Pahayag sa Commission on Human Rights sa “Oplan Katok” sa PNP taliwala sa umaabot nga 2025 Elections

The Commission on Human Rights (CHR) acknowledges the Philippine National Police’s (PNP) intent to promote responsible gun ownership through its “Oplan Katok” initiative. Encouraging firearm owners to renew their licenses or surrender unlicensed firearms is an important measure in upholding public safety.

CHR equally recognizes the concerns raised, particularly by the Commission on Election (COMELEC), over its implementation amidst the upcoming 2025 elections, where any law enforcement activity must be conducted with the utmost regard for due process to prevent any potential abuses.

The Commission emphasizes that while “Oplan Katok” is presented as a routine operation, door-to-door visits by police officers—especially without a court-issued warrant—may inadvertently cause fear or intimidation among individuals. Article III, Section 2 of the 1987 Constitution explicitly protects individual against unwarranted searches and seizures, affirming that law enforcement must operate within the bounds of legal and procedural safeguards.

In line with this, we urge the PNP to ensure that all operations uphold the rights and dignity of individuals, without undue pressure or coercion. Transparency and strict adherence to constitutional rights are imperative to prevent perceptions of misuse or intimidation—particularly in the highly charged political climate of an election season.

CHR, as the country’s national human rights institution, remains committed to its constitutional mandate of safeguarding human rights while ensuring that law enforcement measures align with the legal and regulatory framework.

Sama-sama nating isulong ang isang payapa, patas, at makataong #Eleksyon2025.
