If you\u2019re a business owner in Quezon City that uses signs written in a language other than English or Filipino, you may want to consider revising them.<\/p>\n

Quezon City Ordinance No. 2604-2017 ordered all establishments in Quezon City whose signboards within their premises were printed in a foreign language other than English are required to have a translation either in English or Filipino.<\/p>\n

Any establishment in Quezon City that hangs a sign in a foreign language without an accompanying English or Filipino translation will be slapped with a Php 5,000 fine and have their business permit suspended.<\/p>\n

Establishments include (but are not limited to) restaurants, bars, karaoke and sing-along bars, cocktail lounges, groceries, convenience stores, commercial buildings, hotels, inns, and lodging houses.<\/p>\n

The ordinance has been in effect since October 8, 2017, 60 days after it was signed by Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista, and was created for taxation purposes.<\/p>\n

\u201cKnowledge in the nature of business of the different business establishments in Quezon City is of paramount importance,\u201d the ordinance read.<\/p>\n
