Karaoke, ‘noise pollution’ banned during classes in Muntinlupa

IN a bid to assist students and teachers during online or blended classes, including employees on a work-from-home (WFH) setup, the Muntinlupa local government unit (LGU) is banning the use of karaoke and other activities that create unnecessary noise disturbing residents in their study time and work at home.

Mayor Jaime Fresnedi signed City Ordinance 2020-142, regulating the use of karaoke, videoke and other similar equipment, causing “noise pollution” in the community during weekdays and limiting its use and operation to weekends.
