Presidential Task Force on Media Security Executive Director, Undersecretary Joey Sy Egco (File photo) MANILA - It is a welcome development to exclude media practitioners from getting threat assessment for firearms licenses, Presidential Task Force on Media Security (PTFoMS) Executive Director, Undersecretary Joey Sy Egco, said Thursday. In a radio interview, Egco cited it takes time and a lot of effort to undergo a threat assessment to get a gun permit. He noted that the assessment is already unnecessary since the jobs of media practitioners are already dangerous, especially for those who were exposing corruption and reporting abuse of power. "When you fulfill your duty or when you advocate a campaign or when you crusade for something-automatically the media will hit someone," Egco said over Radyo Pilipinas. Egco also welcomed the Republic Act (RA) No. 11766, signed by Duterte on May 6, extending the validity of the license to possess firearms and ammunition, from two years
