197 DATED 13 JANUARY 2000 ON THE IMPOSITION OF ADMINISTRATIVE FINE FOR LOSS OF

WHEREAS, Executive Order No. 256 dated 21 December 1995, rationalized the fees and charges on
Firearms, Ammunition, Spare Parts, Accessories, Components, Explosives, Explosives Ingredients,
Pyrotechnics and other devices;

WHEREAS, Executive Order No. 197 dated 13 January 2000 directed all Departments, Bureaus,
Commissions, Agencies, Offices and Instrumentalities of the National Government including government-
owned or controlled corporations to increase their rates of fees and charges by not less than twenty (20)
percent and based on this order the Philippine National Police implemented a Revised Schedule of Fees,
including administrative fines for loss of firearms;

WHEREAS, based on the Firearm Information Management system (FIMS) of the Firearms and Explosives
Division, Civil Security Group, 5,399 registered firearms were reported lost by licensed firearm holders;

WHEREAS, there is a need to impose stiffer administrative fines for loss of firearms in order to encourage
licensed firearm holders to be more conscious in securing their registered firearms to prevent the same
from getting into the hands of terrorists or criminal elements.

virtue of the powers vested in me by law, do hereby order the following:

reported of FA.
