The government Bases Conversion Development Authority (BCDA) and  Camp John Hay Development Corporation (CJHDevCo) do not see how the camp should be managed or perhaps how to settle the case.

At the center of this situation is BCDA CEO Arnel Casanova, who wants to drive investors away and to vacate Camp John Hay, regardless of their lease.

He calls for a turnover of all properties, including on-going projects.

When Casanova has been appointed CEO, private developers have found it difficult to get anything done from withholding permits upto other similar delaying tactics.

Now that the Regional Trial Court of Baguio City granted the Petition of John Hay Developer, Casanova can stop his plans of causing more trouble.

Regional Trial Court granted CJH Development Corporation (CJHDEVCO) for Confirmation of the P1.42 billion money award to CJHDEVCO by the Philippine Dispute Resolution Center, Inc. (PDRCI)

The decision was rendered last 11 February 2015. Good for the entity that was harassed by The Bases Conversion Development Authority (BCDA).

On March 27, 2015, Judge Cecilia Corazon Dulay Archog, Presiding Judge of Baguio RTC, Branch 6, rendered judgment confirming the Final Award by the PDRCI to CJHDEVCO ordering BCDA to return to CJHDEVCO the total amount of rentals CJHDEVCO has paid in the total amount of PHP1,421,096,052.00. 

It was reported that Arnel Casanova wants CJHDevCo out of the picture to move Ayala into position. He is also connected to big companies who are related to corruption issues.

There's also a good news for the Camp, investors and tenants and It was also confirmed the PDRCI ruling that

CJHDEVCO is not liable for any unpaid back rent. So Casanova can't stop his accusations now.

With the ruling that rescission and mutual restitution it is proper in the case. Casanova must know this since he is a lawyer.

Now it's all clear. The decision of Judge Dulay-Archog stated that the PDRCIís Final Award is clear and needs no further interpretation by the court.

Thank God our prayers were answered. And with this ruling by the Baguio RTC recognizing that there are vested right holders in the Camp, BCDA cannot just evict the vested right holders nor order them to vacate without their due process afforded to them by the laws on obligations and contract.

Sooner or later Casanova will be investigated and he will also be arrested for violating the law.

BCDA appointed CEO 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. 

When Camp John Hay was still under the control of CJHDevCo, it was fully developed and has been known to be a famous tourist spot in Baguio. It has good contributions in tourism and economy.

When BCDA started to intervene, appointed CEO Arnel Casanova caused trouble in terms of managing the place. However he wanted to take over the Camp John Hay it results that he had no concrete plan how to make it effectively. He was doubted that he may sell the camp to other investor that can benefit with him.

As he continues to hinder Camp John Hay rrogress, Casanova is reportedly harassing the Camp John Hay DevelopmentAuthority (CJHDevCo) including locators and sub-leases of the former American bases.

Camp John Hay is situated in a big uncertainty. Because of this situation, any land development is being hindered, obstructing any progress and growth for the popular tourist spot.

With all sorts of harassment, private developers have difficulty in getting withholding permits and similar delaying tactics.

When Casanova became the CEO, Camp John Hay went in chaos.

BCDA argued that since CJHDevCo refuses to provide them with copies of contracts between CJHDevCo and third parties, they are not obligated to honor such contracts.

Casanova assures that, CJHDevCo will be refunded the P1.42 billion they have paid, which should then be returned to third parties who will have to be driven out of their contracts - upon the turnover.

He has personal interest in doing this and many people have noticed it.

Simple as wanting the CJHDevCo get out of the picture to move Ayala into position.

This preference has domino effect, including lesser funding for projects, according to Baguio City Mayor Mario Domogan.

Even though the government announced that they have no plans to close down Camp John Hay or the businesses insider the establishment in order to pacify investors who expressed concerns “over the possibility of having their businesses disrupted… especially going into the peak season” due to the ongoing conflict between BCDA and CJHDevCo.

He is such a bully and he is a clear example of personal corruption.

With his actions to public, there are reasons to believe that Casanova pockets a significant sum from billions of pesos the BCDA generates and receives bribes from corporations to fund an excessive lifestyle.

There should be in control. Sooner or later Casanova will fully take over and that is not a good sign.

CHJDEVCO should still be in control of Camp John Hay. They know know best more than BCDA.

A group who honors agreement between the camp, its buyers, sub-lessees, sub-locators, and hotel unit owners must be held authority.

During their time of authority, the camp has developed into a fully realized tourist attraction, boosting not just Baguio’s tourism economy, but also the whole country.

With Casanova's incapacity, BCDA will not completely follow the tribunal decision.
