<p>MANILA — Sen. Risa Hontiveros is calling on the Philippine National Police to impose a shorter deadline for fugitive Pastor Apollo Quiboloy to surrender his firearms.</p><p>The Philippine National Police on Friday canceled the gun permits of Quiboloy, who was given 6 months to surrender his 19 assorted firearms.</p><p>&quot;Sana mas madaling panahon o deadline because I&#x27;m hoping that all the legislative and also legal including law enforcement procedures ay hindi aabot ng kalahating taon,&quot; Hontiveros told ANC on Monday.</p><p>(I hope the deadline is shorter because I&#x27;m hoping that all the legislative and also legal including law enforcement procedures will not take half a year.)</p><p>&quot;Kasi ibig sabihin kalahating taon may ganyan tayong isa pang private army sa ating bansa. And please make sure na 19 firearms lamang ba ang covered, parang mas marami ‘yung pino-post sa mga litrato nung private army na ‘yon sa Facebook,&quot; she said.</p><p>(Because that means we have a private army like that in our country for half a year. And please make sure that only 19 firearms are covered, it seems that there are more posted in the photos of that private army on Facebook.)</p><p>Hontiveros has also warned that Quiboloy&#x27;s alleged private army would remain &quot;armed and dangerous&quot; if the state fails to disband it.</p><p>One of Quiboloy&#x27;s lawyers Israelito Torreon earlier said that they were studying filing a motion for reconsideration in relation to the gun license revocation.</p><div><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/2024/4/26/pnp-cancels-quiboloy-s-gun-permits-1453" id="isPasted">READ: PNP cancels Quiboloy&#x27;s gun permits</a></div><p>The PNP recently said it had no information on Quiboloy&#x27;s supposed private army.</p><p>&quot;Hindi natin alam yung information with due respect kay Sen. Hontiveros, with respect doon sa sinasabi niya na private army ni Pastor Quiboloy. We don’t have any information on that,&quot; PNP spokesperson Col. Jean Fajardo said this month. </p><p>(With due respect to Sen.
