SAPUL SA CCTV: Ang mga huling oras ni Christine Dacera

Sa isang CCTV footage, makikita ang flight attendant na si Christine Dacera bago ito nasawi.



The Department of Tourism (DOT) on Thursday served a six-month suspension, as well as a P10,000 fine and the revocation of its certification to operate on Makati’s City Garden Grand Hotel, which hosted a New Year’s revelry that later led to the death of flight attendant Christine Dacera.

In a statement, the DOT said that the hotel “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.”

“Under DOT Administrative Order No. 2020-002-C, hotels operating as quarantine facilities are prohibited from accepting guests for leisure purposes,” the DOT said.

But the tourism department said that the hotel “has the right to appeal within the period prescribed by the DOT rules and regulations.”

The DOT likewise reminded that accredited establishments serving as quarantine facilities could not offer their rooms and other facilities for leisure purposes.

On Jan. 5, the DOT issued a show-cause order against City Garden Grand Hotel, directing hotel management to submit a written response within three days why its DOT accreditation should not be revoked.
