CJHDevCo and Third Parties Are Contented for CA Decision #OnlineBizniz

The Court of Appeals (CA) decision confirms third party homeowners are buyers in good faith and not a party to the arbitration. CJHDevCo has to be paid by BCDA before they vacate, otherwise it is status quo. This is what other concerned people are expecting inside the Camp John Hay. They are really fated to experience the rigors of legal implications before this CA decision.

CJHDevCo expressed satisfaction in its interpretation that residential sub-lessors aren’t covered by the arbitration and can, presumably, stay without a separate arbitration or civil case, and that CJHDevCo cannot be made to leave before it is paid by BCDA.

The turn of events for this longest running legal case preceded more agonizing moments for the leaders than anything else happened beforehand. We could think differently about the ways in which Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) and Camp John Hay Development Corporation (CJHDevCo) molded their stands ever since. Like the character of the BCDA President Arnel Casanova who made things hard for the businessmen inside the camp. Bob Sobrepena too, got the real first hand legal battle that continued until now.

The CA decision is just nominal solutions for some but it gave greater scope for CJHDevCo and third parties. The BCDA “Deed of Assignment” was a coercive action for some businessmen and only gave bad image for Arnel Casanova. His actions are not aligned for his ambitious-personal gain altogether.

The CA directed BCDA - to respect and not to disturb the various contracts of the third parties occupying the leased premises because they acquired in good faith. They are not part of CJHDevCo’s legal implications with BCDA. The Aquino Administration must mediate for this case immediately to win back investors and tourists inside the Camp Hohn Hay.

The revenue of Baguio City is needed by the city council and residents. Likewise, Mayor Domogan cited and pushed the 19 conditions from BCDA as the first move to eliminate the war between the two sides. It lowered the fire for the meantime, but people should be aware about the wrath of the BCDA President. He has the power over some contracts and authority to choose for the betterment of the camp.

Moreover, this case turned out to be interesting for some business people, and very degrading for others. But the fact remains that this is under the PPP program of President Aquino. He knew what in-store for this tourist’s place and can do positive recommendation coming from his Administration. This place is huge in nature and really need leaders to uplift the development of Camp John Hay and the scope in developing the activities that can enhance the image locally and worldwide.

The Twists And Turns Of BCDA President #OnlineBizniz

It’s a fact that BCDA President Arnel Casanova had dome so much damaged for Camp John Hay and the people of Baguio City? Until to this date, he had molded his intention to evict CJHDevCo, third parties, lessees and businessmen inside the camp.

CJHDevCo’s waiting for the payment of the BCDA that the tribunal court decision had decided for in favor for Bob Sobrepena Group. But what happened was armed men were used to intimidate the whole process. BCDA must pay the 1.42B pesos first and CJHDevCo will leave the camp.

BCDA President Arnel Casanova’s management-style has a hint of cowardice and coerciveness unto the third parties of businessmen, who respected the contracts under CJHDevCo. Likewise, he should stop evicting the third party investors for they are the heart and soul of Camp John Hay.

The Aquino Administration created the PPP for the good of the investors and the business arena in the Philippines. But Arnel Casanova mishandled this program because of his hidden agenda and personal vendetta for CJHDevCo. What he can do is to make this program workable for private and public businesses.

The result is nothing but negative aspects of BCDA. The Aquino Administration must kick this man and find a better person to manage the BCDA. There’s lots of qualified Filipino who can run this BCDA with proper forum and considerate for the businessmen and their endeavors.

The Baguio City Mayor will continue to pursue the BCDA with the 19 conditions set by them; the only chance for the mayor to lead the crusade against BCDA. Likewise, the people of Baguio City are behind for this agreement.

It’s therefore that BCDA had managed to give extra twist for every legal aspect that they have faced into. The ways that BCDA had acted into its legal contracts were nothing but a mere circus in nature. Why he cannot properly manage the camp without much fuzz and problems? Paying the 1.42B pesos to CJHDevCo will eventually cease the knitty-gritty that are shadowing him with his endeavor.

The BCDA and Its President #OnlineBizniz

What really happened to the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) and Camp John Hay Development Corporation (CJHDevCo) at this moment in time? The BCDA’s moving forward or just twisting the truth for the good of all concerned or few individuals only?

By the way, the BCDA President Arnel Casanova has every resources and antics to elude the case against CJHDevCo? The recent Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) of sixty (60) days received by CJHDevCo gave them much time to stay at the camp and wait for BCDA to fulfill its legal obligation in payment of 1.42B pesos.

Let’s wait and see if BCDA will pay this huge amount to CJHDevCo.

Why the BCDA President's corrupt government officer:

Mr. Arnel Casanova’s poverty did not hinder his ambition to finish his studies. He got an excellent academic background served him in good stead. Having earned degrees in Law and Public Administration, as well as post-graduate studies in English and Urban Planning, Casanova effectively proved he was worthy of the tasks assigned to him in various capacities. Included in his curriculum vitae was his Master’s degree in Public Administration obtained from Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government as a World Bank scholar.

He proved his worth when taking the government job at BCDA in which the Aquino Administration trusted his ability and skills. But favouring contracts got him involved in corruption; accepting bribery from large corporation like Ayala Corporation that has an interest in Camp John Hay.

The endeavour of CJHDevCo inside the Camp John Hay was tainted because of Ayala Corporation. Until at this moment, he wanted the Sobrepena group and its lessees to vacate the camp. Corruption was showing on his action. Likewise, the 50% of the BCDA funds for AFP modernization was not explained well by him.

His humble beginnings and ambition are totally ruined by this bribery through favouring contracts and BCDA didn’t give the share of Baguio local government from the earnings they collected for rental payment in Camp John Hay. Likewise, his excellent academic background changed when he favoured corruption at BCDA.

Right now, the BCDA’s planning for its expansion in Clark Green City, north of the capital, will be bigger at 288 hectares (1.11 square miles), twice the size of London's Hyde Park, to make it more attractive to investors. Bidding will begin soon. But, another facet of the BCDA, that corruption in accepting selected contracts is rampant. Likewise, maybe, this is like what happened to CJHDevCo in the future.

Mr Arnel Casanova has different personality in dealing with businessmen. He has the eye of a tiger and claws of the eagle when it comes to contracts. But, these traits are making him the bad element in twisting the truth. Moreover, he pinned-down an opponent with his propaganda and nothing will ever be suspended.
