Hey can you guys stop drinking after 12?

New Baguio City council eyes revival of nightspot curfew

A revived curfew on nightspots could be one of the first ordinances that the Baguio City government will prioritize after its new officials take their oaths on June 30.

Sun-Star Baguio (www.sunstar.com.ph) reported Sunday night that Baguio councilor-elect Galo Weygan is confident the incoming city council will back ratify his proposal to limit operations of liquor-serving businesses.

But Weygan admitted that even if the plan has the backing of Baguio mayor-elect Reinaldo Bautista Jr., there has to be an ordinance for it.

For his part, Bautista said the city government can take speedy executive action, if only to protect local and visiting students, especially those in college."

"I don't think that gaining money while sacrificing the safety of our kids has room in our locality. It's simply not showing how civil our society is," he said.

Weygan backed the planned revival of the curfew after the city government noted a rise in complaints on violence committed because of drunkenness.

But this time, he said the revived curfew should involve the active participation of the police, and not just the Anti-vice Task Force, which he also heads.

Under the proposed measure, retail stores selling liquor can operate only until 9 p.m., while bars and cocktail lounges at 12 midnight and discos can operate until 2 a.m.

The city government earlier imposed a 9 p.m. curfew for minors but this did not do much to lessen crimes in the city vice spots.

Reports reaching the Office of the City Mayor revealed that night crimes, mostly physical altercations, involved adults aged 18-30 years old.

Vice spots already identified as possible targets for the prospective order are those along Magsaysay, Maharlika Livelihood Center, Nevada Square and Otek Street. The time boundary mulled for serving liquor in these areas would be until 12 midnight on weekdays and 1 a.m. on weekends.

weeeee.. i suggest you guys find a great spot to continue drinking sessions when the curfew's in effect.. like Archy's place. > >

thats nice!   ;D

Nah it's too far and you need to swim to get there.

If this becomes an ordinance, all Baguio bars might get affected.

Then, an alternative business for them must be planned and contingency measures  must be

prepared  to cushion that possible set back.

But some actually go until past midnight by locking up and closing the curtains.

kanya nga....do the BARS AT HOME GIMIK na lang...

make your small bar at home and then we hang out there!

o di ba?? O0

How about hotels with a bar?

12 am curfew is just and necessary...especially for those who doesnt seem to know the essence of drinking and drink till they drop...after the curfew, they can have it at home...at least balay, lesser tendency (not absolutely though) for violence to take place.

Curfews are very effective for young people especially when they go out late night. Not only would it prevent crimes but it prevents theives and hoduppers to  victimized people goint late nights. But parents should set curfews for their children especially for the minors.

Minors will no longer allowed outside past 7pm. Maharlika might go bankrupt. ;D

yeah! saw the cartoon of the Midland about the 7PM curfew. funny >

thank goodness im not a minor... hehehe

but seriously, this would help a lot of parents regarding some of the children enjoying the temptations of the night... i hope it would help minimize vampirism.  >

it's about time they imposed an iron hand. brats
