THE Philippine National Police (PNP) has revoked the gun permits of a former town mayor in Abra and ordered all of his registered firearms confiscated for submitting falsified documents to obtain a firearm license.

The revocation was initiated against former Langiden mayor Artemio Donato Jr. as a result of the continuous evaluation and audit of uploaded documents for the application of License to Own and Possess Firearms (LTOPF) and Firearm Registration (FR), PNP Firearms and Explosives Office (FEO) chief BGen. Paul Kenneth Lucas said in his directive issued on May 24.
