MAKIKIPAGTULUNGAN ang management ng Greenhills Center sa House committee on Labor and Employment na nagsasagawa ng pagdinig kaugnay ng paghostage ng isang security guard sa mahigit 50 katao kamakailan.
Humarap sa pagdinig si Wilbert Dimzon, Mall Operations Head ng Greenhills Center, upang tiyakin na sila ay makikipagtulungan sa komite sa paggawa ng kinakailangang batas.
“We, as a company, commit our full cooperation so that we can unravel the truth, find justice for the innocent victims whose lives were compromised and, most especially, assure the public that we, as a responsible establishment operator is taking steps to address all concerns raised during the incident; and we pledge to commit with the best of our abilities, all that we can to avoid such violence from happening again,” ani Dimzon.

“We, the Management of Greenhills Center is truly grateful for the opportunity granted to us today (Tuesday) as we are allowed to be a part of this hearing. The Greenhills Center is a reputable establishment that has been a part of Filipino retail culture for 50 years now,” dagdag pa ni Dimzon. “We have been an established trading hub that has provided thousands of jobs to many and we have served generations of Filipinos and customers for more than five decades already.”
Noong Marso 2 ay hinostage ni Alchie Paray ang mahigit 50 katao sa Greenhills Shopping Center bilang protesta sa mali umanong pagtrato ng mga opisyal sa kanilang mga guwardya.
“I myself, as the Mall Operations Head, was a hostage, and witnessed on ground this horrifying ordeal which bestowed fear and trauma on my colleagues whose lives were innocently endangered during the whole hostage crisis. Such forms of violence should never be tolerated. We are humbled to be given a voice in this proceeding that seeks to understand, in aid of legislation, the circumstances surrounding the incident,” aniya.
