The City Garden Grand Hotel (CGGH) in Makati, the hotel where flight attendant Christine Dacera was found dead, will no longer be allowed to operate after the Department of Tourism (DOT) revoked its certificate of authority to operate due to fraudulent solicitation of business.
According to the DOT, 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… finds the CGGH in Makati City liable for the offense of gross and evident bad faith in dealing with clients/fraudulent solicitation of business or making any false, deceptive, or misleading claims or statements for the purpose of soliciting business from clients,” the DOT said in a statement.
