To our valued customers, we just want to notify you all, that the new bar called Power Hub who has opened with all our interior, equipment and more, has indeed nothing to do with us.
We have gotten several messages and calls from customers who has, like us, been confused and wanted to book a table in Jokers Arms.
However, the only thing we are confused about, is how all our property can suddenly belong to someone ells, or be used by someone ells, without any kind of deal or communication with us?
So we just want to clarify for those who, understandable, think its the same owners that re-opened. That it is not us, after the fire, we paid all our bills and waited for the fire report. We then found out our neighbor and landlord, had lied about the the fire report not being finished yet, for almost a month. So we went and got it ourself, and could see they signed and received if several weeks earlier. Official statement from fire department "accident by nature, no one is to blame".
After that we have tried and failed at many many attempts for communication, but all we could determine was that they had changed the locks and was refusing us access, to our own property.
Now we have tried to reach out to the new "self-proclaimed owners", but after initial contact, they are now refusing further communication as well, and that include with our lawyers.
This was just a short explanation to the benefit of all our former guests and customers, and we of course hope for a fair solution in the future. As all this is so very clear to everybody, besides the people who hides, or refuse to communicate and settle stuff the right way, we fully trust in the Filipino legal system, however long it will take.
Thanks to all the many people who have wrote us and shown their understanding, and shared the frustration with us. We welcome all the help we can get.
