The Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) has confirmed new management for the camp’s hotels and golf club in the interim following the Supreme Court (SC)’s final ruling that permanently removed former developer CJHDevCo from the camp’s premises and properties.
The Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) tapped Landco Pacific, a subsidiary of the MVP Group of Companies led by Manny Pangilinan, to handle The Manor, The Forest Lodge, and the CAP-John Hay Trade and Cultural Center.
Meanwhile, the Camp John Hay Golf Club and its facilities are now under the interim management of Golfplus Management Incorporated (GMI), which manages other golf clubs in the country within Ayala Land Properties.
The turnover of the premises on the camp to the new management took place this week, with the final notice to vacate served on January 6th.
Local law enforcement served several vacate notices issued in 2015 by the Baguio Regional Trial Court (RTC) that were reinstated by the SC in 2024.
The SC’s decision reapplied a 2015 arbitral decision that voided the development contract over John Hay, ordered the return of the developer’s P1.42 billion expenses, and allowed the government to regain control of all commercial properties.
The arbiter’s decision supposedly resolved a longstanding contractual dispute between BCDA and the developer, CJHDevco.
