BCDA Wants The Public To Believe That They Are Partner of CJHDevco in Developing Baguio According To Its Published Open Letter #HelpfulHowTo

The story continues for Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) against Camp John Hay Development Corporation (CJHDevCo) that Arnel Casanova posted an open letter that could otherwise change his image to all Filipinos, the City Government of Baguio, the Mayor and the residents of Baguio City as a whole. Is this another strategy of BCDA President to conquer the minds of the people involved? And, to clean his image and actions as positive, helping all the residents of Baguio and its neighboring areas?

The open letter consists of the things that he was supposed to say personally to Mayor Mauricio Domogan, but he opted to at the BCDA website because, he knew that Mayor Domogan won’t give-in to his never ending negative actions against CJHDevCo, who only wanted that the MOA be followed and continue to manage Camp John Hay.

Remember that anything when settled amicably will give positive results and development ensues. Why BCDA not following the agreement that has been executed between CJHDevCo and discrediting it publicly? Is there another company involve?



Let’s take a look of what transpired before:

CJHDevCo operations were adversely affected of the delay, resulting in losses of P1.445 billion, which was increasing daily and has accumulated lease payment arrears to the BCDA in the staggering amount which belongs to the people of Baguio and the surrounding municipalities. As such, the agreement was first restructured in 2000.

CJHDevCo was supposed to pay an annual rent of P425 million or 5% of gross revenues for the first 5 years of the lease, whichever was higher. This meant that for 1998, 1999, and 2000, the government was supposed to receive P1.275 billion in rental payments.
The estafa charges filed against Sobrepeña was the damages worth P1.15 billion from owing BCDA , believing that CJHDevCo was capable of paying its annual rent which misleads the government under the terms of the 1996 lease agreement.

Robert Sobrepeña arrest proved BCDA purpose in gaining the momentum while the court decision in Singapore still in progress. President and CEO Arnel Paciano Casanova said, “We laud the DOJ in this breakthrough decision to make fraudulent businesses accountable to the people and to protect the interest of the public from fraudulent schemes. The DOJ’s ruling puts CJHDevCo’s former Memoranda of Agreement (MOA) with BCDA as well as all other agreements that CJHDevCo has entered into with its locators, buyers, and business partners in question.

CJHDevCo willingness to fulfill its financial obligation to BCDA provided the government must abide by the contract they both executed. But subsequent moves by BCDA, suggest no end in sight in the near future.

So, this open letter’s another move by BCDA to prolong the case while they’re planning their next moves? Or to clean its image when election time comes 2016?

REPLY TO THE PUBLISHED OPEN LETTER OF BCDA PRESIDENT & CEO ARNEL PACIANO D. CASANOVA: REPLY TO THE PUBLISHED OPEN LETTER OF BCDA PRESIDENT & CEO ARNEL PACIANO D. CASANOVA

To be fair I posted the 2 published open letters for your reference as to why this case still continues.

The delay caused CJHDevCo to deteriorate with the revenues while the government of Baguio and its residents suffer for not granting CJHDevCo projects to be completed. These projects when completed could give more jobs and revenues to the City of Baguio. Also, CJHDevCo could resume their revenue-generated management of Camp John Hay.

Developments and progress in Camp John Hay in Baguio City are not realized because of BCDA but still, Arnel Casanova wrote an open letter seeming to describe them as so. BCDA wants the public to believe that they are partner of CJHDevco in developing Baguio when in fact it's more like just making life difficult for CJHDevCo.

  1. BCDA through Casanova's open letter is just asking for public sympathy. Paawa effect in street words.

  2. I think the fact that they had to do an open letter is problematic for me. Why do an open letter and involve the public. Why can't this be settled privately? Are they asking for sympathy? Did Arnel Casanova ask for an appointment to settle this privately but he was refused so he had to do an open letter?

  3. Cassanova's open letter stirs more questions on the ulterior motive of the BCDA. The letter seemed to be a way of washing off their dirty hands.
