Dumaguete residents complain
of noise from motorbikes, MC
BY JUANCHO GALLARDE

Have our city authorities become deaf from the constant exposure to the irritating and deafening noise of motorcycles with open exhaust pipes, pedicabs and occasional cars plying the streets of Dumaguete?

The question was asked by concerned citizens, who complained of “speed and noise maniacs”, who race and ply the streets of Dumaguete even in the wee hours of the morning.

Resident Florante Vicuna, in his letter to Mayor Manuel Sagarbarria, said loud noise is stressful, and stress is a major cause of heart attacks and nervous breakdowns. In fact, he said, that out of frustration and anger, some of his friends who live along the national highway in Daro have thought of taking the law into their hands, buy airguns and shoot these motorists, or lay a fishing line across the road with fishing hooks, then pull them up as soon as they hear noisy motorcycles coming.
