DILG warns malls: Follow health protocols or lose business permit

By Prince Golez

The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) on Wednesday warned that establishments that fail to adhere to the minimum public health standards could result in the revocation of their business permit.

During the Laging Handa public briefing, Undersecretary Jonathan Malaya said he noticed some business establishments aren’t following the government’s capacity and vaccination requirements.

“Ang DILG ay nagbibigay ng babala sa lahat ng mga business establishments na hindi sumusunod sa mga minimum public health standards at hindi nagrerequire ng mga vaccination card bago makapasok sa mga establishments. Sa mga establisyemento na mapapatunayang hindi sumusunod sa mga polisiyang ito, pwede ma-revoke ang kanilang safety seal at mawala ang kanilang 10 percent additional operational capacity,” according to Malaya.

“Kung merong repeated violations, ang DILG na mismo ang magrerekomenda ng suspensyon ng inyong business permit,” he added.

The DILG official instructed shopping malls to check the vaccination cards of visitors at all primary entrances.

“Napansin ko po ay maraming mga establisyemento hindi nagrerequire na makita yung mga vaccination card ng iba’t ibang dine-in customers nila. Kailangan sa pagpasok ng mall, kailangan ma-check na ang vaccination card ng mga papasok para malaman kung sila ay bakunado o hindi, and therefore, eligible na pumasok sa mga establishments,” Malaya also said.
