2. The second case discusses an executive order by the Mayor of Manila cancelling business permits within 200 meters of schools that sell alcohol.

Legal Aspects in Tourism and Hospitality Reinald Zach Ramos BSTM 3.2A Instructions: Read and analyze the following cases and respond with text or attachment. Case #1: Mr. Fernando Jose wishes to put-up an Php85-million sports complex within the vicinity of the Intramuros area. What advice will you give? Intramous are is one of the important historical places in Manila Philipines hence building within it is not such a great idea however would advise him to build near the area so long as he would not interfere with the historical site or he will not destroy the historical site. Before constructing a building within the Intramuros Zone, Mr. Fernando San Jose must first acquire approval from the Intramuros Administration for the architectural design of the building he intends to construct. Intramuros Administration, as we all know, is in charge of the orderly repair and growth of Intramuros. They must also ensure that Intramuros’ overall aspect is consistent with Philippine-Spanish architecture from the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries. If Mr. San Jose does not receive approval, he will be unable to construct his building in the Intramuros City area. Case #2: On July 25, 2019, Mayor Isko Moreno ordered the cancellation of all business permits of stores in Manila selling alcoholic drinks within the 200-meter range of schools and universities. Moreno said that the order would also affect convenience stores that sell liquor. Executive Order No. 17 mandates the Bureau of Permits and License Office (BPLO), City Treasurer’s Office, and business establishments to strictly observe Ordinance No. 3532 that prohibits the sale of intoxicating liquor within 200 meters of schools, and Ordinance No. 8520 that prohibits the sale of any alcoholic beverage to minors. Moreno, however, noted that establishments are still free to continue business as long as they would not sell alcoholic drinks to students. The executive order took effect immediately. On August 1, 2019, a week after the Executive Order has been issued, Moreno ordered the closure of at least seven (7) bars in Sherwood, Taft, for violation of city ordinances. He said business owners must mend their violations before they can operate again. Is this valid in relation to the power to regulate devolved by the Department of Tourism to local government units? No. The closure of bars for violation of city ordinances is not valid in relation to the power to regulate devolved by the Department of Tourism. It is said that the power to regulate have been devolved to the local government units but the “power to regulate” does not include the “power to prohibit the operation of establishments” without the process of law. Under section 6 of the Tourism Act of 2009, the power to regulate, license, and supervise tour operations and lodging facilities has been devolved to local government units; however, the power to regulate does not imply that they have the authority to prohibit the operation of the establishment without following the proper legal A complaint about a violation of consumer rights, unfair commercial practices, or misleading advertisements that are harmful to the interests of consumers as a group may be sent in writing or electronically to one of these authorities: the district collector or the regional commissioner.
