In his speech, Interior Secretary Eduardo Año underscored how a gun has saved his life several times from immediate danger.

He said the responsible use of guns was a “glaring sign of peace and security.”

Año applauded the country’s strict gun laws and drew comparison to the alarming gun violence in the United States where a Filipino lawyer died recently after getting shot in the head.

A former military chief, Año disclosed his love for collecting different firearms.
