Ban on videoke, ‘sounds,’ a respect to rights of others Theyre making it official. It would include private places (including residential), he said. Duterte said the ban on videokes should start as early as 9 p.m., since others are already sleeping at that time. The proposed ordinance also bans bora-bora or modified mufflers, amplified car stereo with loud and annoying sound within residential areas. Duterte said even without an ordinance, the public must be reminded that the use of these accessories is already a violation. Noise pollution na eh, he said. Duterte said he wants the City Council to investigate and discuss the proposed ordinance thoroughly by conducting committee hearings. The proposed ordinance states that “the use of sound-producing equipment during special occasions shall be from 6 a.m. to 2 a.m. or as may be determined by the mayor.” It also said that it should also ask for the consent of the barangay council and the neighbors to the use of the sound equipment if the celebration of special occasions will be celebrated on a day other than the actual day of celebration. Other prohibited acts under the proposed ordinance are: setting up videoke bars, karaoke bars within residential areas; using and operating welding machines, repair shops operating within residential areas before 8 a.m. and after 5 p.m.; proceeding with the work or construction of any building, infrastructure, improvement, or structure within all residential areas unless consented to by surrounding residents; and using bora-bora or modified mufflers, amplified car stereo with loud and annoying sound within residential areas. The proposed penalties are: P200 for the first offense, P1,500 for the second offense, and P2,000, closure of establishment, and imprisonment of 30 days for third and subsequent offenses.
