Question
The hotel sector is one of the industries that were greatly affected by the corona virus pandemic. There are many post-recovery strategies implemented by hotels specifically during the early months of their reopening to assure the safety of the guests and the community. Read the attached image file and state your opinion:
  1. Was there a negligence on the part of Berjaya Hotel Makati?
  2. What could have been done to avoid lapses in security during the quarantine?
  3. Do you think that the Makati City Hall is just in ordering the closure of Berjaya Makati Hotel? Why or Why not?
BERJAYA MAKATI-PHILIPPINES HOTEL BERJAYA MAKATI HOTEL PUBLIC STATEMENT January 6, 2022 The order by the Makati City Hall closing down Berjaya Makati Hotel's operations based on the suspension order issued by the Department of Tourism is WITHOUT LEGAL BASIS. For one (1) the DOT order is not yet final as the hotel will appeal it within the fifteen-day period it is given. Meanwhile, the suspension is not in effect. Secondly (2) there is no law that penalizes a hotel for not reporting a guest who jumps quarantine. There is nothing in R.A. 13322 that is applicable to the hotel. Thirdly (3) we must be accorded due process and be allowed to explain before any penalty is imposed. We have not been given our day in court by the Makati City Hall. On the operations level, if we close down the hotel immediately, where do we send our present quarantine guests? We have 18 guests who have tested positive and who have yet to be pulled out by the Bureau of Quarantine, and 100 who are in the middle of their quarantine. We also have around 20 arriving quarantine guests per day and have paid in advance. The inconvenience to the public is incalculable, unnecessary and preventable. The whole country is on war footing in effect against the pandemic. Every quarantine hotel, just like ours, serves a strategic purpose especially with the lack of rooms while the virus rampages throughout. To close down a quarantine hotel for no legal reason is to close down a hospital just when it is helping to win the war. There is no benefit to be gained by such regulatory posturing when national interest and public health are on the line.
