From the Philippine News Agency (Sep 14): Mayor Domogan looking forward to working with new BCDA leadership

Baguio City Mayor Mauricio Domogan is looking forward to a healthy working relationship with newly-appointed president and chief executive officer (CEO) of the Bases Conversion and Development Authority, (BCDA) Vivencio Dizon, who took over from Arnel Casanova.

Domogan on Wednesday, September 14 said he was able to talk to Dizon and requested for an amendment of the agreement between the city and BCDA.

The mayor said the share of the local government unit (LGU) from the rental of the Camp John Hay Development Corporation (CJHDevCo) should be paid directly to the LGU.

Domogan explained that Baguio City ended up to be the loser in the court battle between the former leaders of BCDA and the developer where the Supreme Court favored the developer and ordered the BCDA to pay the developer PhP1.42 billion, the same amount CJHDevCo paid as rental.

With the new leadership in the BCDA, Domogan said CJHDevCo is willing to proceed with the development at Camp John Hay.

Development at the former US military camp was stalled at less than 25 percent.

Domogan said Resolution 362 or the 19 Conditionalities is part and parcel of the development of Camp John Hay which is being honored by the BCDA.
