According to the Philippine National Police, three firearms of Rep. Garin have expired licenses, while five of Mayor Garin’s guns also have expired licenses.

The Garins surrendered their firearms after PNP chief Director General Oscar Albayalde ordered the cancellation of their gun permits, following their alleged mauling of a policeman.

The two firearms will be under the custody of the San Juan City Police Station for safekeeping, police said. /ee
