QC bar closed due to alleged violation of health and safety protocols, curfew hours

The Quezon City Business Permit and Licensing Office (QC-BPLO) on Wednesday ordered the closure of a bar in Tomas Morato due to alleged violation of health and safety protocols and public safety hours.

In a Super Radyo dzBB report by Glen Juego, retired Colonel Mar Pedroso, chief of BPLO Enforcement Division, said a video taken from the En Route Distillery Bar at the Tomas Morato Street and Scout Delgado showed that too many customers were drinking.

The bar also operated beyond the public safety hours or curfew, which is until 12 midnight.
