Gentle Hands says the state of its building during the latest inspection was the same as when it was inspected and granted its fire safety certificate in March.
MANILA, Philippines – The Quezon City Fire District revoked on Thursday, May 25, the fire safety inspection certificate of orphanage Gentle Hands. This comes two days after the Department of Social Welfare and Development pulled the children out of the facility for alleged living standards violations.
“Our office is strictly monitoring for compliance and corrections of the defects and deficiencies stipulated in the Notice to Comply, which we have immediately issued after the conduct of the said fire safety inspection,” Bañaga added. The fire exit was obstructed by two high chairs during the Gatchalian’s surprise visit, but these were later removed. That obstruction was one of the reasons that led to the DSWD issuing a cease and desist order to Gentle Hands on Monday, May 22.Play VideoAccording to Gentle Hands counsel Tina Balajadia, their group has its fire safety certificate renewed every first quarter of the year. They applied for the latest one in January 11, 2023.
In a spot monitoring report the DSWD gave to Gentle Hands on Tuesday, May 23, just before the children were pulled out, the DSWD also said that the grilles installed on their windows were a fire risk.
