Malacañang said it is open to studying any proposed measure seeking to amend existing laws toward stricter gun ownership regulations in the country.
This came in the wake of the shooting tragedy at San Jose National High School in Tacloban City, where three students were killed.
Palace Press Officer Undersecretary Claire Castro said that if gun owners cannot be responsible with their firearms, then tighter regulations are warranted.
"Depende sa magiging proposal kung ito naman ay makakabuti talaga sa lalong proteksyon at seguridad, hindi naman kailangang sobrang mabigyan ng leeway sa pagbibigay ng armas lalo't di ka naman responsable," Castro said.
("It depends on what the proposal will be — if it will truly be beneficial for greater protection and security, there is no need to be overly lenient in granting the privilege of bearing arms, especially if you are not responsible.")
