2 QC bars shut down for violating protocols

The Quezon City government on Wednesday permanently closed down two bars for allegedly violating health protocols as well as conducting illegal activities amid the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.

According to Raffy Tima’s report on “24 Oras,” the Baia Luna KTV bar along Timog Avenue and the Chaps KTV bar along Quezon Avenue both did not have permits to operate.

The Baia Luna KTV bar was previously temporarily shut.  Meanwhile, the Chaps KTV bar was found to be conducting illegal activities.

“Kaya personal ko itong pinuntahan, itong dalawa, sapagkat bukod sa wala silang business permit… meron na silang na silang natagpuan na 10 kababaihan dito… at sa Baia Luna naman ay 47 women,” Mayor Joy Belmonte said.
