MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Malaca\u00f1ang on Monday said it is up to local government units (LGUs) to decide on whether to copy the move of Cavite Gov. Jonvic Remulla to ban noisy, late-night karaoke amid the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic.<\/p>\n

In a virtual presser, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said Remulla\u2019s decision is a \u201cvalid exercise of local government power\u201d.<\/p>\n

He cited Article 694 of the New Civil Code or the provision about the abatement of nuisance.<\/p>\n

\u201cSa<\/em>\u00a0New Civil Code\u00a0po meron tayong proseso na tinawag na<\/em>\u00a0abatement of nuisance\u00a0at siyempre po kapag masyadong malakas ang mga<\/em>\u00a0karaoke,\u00a0puwede maging<\/em>\u00a0nuisance\u00a0po \u2018yan at ang<\/em>\u00a0abatement\u00a0po talaga ay nasa kamay ng mga lokal na pamahalaan<\/em>\u00a0(In the New Civil Code, we have what we call abatement of nuisance and of course, if karaoke is too loud, it can be a nuisance and abatement is in the hands of local government),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In a Facebook post last Tuesday, Remulla urged the public to report loud karaoke singers to authorities to prevent noise pollution.<\/p>\n

The public can report noisy karaoke singers through the Philippine National Police (PNP) hotline a +63 916 986 0679.<\/p>\n

This after his office received several complaints about the \u201ctireless abuse\u201d made by noisy karaoke singers.<\/p>\n

He emphasized that getting a good night’s sleep will help strengthen the immune system against Covid-19.<\/p>\n

\u201cAng<\/em>\u00a0curfew\u00a0ay hindi lamang ginawa para bawasan ang mga walang saysay na pag-gala sa gabi. Ito rin ay nilaan para palakasin ang pangangatawan sa pamamagitan ng masarap at mahimbing na pagtulog<\/em>\u00a0(Curfew isn’t just made to reduce nonsense night strolls. It is also meant to strengthen the body through a good and sound sleep),\u201d Remulla said.<\/p>\n

Remulla also said late-night karaoke is also considered as a violation of curfew hours under quarantine protocols.<\/p>\n

\u201cSorry po ngunit kahit sabihin ninyo pang kayo ay nasa loob naman ng inyong tahanan, ang ingay na dulot nito ay maituturing na labag na sa tinakdang<\/em>\u00a0curfew hours (Sorry, but even if you say you are inside your own homes, the noise it causes can be considered a violation of curfew hours),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Karaoke is a favorite pastime in the Philippines which makes it common for Filipinos to have karaokes in their own homes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
