Apo View Hotel general manager Mariano “Sonny” Pamintuan Jr. said they were surprised by Duterte’s statement in his Sunday television program “Gikan sa Masa, Para sa Masa,” which mention’s the hotel’s alleged violation of the anti-smoking ordinance.
“I am alarmed by this because I personally have not seen them (Koreans) smoking other than in approved designated smoking areas and in the open-air garden or parking lot which is where they are often seen,” Pamintuan said in his letter to the mayor.
He said if there were indeed violation by some of their Korean guests “then it has been on the sly” or behind their backs or in the privacy of their offices or inside the Casino. It was learned that the hotel’s Casino is off limits to Filipinos.
Wow - Quite trhe movement here! Zero smoke hotels!

Since the hotel is in the vicinity of Davao City, it should respect and follow the anti-smoking ordinance imposed by the City goverment.

the hotel should have smoking detector, when some people smoking in the forbidden area, the center management office will notice about it.

Even more of a reason to shift to vapor smoking if you can't kick the habit. More and more hotels that I stay in forbid smoking in the hotel altogether, and many are extending this ban to the property as well.
