Camp John Hay Investors are no Pushovers

The 1,631 investors, locators, shareholders and sub-lesses are have formed an alliance and are fighting back to protect their rights in Camp John Hay. They have filed a petition to the Court of Appeals to clarify and set the record straight. A temporary restraining order (TRO) was also asked to stop the Baguio RTC from evicting property owners who acted in good faith.

CJHDEVCO versus BCDA Who Will Win?

The Philippine Dispute Resolution Center (PRCI) ordered the Bases Conversion Development Authority (BCDA) to return to CJHDEVCO the total amount of P1,421,096,052.00 representing the rental payment made by the developer based on the lease agreement. The Baguio RTC issued last April 14, 2015 a writ of execution to implement the PDRCI decision to shell out P1.42 billion in exchange for CJHDEVCO to move out from Camp John Hay.

Business venture turned philanthropic crusade to help, educate the poor

 

Helping people, the less fortunate, is natural for Filipinos, particularly those who have achieved their success from humble beginnings. Nilo S. Gret, a former Bank Executive and native of Tiaong, Quezon province, is one of those Filipinos. He pioneered the first technical school in Tiaong, Quezon, where it is helping local students pursue paying careers with TESDA backed certified training.

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.

Philam Life offers Filipinos financial protection even at early stages of a critical illness

Health is seen as a top concern of Filipinos – as they tend to prioritize their and their family’s health. Health setbacks, especially life-threatening critical illnesses, after all, can cost much and derail the family’s finances, while taking away precious moments that the family could have spent together.

This was found by the “AIA Survey on Middle Class Hopes and Aspirations ” conducted by Philam Life’s parent company, AIA, the leading pan-Asian insurance group.  The study revealed that “being healthy” is one of the top goals in life among middle class Filipinos. More so, “unexpected emergencies” and “healthcare costs” are the top concerns among the respondents.
