The Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) signed agreements with several sub-lessees of CJH Development Corporation (CJHDevCo) for fresh lease terms in Forest Estates, Country Homes, Golf Estates, and Forest Cabins in Camp John Hay in Baguio City, a move to find common ground benefitting all parties.

Following the Supreme Court’s final ruling allowing BCDA to recover the Camp John Hay property, the BCDA had signed over 40 new residential agreements with sub-lessees of CJHDevCo.

BCDA has also been in talks with other stakeholders to come up with fresh term sheets for their residential leases in Camp John Hay.

BCDA president and chief executive officer Joshua Bingcang said the BCDA is preparing term sheets for the other residential lessees, majority are expected to be finalized and signed soon.

“We want to assure all stakeholders that BCDA is here to help facilitate this transition of management in Camp John Hay. As we move forward, our focus now for Camp John Hay is to create a future that benefits everyone," Bingcang said.

"With the support of our private partners and the Baguio City Government, we are working to improve facilities and services, protect the natural environment of the area, create employment opportunities, and ultimately, empower the local community," he added.

BCDA is set to conduct a review of Camp John Hay’s over 25-year comprehensive master plan to align it with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.

It aims to replicate the Bonifacio Global City in Taguig and New Clark City in Tarlac by implementing infrastructure projects and bringing high-impact investments.
