Gerry Marquez, urban poor consultant of Mayor Tomas Osmeña, has recommended for the closure of Club Pump after he confirmed that said disco pub owned by Julian Sy and Tano Ty caused “too much noise in the area.”

Cabay said she already talked to the disco pub owners and requested them to “lower their sounds because it would affect hotel clients who could no longer sleep because of the loud noise the club creates till dawn.”
She added that the disco pub owners already promised to her last March that they would install sound-proof devices on their walls to minimize noise, but that the promise was not fulfilled. “Instead, the situation worsens when noise becomes louder starting May,” she said.

The city’s anti-noise ordinance provides that operators of business establishments involving loud sounds, including video-karaoke bars, are required to install sound-proof devices.

“What I’m trying to put across here is the message that if you’re into a disco club business fronting a hotel, and making very loud disco and techno music until the morning, then you must be considerate and responsible enough by installing sound-proof devices,” Cabay said in her letter. — Rene U.
