In a vote of 10-0-0, the Sangguniang Bayan approves on third and final reading an ordinance totally prohibiting the fabrication, distribution, installation, and use of modified mufflers and sound boosters or “wabwab” in motor vehicles plying the roads and thoroughfares in the municipality.

The measure aims to reduce noise pollution and corresponding nuisances emitted by motor vehicles, particularly motorcycles and tricycles installed with modified muffling devices that interfere with peace and harmony of the environment.

The Ordinance will now be transmitted to the Municipal Mayor for her consideration and approval.

Other applications for development permits and proposed ordinances were likewise deliberated on by the Body.
