BCDA hinders
Camp John Hay progress. As in seriously!
The
appointed CEO Arnel Casanova is still harassing the Camp John Hay (CJHDevCo) its
locators and sub-leases.
Camp John
Hay is in trouble. Casanova is very aggressive
to take over the Camp John Hay although he is still not complying to the order
of the PDRCI.
The
difference is the developer has sincerity,
but Casanova? he doesn’t know how to respect the rights of others. Because of
this situation, any land development is being hindered, obstructing any
progress and growth for the popular tourist spot.
Arnel
Casanova is calling for a turnover of all properties, including on-going
projects and he wants to drive investors away and to vacate Camp John Hay,
regardless of their lease.
Casanova is
very aggressive doing all kinds of harassment. It was also reported before that
he is fun of doing misleading press statements.
On a
suspicion and later on was proven, when Casanova became the CEO, private
developers have found it increasingly difficult to get anything done by withholding
permits and other similar delaying tactics.
If we remember, he stated that CJHDevCo don’t have
obligation to the locators and sub-leases because they are paying their rental
to the developer and not to the government.
Camp John
Hay should remain in the control of CJHDevCo. They honor their agreement
between the camp, its buyers, sub-lessees, sub-locators, and hotel unit owners.
When the
camp was in their control it was developed into a fully realized tourist
attraction, boosting not just Baguio’s tourism economy, but also the whole
country.
There’s a tribunal decision but BCDA won’t
religiously commit to it.
Rather than helping the tourism business in Baguio City,
Casanova is subverting it through his awful administration.
Casanova has
a motivation behind why he is doing this exchange. Rumor has it that BCDA had
effectively earned billion pesos with their exchanges.
Casanova should be held in a
congressional inquiry.
