Mga ka-ANCOP, oras na upang magkaisa at kumilos!
Marami na sa atin ang araw-araw na pinahihirapan ng ingay, mula sa mga nagvi-videoke, motorsiklo, tricycle, o establishment na walang pakialam sa kapwa. Ngayon, panahon na upang marinig ang ating tinig!

Tayo po sa Anti-Noise Crusaders of the Philippines (ANCOP) ay nananawagan sa lahat ng noise victims at concerned citizens na sumama at maging miyembro ng ating organisasyon.
Ang laban na ito ay hindi lamang laban ng iilan, kundi laban ng bawat Pilipinong nagnanais ng tahimik, payapa, at maayos na komunidad.

Tandaan natin, numbers game ang labanan. Kung tayo ay magkaisa, mas malakas ang ating boses. Mas maririnig tayo. Mas kikilalanin tayo.

Kaya’t tulungan natin ang ANCOP Core Council at mga officers na palakasin, palawakin, at paramihin ang ating mga kasapi.

Ang ating sandata ay dedikasyon, katapangan, katapatan, at pagkakaisa.
Hindi natin kailangang matakot, sapagkat ang batas ay kakampi natin. May karapatan tayong ipaglaban ang katahimikan at kaayusan ng ating pamayanan, at ito ay mismong kinikilala at pinoprotektahan ng batas!

Kaya mga ka-ANCOP. Sama-sama tayo. Tulong-tulong tayo. Ipaglaban natin ang ating karapatan laban sa ingay at mga nag-iingay.
Isang tahimik na komunidad, isang payapang Pilipinas, 'Yan ang ating dapat maging laban. ‘Yan ang ating dapat maging paninindigan.

Tahimik na Bayan, Masayang Pamilya at Pamayanan! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧🏡

Presidential Decree No. 856 (PD 856), also known as the Code on Sanitation of the Philippines.

Let’s focus on what it says (and implies) about noise from pets such as dogs, cats, or roosters.

Legal Basis: PD 856 – Code on Sanitation of the Philippines

Chapter VI – Nuisances and Offensive Trades and Occupations
and
Chapter XVII – Sewage Collection and Excreta Disposal, and related rules deal with environmental sanitation and nuisance control.

However, the specific rule about animal noise appears more directly under:

> Chapter XIX – Noise Pollution
> Section 78. Responsibility for Noise Abatement
> “No person shall cause, suffer, or permit the emission of unnecessary, excessive, or unusual noise that annoys, disturbs, injures, or endangers the comfort, repose, health, or safety of others.”

-Interpretation for Pets (Dogs, Cats, Roosters, etc.)

While PD 856 does not explicitly mention animals or pets, the general prohibition against “unnecessary or excessive noise” applies to any source including animal sounds if:

> They are loud and repetitive, and
> They disturb neighbors’ peace, comfort, or rest (especially at night).

Thus, owners are responsible for controlling pet noise under PD 856 and related local ordinances.

Related Supporting Laws & Rules

1. RA 386 – Civil Code of the Philippines, Article 694
Defines a nuisance as “anything which annoys or offends the senses, or obstructs the free use of property.”

2. Local Government Code (RA 7160)
Authorizes barangays, cities, and municipalities to regulate or penalize noise disturbances, including those from pets or animals.

3. Municipal/City Ordinances
Most LGUs (e.g., Quezon City, Muntinlupa, Manila, etc.) have specific ordinances on pet noise, often penalizing:

• Continuous barking or crowing, especially at night.
• Failure to confine animals causing public disturbance.

📣 CALL TO MAYORS: TIME TO REVISIT THE “10 PM NOISE RULE” FOR GOOD GOVERNANCE

Many local ordinances interpret the “10 PM rule” as the only limit for noise control — allowing noise before 10 PM. This has led to abuse by noise polluters who believe they can make as much noise as they want as long as it’s not yet 10 PM.

But under Article 682 of the Civil Code of the Philippines (RA 386),

> Every building or piece of land is subject to an easement which prohibits the proprietor or possessor from committing nuisance through noise, jarring, offensive odor, smoke, heat, dust, water, glare, and other causes.

This means that nuisance through noise is unlawful at any time, day or night. The right to peace and quiet is not suspended until 10 PM — it is protected 24 hours a day.

We therefore call on all mayors and local government units to:

1. Review and amend existing noise control ordinances, ensuring they align with the Civil Code and national environmental laws (PD 1152, PD 856, RA 8749, and NPCCMemorandumCircular002-1980).
2. Clarify that the 10 PM rule is not a license to create noise before that time.
3. Enforce stronger penalties and awareness campaigns to protect citizens’ right to a peaceful and healthy environment.

Noise control is not just about time — it’s about respect, health, and good governance.
Let us uphold our right to live in peace and dignity.

Why Noise is Prohibited under the Law

Noise becomes a legal concern when it interferes with the rights of others. The law recognizes that excessive noise can:

• Disturb peace and quiet – Everyone has the right to live and rest in a reasonably quiet environment.
• Affect health – Loud, persistent noise can cause stress, insomnia, headaches, and even hearing damage.
• Interrupt normal activities – Such as work, study, and personal life.
• Be a nuisance – According to the Civil Code of the Philippines, Art. 682 & 694, anything that obstructs or perverts the free use of property is considered a nuisance.

Legal References

Law / Provision. What it says.

> Civil Code, Art. 682 - Every property is subject to an easement against nuisance (noise, smoke, odor, etc.).
> Civil Code, Art. 694 - Nuisance is any act or thing that harms others’ rights; the affected person can demand its removal and claim damages.
> PD 1152 (Philippine Environment Code) - Sets maximum allowable noise levels for residential, commercial, and industrial areas.
> RA 8749 (Clean Air Act) - Noise is considered a form of environmental pollution; authorities may enforce limits to protect public health.

Excessive noise that disturbing, or harmful noise is prohibited because it interferes with others’ rights and well-being.

2️⃣ How to Deal with Noisy Neighbors

Here’s a practical, step-by-step approach:

Step 1: Document the Noise

> Keep a - log of dates, times, duration, and type of noise.
> Record audio or video if possible.
> Collect testimonies from other affected neighbors.

Step 2: Talk to Your Neighbor

> Politely explain the problem.
> Show them your log or recordings to demonstrate the impact.
> Sometimes, people aren’t aware they are disturbing others.

Step 3: File a Barangay Complaint

> If talking doesn’t work, submit a formal complaint to your barangay.
> Include evidence: logs, recordings, and witness statements.
> Barangay can mediate and issue warnings.

Step 4: Escalate to LGU or DENR

> If the noise persists, report to City/Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO/MENRO) or DENR.
> They can inspect, measure noise levels, and enforce regulations like PD 1152.

Step 5: Legal Action (Optional)

> As a last resort, file a civil case for nuisance under Art. 694 of the Civil Code.You may seek:

1. Injunction – to stop the noise
2. Damages – for harm caused by the nuisance

Key Principle: Your right to peace and quiet ends where another’s behavior interferes with your rights. The law protects your right to a habitable, safe, and quiet environment, and authorities can intervene to stop the nuisance.

You have the right to live in peace. If your neighbors keep disturbing it, you can take legal action. ✊🏽⚖️

Karapatan Mo sa Tahimik na Pamumuhay: Protektado ng Batas!

1️⃣ Civil Code – RA 386, Art. 682 & 694

Art. 682 (Easement against nuisance)

● Bawat lupa o gusali ay may obligasyon na hindi maging sanhi ng abala o perwisyo sa karapatan ng ibang tao.
Halimbawa: ingay, alikabok, usok, init, liwanag, amoy, o anumang nakakaabala.
Ibig sabihin: Kung ikaw ay may bahay o negosyo, hindi ka puwedeng mag-ingay na nakakaistorbo sa kapitbahay mo.

Art. 694 (Nuisance / Perwisyo)

● Ang anumang bagay o gawain na nakakasira sa karapatan ng iba o nakakaabala sa malayang paggamit ng kanilang ari-arian ay itinuturing na nuisance.
Kung may ganitong perwisyo, ang apektadong tao ay may karapatan na:

1. Pagpapatigil sa sanhi ng nuisance.
2. Paghabol ng danyos o kabayaran sa pinsala.

Paliwanag sa ingay:

● Kapag ang kapitbahay ay sobrang ingay, nakakaistorbo sa pagtulog, trabaho, o pang-araw-araw na buhay mo, ito ay perwisyo ayon sa batas.
Hindi mahalaga kung gabi man o araw—kung nakakasira sa karapatan mo, may karapatan kang magreklamo.

2️⃣ Environmental Laws – PD 1152 at RA 8749

● PD 1152 (Philippine Environment Code) – Noise Regulation

> Naglalagay ng maximum allowable noise levels depende sa lugar: residential, commercial, o industrial.
> Nagbibigay ng regulasyon laban sa labis na ingay para protektahan ang kalusugan at kapakanan ng publiko.
> Ingay ay environmental pollution kapag lumampas sa limit.

● RA 8749 (Clean Air Act)

> Ingay ay itinuturing na bahagi ng polusyon sa kapaligiran.
> Sinasabi rin dito na may karapatan ka na hilingin ang aksyon ng awtoridad laban sa nagdudulot ng polusyon o nuisance.

3️⃣ NPCC Memorandum Circular 002, s. 1980

> Naglalaman ng rules on permissible noise levels at hours of activity.
> Sa kabila ng taon nito, ang DENR ang may supervision at puwede itong ipatupad kung may reklamo sa labis na ingay.
> Layunin: protektahan ang mamamayan laban sa abala at pinsala sa kalusugan.

4️⃣ Bakit dapat kang magreklamo?

1. Proteksyon ng batas – Ang Art. 682 at 694 ng Civil Code ay malinaw na nagbibigay proteksyon laban sa nuisance.
2. Karapatan mo bilang may-ari o naninirahan – May karapatan kang humiling na patigilin ang nakakaistorbong gawain.
3. Kalusugan at kapakanan – Labis na ingay ay maaaring magdulot ng stress, problema sa pagtulog, at iba pang sakit.
4. Legal na obligasyon ng awtoridad – Kapag may reklamo, puwedeng ipatigil ng LGU o DENR ang sobra-sobrang ingay kahit Sabado, Linggo, o araw pa ito.

5️⃣ Bakit mas kinikilala ng batas ang karapatan mo?

> Prinsipyo: “Your right ends where another person’s right begins.”
> Ingay na perwisyo: Hindi lamang istorbo; ito ay paglabag sa karapatan mo sa maayos na pamumuhay.
> Batas ay mas nagbibigay halaga sa proteksyon ng kalusugan at karapatan ng nakakaapekto sa iba, kaysa sa kagustuhan ng gumagawa ng ingay.

Key takeaway:

> Hindi mo kailangan hintayin ang gabi o weekdays para magreklamo.
> Ang ingay na nakakaistorbo ay nuisance at labag sa Civil Code, RA 8749, NPCC-MC 002-1980, at PD 1152.
> Maaari kang humingi ng aksyon mula sa barangay, LGU, o DENR upang ipatigil ang perwisyo at humingi ng danyos kung may pinsala.
