THE Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) said it recovered a Forest Lodge unit within Camp John Hay after a favorable ruling from the Court of Appeals (CA).
In a statement Monday, the BCDA said that the recent CA ruling affirms its “rightful claim and mandate over Camp John Hay.”
“This marks a critical step forward in BCDA’s efforts to transform the area into a vibrant public asset for the benefit of Baguio and its neighboring communities,” it added.
According to the BCDA, the court ruled against claimants Casiano et al., injecting an element of
“legal clarity” which “further strengthens BCDA’s position as it advances long-term development plans aimed at unlocking new opportunities for ecotourism, business, and inclusive growth in the region.” — Sheldeen Joy Talavera
