A Bitter Pill

BCDA’s threatening locators, unit owners and sub-lessees who entered into contracts for a 50-year lease that they could be evicted if they do not assign their contracts with BCDA. The proposal clearly exposes the parties concerned to graft and corruption since once the properties of locators, lessees and tenants are returned to BCDA. The fact is that BCDA cannot dispose them without the proper public bidding to these properties.

Even Baguio Mayor Mauricio Domogan asked both BCDA and JHMC to stop issuing statements that divert the public’s attention from the fact that they themselves were to blame for the nullification of the contract. Arnel Casanova made this circus according to his planned tactics against CJHDevCo. What ashame for his arrogant behavior.

Finally, the Regional Trial Court of Baguio City confirms award to CJHDevCO! This is good news not only JOHN HAY DEVELOPER but to all residents and locators inside the camp and to the City of Baguio itself.

For the Sobrepena group, the decision is a vindication for the company and proved one thing - that CJHDevCo the aggrieved party in the BCDA vs CJHDevCo legal battle.

Atty. Yniguez said that BCDA wants to evade payment of the P1.4 billion money award by rousing the existing locators, Lessees and tenants to lay claim to the P1.4 billion rentals BCDA is supposed to pay back to CJHDEVCO.

The developer of Baguio City’s Camp John Hay (CJH) offered legal assistance to tenants, lessees and locators in the complex said to be facing eviction by the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA).

CJH Development Corp. (CJHDevCo) chief operating officer Alfredo Yniguez, in a statement, claimed BCDA was rousing existing locators and sublessees to file suit against the company following the issuance of an arbitration resolution on the Camp John Hay contract.

Yniguez assured that CJHDevCo would provide legal services to protect the rights of all third-party locators, lessees and tenants who are facing eviction from the camp.

 

This is a very sensitive accusation is this true Arnel Casanova? To some degree I think this true that Casanova does not want the return of the Camp with its existing locators, lessees and tenants. He wants to evict them and his wish is for CJHDEVCO to pay the costs of eviction of the existing locators, lessees and tenants. I think this is a Bitter Pill that BCDA needs to swallow because there's no way out of it now.
