A BUSINESSMAN has asked the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) to revoke the license of interior designer Nina Santamaria, the head of Grupo Santamaria, a design team formed in 2003. Robert Bjorn Santos said he was prompted to file the petition with PRC after Santamaria failed to carry out the renovation of his ancestral home in Valenzuela City in 2009 to his satisfaction. As a result, Santos said he rescinded his contract with the respondent in January 2010 and filed a civil case against her in which he demanded P5 million in damages. According to him, Santamaria failed to implement the renovation in accordance with their agreement. He also cited delays and flaws in the project due to the respondent’s negligence to supervise her personnel and update him on the progress of the renovation. However, Santamaria’s lawyer, D. Anissia Salvador, told the PRC that there were no grounds for the case against her. “The delays were the fault of the condition of the house and the suppliers. The contract states that these delays are not chargeable to my client,” she said. She added that Santos “unilaterally” stopped the renovations and thus, his complaints were premature considering that the contractors had yet to finish their work. Jaymee T. Gamil
