Anti-Profanity Ordinance has already been signed by Baguio City Mayor Mauricio Domogan. KAMI learned that the ordinance prohibits profane words in places that are usually visited by children such as schools, computer shops, and other establishments.
As reported by GMA News, the ordinance also prohibits cursing and insulting others whether indirectly or directly. Violators will be penalized with a “talk”. However, when it already occurred multiple times, it could lead to suspension or expulsion.
