Tabuk City, Philippines - The Philippine National Police Kalinga, in partnership with the provincial government, will streamline the process for the application for License to Own and Possess Firearm (LTOPF), firearms registration and renewal.
To recall, former President Rodrigo R. Duterte signed in May 2022 Republic Act No. 11766 extending the validity of the license to possess firearms and ammunition from two years to five or 10 years, amending RA 10591 or the Comprehensive Firearms and Ammunition Regulation Act.
Under the law, failure to renew the license on or before the date of its expiration shall cause the revocation of the license and of the registration of the firearm/s. Similarly, the registration of the firearm must be renewed every five or 10 years, at the option of the licensee.
A one-stop shop will be set up at Kalinga Police Provincial Office on February 16 to 17, as part of the Kalinga founding anniversary celebration, to provide hassle-free processing. Likewise, the two-day activity is part of the intensified campaign of the police against loose firearms.
