IPI told to 'throw in the towel' on Saipan

IMPERIAL Pacific International's parent company in Hong Kong has been told to cease its casino business on Saipan that it can no longer afford to operate, IPI human resources director Redie Dela Cruz said during a meeting with the Commonwealth Casino Commission on Thursday.

Dela Cruz was responding to Commission Chairman Edward C. Deleon Guerrero who asked her, "At what point in time do you recommend [that] the company throw in the towel, and just let the employees know IPI is closing shop?"

The HR director replied, "I have already made that recommendation to the company."

Deleon Guerrero asked her if she made that recommendation in writing. She said she didn't.

The commission chairman asked the question during a discussion on IPI's failure to pay its remaining 30 employees for the March 21 to April 3 and April 4 to April 17 pay periods.
