⚠️ Reminder to All ⚠️

We have received reports from attendees bringing real handcuffs to a recent event. May this serve as a clear reminder for all upcoming events:

❌ Real handcuffs or any functional restraint devices are NOT allowed.
✔ Allowed: Plastic or toy handcuffs, lightweight prop versions

⸻

❌ Why Handcuffs Are Banned
1) They are not cosplay props. Unlike toy or replica weapons, real handcuffs are classified as functional law enforcement equipment.
2) They pose safety risks. If used on someone (even as a joke), it counts as physical restraint and may lead to injury, panic, or even legal consequences such as coercion or unlawful detention.
3) Venue & organizer liability. Event security and staff cannot allow items that can physically restrain attendees.

⸻

❌ Other Prohibited Items

Sharp objects that can harm others such as real knives, blades, box cutters, arrows, needles, or anything with a cutting edge are also prohibited from being brought to future events.

⸻

✅ What’s Allowed Instead
1) Plastic or toy handcuffs that are non-locking, lightweight, or easily breakable.
2) Prop replicas that only look metallic but are non-functional. These will still be inspected by staff.
3) Foam, rubber, or plastic props for weapons and accessories — must be safe and event-friendly.

⸻

🔎 Additional Info

Airsoft guns are regulated as replicas and allowed only under strict checks. Real handcuffs are functional law enforcement equipment, not replicas. They pose safety and legal risks if used, so only plastic or toy versions are permitted to bring for future events.

⸻

📌 Reminder

Our goal is to keep the event fun, safe, and worry-free for all cosplayers and guests. Please use safe alternatives if your cosplay requires handcuffs or weapons.

Anyone bringing real handcuffs, sharp objects, or other dangerous items in the future events will be asked to surrender them to security or may be denied entry.

🙏 Thank you for your cooperation!

🚨 𝗣𝗨𝗕𝗟𝗜𝗖 𝗔𝗪𝗔𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗘𝗦𝗦 𝗣𝗢𝗦𝗧 🚨

We have received reports of a persistent predator using Facebook to contact women, including minors and young adults, and inviting them to pose for boudoir-style or suggestive photoshoots. While most have declined, the predator continues to target others.

Even without photos being exchanged, this behavior is a form of online grooming and exploitation.

🛡️ 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗖𝗔𝗡 𝗗𝗢 𝗜𝗙 𝗬𝗢𝗨'𝗥𝗘 𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗔𝗖𝗛𝗘𝗗:
✅ Do NOT engage further.
✅ Screenshot everything — the message, their profile, and the date/time.
✅ Report the account on Facebook
→ Tap the 3 dots on the profile → Report → Nudity & Sexual Activity → Involves a child (if applicable)

✅ Contact local authorities:
National Bureau of Investigation XI SEMRO – Anti-Human Trafficking Division (infront of NCCC Mall VP, Bajada, Davao City)
PNP Women and Children Protection Desk at your nearest police station.

✅ Helplines you can call:
📞 Bantay Bata: 163
📞 Davao City Police Office – Women and Children Protection Desk (WCPD): (082) 224-4311

📢 IF YOU'VE BEEN TARGETED (MINOR OR NOT)
Even if you say "no," even if nothing happens, you can still report it. Your experience may be the missing piece that protects others.

Even if we work quietly behind the scenes, we are watching,

Greetings everyone,

We'd like to let you know that the TF-PTSD Team will take a short break to rest, reflect, and reorganize after recent events.

This cooldown period will help us reset, review our practices, and ensure we stay true to the values we've always stood for—safety, accountability, and genuine support for the cosplay community.

As part of this process, we will also reorganize the current team structure, including updates on page management and leadership roles. These changes are meant to better serve the community and improve our operations moving forward.

TF-PTSD is still fully committed to our community. We're not stepping away—we're taking this time to recharge and return even stronger, more focused, and more dedicated to our purpose.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work quietly behind the scenes. We'll keep you posted once we're ready to resume.

We deeply appreciate your continued support and understanding. Thank you for sticking with us.

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 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙤𝙛 “𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙢,” 𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙡𝙪𝙙𝙚 𝙖𝙞𝙧𝙜𝙪𝙣𝙨, 𝙖𝙞𝙧𝙨𝙤𝙛𝙩 𝙜𝙪𝙣𝙨, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙧𝙚𝙥𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙨/𝙞𝙢𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙘𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙖𝙣 𝙤𝙧𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙧𝙮 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡.

This measure is instituted by the Commission on Elections (Comelec) to maintain safety and order during the election process.

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.

In response to recent unfounded allegations to our group, we find it necessary to clarify once and for all, that certain individual/s that are not part of our roster of active members absolutely have no affiliation, association, or relationship within the range of any members of the group, during on or off events.

Any attempts to connect the said individual/s personal actions, statements, or behaviors to our group are misleading. Even if the said individual/s are within close range to any members of the group, it is of their personal relationship of each member to said individual/s and DO NOT REFLECT the integrity, standards, and principles we uphold as a group.

We strongly advise everyone to approach this situation with discernment, fairness, and critical judgment, ensuring that assumptions and misinformation do not harm reputations or relationships unjustly.

Thank you for your careful consideration and understanding.
