THE lawyer for the Las Vegas Music Lounge was unable to meet Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama to discuss about lifting the closure order on the club.
Lawyer Innocencio dela Cerna said the club’s employees haven’t been paid since the club was closed last Dec. 23.
“It doesn’t even include the suppliers. Let’s just forget about the women because they’re not employees,” he said.
Rama met with City Hall department heads at the time. Dela Cruz waited for more than an hour before he finally left the mayor’s office past noontime.
Dela Cerna said he was also prepared to appear before the City Anti-Indecency Board (CAIB) if called to a meeting.
“I will not just give in for the sake of giving. Dili na pwede ang hubo hubo (Nudity is prohibited),” he said.
Rama said the music lounge management will have to assure him that they will only be operating a “wholesome” business.
The mayor said while it is okay to operate a music lounge offering liquor, singing and dancing to its customers, he will insist on prohibiting lewd shows.
