00:00 So the NCR, and we approved the recommendation of the NCR, that he revoke the licensure of Mr. Gonzalez.
00:10 That is, because the licensure of Mr. Gonzalez is still valid until next year.
00:17 So that is, as of yesterday, your revocation.
00:21 And we said he's disqualified to apply for a new license for the next two years.
00:28 So until 2025, he will not be able to apply for a new license.
00:34 And this is an alarm to all offices of the NCR.
00:38 So that is the gist of our decision, why he was disqualified for two years.
00:45 Because according to the law, the EMLE, Republic Act 4136, and its amended law,
00:53 we will be able to sentence him to up to four years revocation if there is death or injury.
01:07 If there is no death or injury, we will not be able to sentence him to the full extent of the four-year revocation that is in the law.
01:17 So that is why we decided to give him two years because there is no death or injury.
01:24 What aggravates this is the release of the gun.
01:28 That aggravated matters all together.
