The Senate will soon conduct a public hearing on the controversial importation and sale of 1,004 AK-47 rifles to the New People’s Army (NPA), the armed component of the Philippine communist movement, with the end in view of reviewing and strengthening Philippine laws and policies on the issuance and granting of firearm licenses and permits.
