Seven members of a Filipino band were arrested recently for working illegally at a popular pub in Chaweng. Police visited the Top Ten Pub, located at 99 Chaweng beach road, on complaints of nearby residents who found its music too loud. A police team led by Pol. Maj. Yuttana Sirisombut and Pol. Capt. Tapprasit Samsi dropped by the place and invited its owner, a Swiss national, to come to the police station for a dialogue. The owner, police said, refused the invitation. The team then had to approach the band to stop playing. Police then asked for the working permit of each member of the band. All seven could not present any work permits so were arrested for working illegally. The seven band members were identified as Noel Arca, 26; Romulo Aldaba Jr., 30; Mark Ancheta, 26; Reynaldo Galvez, Jr. 38; Rommel Lopez, 40; Maryluz Bael, 30 and Mary Magdaline Garcia, 25. -- CT |
