About 200 gun owners and enthusiasts from EB Magalona and nearby local government units have renewed the licenses of their firearms during the one-day License to Own and Possess Firearm Registration (LTOPFR) caravan, Sept. 23, at the plaza covered court of EB Magalona, Negros Occidental.
P/Capt. Eric Doronila, acting EB Magalona police chief, said that Mayor Marvin Malacon has requested the Police Regional Office 6 for an LTOPFR caravan in his municipality, so that Saraviahanons need not travel to Iloilo City to renew their firearms’ licenses.
In a statement, Doronila thanked Malacon for funding the one-stop-shop caravan.
It offered national police clearance issuance, status verification from the Firearms and Explosives Office, neuro-psychiatric clearance, and drug test clearance.
Also availing of the caravan services were gun owners from the cities of Bacolod, Talisay, Silay, Victorias, and Cadiz, and the town of Manapla, Doronila said./GB
