(UPDATE) THE Makati City government on Monday issued a closure order against Smart Communications Inc. for operating without a business permit and owing the city over P3.2 billion in unpaid franchise tax.

In a statement Monday, Makati City Administrator Claro Certeza said businesses in Makati operating without a valid business permit 'are essentially operating outside the law.'
