ANGELES CITY — An entertainment bar in Barangay Pampang here has been ordered shut down on April 17 for employing a 17-year-old minor.
IM KTV Bar, located in Timog Park Subdivision, faced closure as Mayor Carmelo “Pogi” Lazatin, Jr. continues to ensure the strict compliance of regulations of business establishments in the city.
“Alam naman po ninyo na mahigpit nating ipinapatupad ang mga regulations natin. Let us ensure that all are in compliance,” Lazatin said. “We will not allow any wrongdoings. The city government will file charges against the bar.”
Aside from the rescued minor who hails from Tagum City in Davao Del Norte and has been working in the bar since early January 2023, a total of 44 other employees were also taken to be assessed at the Ima Foundation.
