We are deeply saddened that despite the constant reminders being shown and told to the general public but aimed more to cosplayers pertaining to the Election Gun Ban, it seems that there are still who are either unaware or have chosen to ignore the gun ban. Mind that this is already running for 5 months up until 11th of June (unless extended by Comelec).
AGAIN. The Election Gun Ban is still in effect, as such, COMELEC Resolution No. 11067 (Sept. 25, 2024) Section 1 (c) and (w) provides that ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ฃ๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ ๐ค๐ โ๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ง๐ข,โ ๐จ๐๐๐ก๐ก ๐๐ฃ๐๐ก๐ช๐๐ ๐๐๐ง๐๐ช๐ฃ๐จ, ๐๐๐ง๐จ๐ค๐๐ฉ ๐๐ช๐ฃ๐จ, ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ง๐๐ฅ๐ก๐๐๐๐จ/๐๐ข๐๐ฉ๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐จ ๐ค๐ ๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ง๐ข๐จ ๐๐ฃ ๐ฌ๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐๐ง ๐๐ค๐ง๐ข ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฉ ๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐๐ช๐จ๐ ๐๐ฃ ๐ค๐ง๐๐๐ฃ๐๐ง๐ฎ ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐จ๐ค๐ฃ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐๐๐ก๐๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฉ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฎ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ง๐๐๐ก.

๐ฒ๐บ๐ฝ๐ under the Commission on Elections (Comelec) resolution on the gun ban.
Considering that we are not active on duty for MCS for various reasons given, we are totally disappointed with how the mall security is very lenient in handling this matter to any replica-looking toy gun props as by law, it is technically part of the gun ban itself (as stated above). Since the organizers of the previous event rely on the mall security's judgement, it seems that the mall security is very ignorant of how the law goes.
This is an intended awareness post to everyone, basically telling those people who have violated and those who plan to violate in the future until the gun ban ends that no one is above the law. We have been reminding non-stop since the start of the gun ban it is because it is not for our benefit, but we do care for the reputation of the cosplay community here in Davao, which is already messed-up a lot. To those who were spotted that violated the gun ban, you guys are lucky that we are not pro-active during the said event, or we could have brought you to law enforcement authority within the vicinity for processing.
Photos posted here are for the intention of awareness and call-out of those spotted violating the gun ban, and are heavily censored for privacy purposes, but retaining the details for the reason being called out.
