In a case charged with illegal possession of an unlicensed firearm, the information states only: "That on or about May 3, 2026, in Barangay Poblacion, City of Lantana, the accused did commit a crime." The information omits the exact offense or statute, the firearm type, and whether a license is required. Arraignment is held; the judge reads the information aloud in English; the accused and his counsel do not receive a copy of the information. The accused pleads not guilty; the defense moves to postpone arraignment to review the information, which the court denies. Based on these facts, determine whether the arraignment fulfilled its purpose and what remedy applies for a defective information.
