MANILA, Philippines — On New Year’s Eve, Quezon City Police District (QCPD) reminded its personnel and officers on Sunday not to use their firearms during the festivities.

QCPD warned erring policemen that it will “reinforce a zero-tolerance policy for the irresponsible use of firearms,” as it encouraged cops to find alternative ways to celebrate the occasion.
