After passing a resolution that banned the multiplayer online game Dota from computer shops in its area of responsibility, the Barangay Council (village council) of Salawag, Dasmarinas, Cavite has allegedly passed a resolution which bans all first-person shooters (FPS) games such as Counter-Strike and Crossfire among others.
According to the ordinance, dated January 19, 2015, the reason for removing the game is because “it has a bad influence to the youth in the sense that it makes them violent and makes them lie, steal (and possibly kill) so that they can play the game.”
The punishments for the following infractions are as follows:
1st offense: One month suspension
2nd offense: Revocation of Business Permit
3rd offense: Permanent Closure of the Shop and Total Ban
2nd offense: Revocation of Business Permit
