DISGUSTED Baguio residents have resorted to comic relief weeks after San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora breached protocols in the Summer Capital.
Bantay Digital recently brought out stickers inspired by the now controversial mayor dubbed as “Zamorabusters.”
Bantay Digital recounts “Ayuuu! Something strange happened (last week) in the neighborhood of Kennon Road, ya! There was an evil that breached the checkpoint last week, and even the honorable mayor cannot oppose it. This entitled entity had bypassed protocol, presented the most baffling of excuses and then passed on blame to his own men to justify and excuse his actions. We cannot let this pass as it could have caused the harm to the city despite its long standing efforts to fight this pandemic. The only thing that we can do is be vigilant and alert when it decides to rear its ugly head once again.”
The site elaborated “when a similar entity is within the neighborhood, who are you gonna call? The Zamorabusters!”
Close to 20,000 have signed an online petition to declare Zamora as persona non grata, but Mayor Benjamin Magalong said he is not likely to file administrative charges against the San Juan City mayor, attributing the sincere apology made to him and the citizens of Baguio.
Magalong said Zamora texted him on the day of his arrival and was likewise informed by the Baguio Country Club.
Instructions were also given to assure the entire entourage should pass through the triage and complete medical and security protocols.
Bantay Digital said “because of Mayor Magalong's failure to hold Mayor Zamora's accountable for breach of protocols, we have pushed to create this campaign to raise awareness on protocol. And while calls to make Mayor Zamora persona non grata have been dismissed, he should be aware that he and his behavior are not welcome in this city.”
In the defense of Zamora, Magalong said the San Juan mayor showed no arrogance and immediately underwent the triage set up for them at the country club when they bypassed the checkpoints.
Magalong, however, assured that if police investigations reveal more compelling facts, a move will be done by the local government.
Bantay Digital allows anyone who visits its site to download and print the digital copy with the message “Thank you! And let us all be Zamorabusters in our little way.”
