CEBU CITY – In a move anticipated to qualm increasingly obnoxious weekly rallies, the Cebu City Council has approved City Ordinance No. 1269, making illegal the shooting, or otherwise premeditated harm, of digital cameras. This as an aftermath to an earlier incident involving allegations against Mayor Tomas Osmena’s son (name unknown as of press time) of shooting an innocent digital camera, instantly killing it, and, in a move that added insult to injury, left the body at its family’s doorstep.
“The issue has been deliberated in Council for years”, said Councilor Jack ‘The Ripper’ Jakosalem. “Since only minor complaints had been received regarding violence against cameras, I’m hard pressed to admit it was never taken seriously.”
Weekly protests have been ongoing since the incident. Protesters bearing placards sprawled with various anti-camera violence slogans like “Justice for Nikon” and “End the LCD-Shed NOW” have flocked every Monday morning to City Hall and Osmena’s home to demand a speedy and haphazardly-thought-about trial.
Asked regarding his group’s opinion of the new ordinance, Camera Ko Kapatid Ko movement provincial head Norberto Norberto said, “It’s a good first step towards our goal.”
“But we will not rest until Tommy’s son.. what’s his name again?.. is put to justice,” he was quick to add. “A perfectly productive camera met an untimely death in his hands and I am outraged that no one seems to care.”
A memorial was set up by the group weeks ago at the Queen City Memorial Gardens for the deceased camera. Sympathizers continue to flock daily to the memorial to leave flowers and various other unnecessary paraphernalia.
Critics however have recently expressed their disillusionment towards the protesters and the City Council alike, insisting that while digital cameras are now amply protected by the law, older film cameras are still at high risk. “Just because they’re old and expensive to maintain, it doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be entitled to the same rights as their more efficient, way cooler counterparts,” said the Obsolete Cameras Group leader, who asked to, and will most likely indefinitely remain, anonymous. – DS
