Cebu Life: Talamban Barangay Tanods And the Captain Do Not Enforce Discoral Rules. WTF!

Yes. you read it right. Crap. They are supposed to be the local enforcers within the barangay but instead, they do not enforce simple laws like until what time annoying discorals should be allowed. Anybody wanting to blast out music to neighboring areas should respect the rule of law: 12 midnight on weekdays and 2AM […]

Barangay Apas Fiesta For The Nth Time

Oh boy … what is going on with Barangay Apas. Are there too many chapels around the area that in a single year, there are countless discorals held every time?

I am not exaggerating. This is fact.

Worse, I cannot understand why the Barangay Tanods themselves and even the Captain will not even follow the law when loud events such as discorals should be stopped at midnight on a weekday and 2AM on a weekend?

These people are useless. I mean. What the hell? Stopping the discoral music at 7AM in the morning?! Last night, they stopped the music at around 5:41AM sharp. My father in law even told me they planned to stop it at 7AM.

So what were all these tanods doing? While I may not be living so near where the discoral took place, I pity those who do especially children who have to wake up early in the morning for school. You think they were able to get a good night’s sleep?

Hell, I slept at 1AM and kept waking up because of the loud music. I cannot even say what I heard was music. It was more of a broken down sound system where I only heard bass from it.

This so called fiesta or whatsoever started last Sunday. While they stopped at around midnight, last night was the main encore. They literally fired up every part of their sound system to full blast.

It has been 3 weeks that I had not had a good sleep. I know I will get hit with sickness soon. I just hope my body can persist. It is hard when one gets sick.

These tanods and captain were voted by the people to do their job. I figure they probably joined in on the fun till sawa and drank all night they forgot what the time limit is for discoral events.

This cannot be tolerated. This has been going on for the last few years when I started living somewhere in this area.

These tanods and captain are educated that is for sure. But one thing is certain, they do not act like one. If they cannot do and regulate what needs to be done, then they are not fit for the positions they are in.

Why Some Of Cebu’s Barangay Tanods Are Useless

I refrained from using the word “all” because generalizing something is never accurate. There will always be some exceptions. In the case of barangay tanods, if some of you may get to read this then read on and see if you are one of the useless tanods in Cebu or not.

Even the simples rules cannot be followed. What is the curfew rule for noise pollution like discoral? 3AM on a weekend, right? Rather than waste my precious life staring at the ceiling because I could not sleep because of the discoral, I decided to stay up and write this post.

Yes, you read it right. Discoral. Ain’t 3AM the latest time that some shit discoral can operate? 12AM on a weekday? Past 3AM I woke up because some discoral in Apas is still playing right now.

While it may not be so loud from where I am since the discoral is not right beside our place, imagine how annoying it is for those living very near it. I hate the bass sounds and their boomboxes that sound like relics.

So pray tell what the hell those barangay tanods are doing? Jamming with the beat instead of monitoring the time and telling those discoral staff to pack up and leave?

Yes, tanods. If discorals in your area of jurisdiction do not abide the rules, then you are useless. I have no idea why you won in the recent election. Such a simple rule that you fail to enforce …

Such a pity.

As for me, good luck if I will be able to sleep back at this time. This discoral will stop around 7AM. As is such the norm.
