BCDA slams developer’s bid to delay eviction

PRIVATE developer Camp John Hay Development Corp. (CJHDevCo) is using its subsidiaries and affiliates to act as innocent sublessees to delay its eviction from the 247-hectare former American recreational facility in Baguio City, the state-owned Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) said.

The Court of Appeals’ Special Fifth Division on Thursday heard the motion for intervention of Camp John Hay Golf Club and the CAP John Hay Trade and Cultural Center on the petition filed by CJHDevCo, which sought to prevent the BCDA from executing the arbitration panel’s decision to evict third-party sub lessees in John Hay.
