FEO) board to revoke all the firearms registered under Quiboloy. In the same resolution approved by Marbil, Quiboloy was given six months to surrender all the guns.

“Wherefore, foregoing considered, the LTOPF (License to Own and Possess Firearms) and firearms registration of Apollo Carreon Quiboloy are hereby revoked. Further, next of kin, nearest relative or legal representative of Apollo C. Quiboloy or any other person is directed to deliver the same and the firearms shall be confiscated for proper disposition,” the dispositive portion of the resolution signed by Marbil read.

The revocation of Quiboloy’s gun permits stemmed from the charges of human trafficking and child and sexual abuse filed against him.

PNP spokesperson Col. Jean Fajardo earlier explained that the FEO Board used the Article II (Ownership and Possession of Firearm) of the Republic Act 10591 which stated that one of the Standards and Requisites for Issuance of and Obtaining a License to Own and Possess Firearms is that: “(g) The applicant has not been convicted or is currently an accused in a pending criminal case before any court of law for a crime that is punishable with a penalty of more than two (2) years.”

Fajardo said the Implementing Rules and Regulations of the RA 10591, particularly Section 26.1.5, was also used wherein it specified the classification of the legal disability of any person to own guns.

“It was specified there (IRR) the provisions wherein a person could be classified as having legal disability to own a firearm and it was clear and included there to the pendency of a case with imposable penalty of more than two years,” said Fajardo.

In the case of Quiboloy, the imposable penalty for one of the cases filed against him is life imprisonment while the other one is considered as a capital offense.

“So in the penalties and the warrants issued, these served as the basis why the FEO recommended the revocation of the privilege of Pastor Apollo Quiboloy to revoke his LTOPF and firearms registration,” said Fajardo,
