(CRN) Cuachon Rail Network | Baguio City Hall Siren @Voyagerthe2nd | Uploaded January 2019 | Updated October 2024, 16 hours ago.
If you're a foreigner or just another person visiting Baguio like me, you would notice hearing a siren at least everyday, especially when you wander around Burnham Park around 6am, 12noon or 6pm. This clip was taken at my grandparents' house approximately 400 metres from the city hall, pretty terrifying for me though.
Anyway, the thrice-daily sirens from the city hall which sound off at 6am, 12noon and 6pm daily has been a tradition in Baguio for a very long time, possibly before World War II.
The sirens sound off to call the city of Baguio for prayer - The Angelus, prayed usually on 6am and 6pm but for some hardcore Catholics pray this at 12noon also.
It is a tradition that has existed in Baguio for several decades even before my parents were born. Some may object to the sirens especially tourists, assuming that there's a nuclear meltdown everyday but the sirens assist those who show their dedication for God, espeically in the Philippines which is a predominantly Catholic country, to prayer.
