Firearm Fumbles: A Philippine Parable for Parents Everywhere In the Philippines, where gun ownership is common but seemingly unregulated, a recent incident in Cebu City's schools has highlighted the dangers of unchecked access to firearms by minors.
During a teacher's inspection, a . 357 calibre revolver was discovered in a 14 year old student's bag. The firearm belonged to the student's grandfather and had been taken from home without permission.
This raises questions about responsibility, oversight, and accountability among parents who leave their children in care of others.
