When people have guns that they're not supposed to have, it's illegal. In the Philippines, some people get guns illegally by buying them from bad guys who sell them on the black market.
These bad guys might steal guns from the police or military, or they might smuggle guns from other countries. They sell these illegal guns to people who want to use them for crime, like robbery or murder.
The Philippine government has laws and regulations to control guns and make sure they're only in the hands of people who need them, like police officers or soldiers. But some people break these laws and get guns illegally, which is very dangerous and can lead to violence and harm to innocent people.
The police and other law enforcement agencies work hard to stop the illegal trade of firearms in the Philippines to keep people safe. They do this by confiscating illegal guns and arresting people who sell or carry them.
It's important for everyone in the Philippines to follow the law and not buy, sell, or carry illegal firearms. This helps keep the country peaceful and safe for everyone.
