"The bestowal on the Chairman of the Commission on the power to grant gun ban exemptions and place Election Areas of Concern under Comelec Control based on the vague and arbitrary phrase of āmeritorious and urgent casesā essentially rendered futile or pointless the functions of the CBFSC. In protest, I hereby irrevocably resign as CBFSC chairperson effective immediately."
