Barangays in Iloilo City have been reminded to comply with the existing ordinances that regulate the use and operation of sound systems.

In a statement, Mayor Jerry Treñas said he instructed the Iloilo City Police Office (ICPO) to monitor the villages’ compliance to the measures.

According to the mayor, violators “will no longer be given permits for the use of [sound systems].”

“We need to co-exist with others who also need their rest. We need to follow the rules or there are consequences,” Treñas said.

“Life has rules we need to comply with or there will be chaos,” he added.IMT
