The Department of Tourism (DoT), in a resolution released today, has found the City Garden Grand Hotel (CGGH) in Makati City liable for the “offense of gross and evident bad faith in dealing with clients/fraudulent solicitation of business” after accommodating guests for leisure purposes despite being a quarantine facility.
CGGH is the accommodation establishment where Philippine Airlines flight attendant Christine Angelica Dacera was found lifeless in one of its rooms last Jan. 1.
The DoT said the hotel has made “false, deceptive, or misleading claims or statements for the purpose of soliciting business from clients under Section 13.2 (c) of DoT Memorandum Circular No. 2018-03.”
