The Department of Tourism has suspended for six months the operations of City Garden Grand Hotel in Makati City in violation of quarantine and health protocols. Flight attendant Christine Dacera together with her friends stayed at the said hotel during New Year’s eve.
Dacera’s body was found lifeless in the bathtub of the hotel.
“Upon investigation, the CGGH was found to have misrepresented itself to the public as being allowed to accommodate guests for leisure or staycation purposes despite being a quarantine facility,” the DOT said in a statement.
“The pieces of evidence showed that even prior to the incident and until now, the CGGH is marketing packages to accept leisure guests and never indicated that it is a quarantine hotel,” added the DOT.
“The DOT hereby warns all accredited accommodation establishments to confine their operations to the authority given them, limited to just one per given time,” said the DOT.
