A total of 723 guns of various caliber were seized by the Supervisory Office for Security and Investigation Agencies (SOSIA) as it intensified its campaign to regulate security guards, private detectives and watchmen, the Philippine National Police (PNP) bared on Friday.

In a presentation at Camp Crame in Quezon City, Colonel Sidney Villaflor, director of the PNP-SOSIA, said the guns were confiscated in 1,097 post-to-post inspections conducted from June 2019 to June 2020.

Of the forfeited guns, Villaflor said 187 were released to its owner-agencies after they complied with the noted violations while the remaining 536 were forwarded to the Crime Laboratory and Firearms and Explosives Office for further validation. The most recent incident was the killing of four suspected Islamic State-linked and Abu Sayyaf Group terrorists in Paranaque City last week. Three of the suspects were security guards working in condominium buildings and a local tire shop.

Other violators were linked to the so-called “kambal baril” scheme where two or more firearms were tampered to have the same serial numbers.
