00:23At the first opportunity, from the secret of the Department of Interior and Local Government,
00:31Secretary John Vick-Remulia visited Cebu.
00:34An Arrival Honours was given to him by the Police Regional Office 7 along with the personnel of BJMP and BFP.
00:43The Central Visayas Police appointed Remulia with the confiscated loose firearms from October 1, 2024 to February 3, 2025, which amounted to more than 1,400.
00:57RD always says that the one gun we get can save five lives.
01:03So it means that out of all the firearms that were presented earlier,
01:08many lives will be saved and this will help us ensure a peaceful and successful election.
01:16Remulia also reminded the PNP personnel that there should be no candidate for the upcoming midterm elections.
01:24Private armed groups should also be dispersed.
01:27Well, number one, dismantle all the private armed groups.
01:31Number two, there should be no allies.
01:33Politicians should not function as a private army.
01:38They have to stay neutral, they have to stay professional.
01:41Remulia also said that there will be talks on the transfer of BJMP under the Department of Justice.
01:49There will be discussions on the transfer of BJMP under the Department of Justice.
01:59It will be transferred to the same Department of Corrections.
02:03Now, there are two Departments, Bureau of Corrections and BJMP.
02:08It doesn't make sense that there are two Departments under the same Department.
02:10A closed-door command conference was held by Kalihim.
02:14It was attended by senior law enforcement agencies in Central Visayas.
