“It will burden local government units. Magkakaroon na ng napakaraming ban — ban sa employment, ban sa construction — at it will entail administrative expenses on the part of the Philippine National Police. Katakot-takot na checkpoint na ‘yun. Gun ban na, ang daming ide-deploy na tao, resources,” he added.“Napakaaga ng ating electoral cycle. ‘Wag naman mangyari baka may kaunting violence pa ‘yan.
“Hopefully, we will be able to come up [with] a final decision this coming [Wednesday],” he continued.
