If you think that the trouble in Camp John Hay is really
over. Well, you’re wrong because the dispute between the Bases ConservationDevelopment Authority (BCDA) and Camp John Hay Development Corp. (CJHDevCo) is
still continuing. This is despite the fact that the Philippine Dispute
Resolution Center, Inc. (PDRCI) was already issued their decision to settle
their problem in Camp John Hay. The court granted the request of BCDA to
reclaim the camp; provided, they should pay first 1.4 billion pesos to the CJHDevCo
before they leave the place. But in the other side, the court rejected the
claimed of the agency that the developer owed them an amount of 3.3 billion
pesos back rental.
Casanova
is not contented although he will get what he wants. Well, it is very obvious
that he is not totally happy with the court’s decision because he has an
instant huge debt. It is okay, Sir, that’s the prize of your wrong actions. So,
you should pay it! Please, don’t involve the third party from your dispute with
the developer. You’re an attorney by profession and you knew what’s written in
our law, don’t twist. Our constitution is protecting the rights of the third
party. Under mutual restitution, the government will honor the private
individuals if they acquired properties in good faith. It is possible that
Casanova wants the third party to file a case against the developer if ever
they evict them also. He is using them as a pawn to harass the CJHDevCo. Of
course, the third party that is just a part of dirty tactic of Casanova to
control them all.
It
seems that Casanova has no plan to follow the order of PDRCI because there he
never says any due date when they will pay their debt. If he is really willing
to pay the developer, it is very easy for them to do that. For sure, their
agency has a lot of funds, but Casanova doesn’t want to release it because he
knew that the BCDA will be bankrupted. If that would happen, he should only be
blamed for that. But in the other hand; this is very good. It will pave the way for the closure of BCDA
since they are just disrupting the progress or development in Baguio City.
If I
were P-Noy I will kick out Casanova for being an ineffective leader. This country
doesn’t need like him who doesn’t care about the real situation of the people. If
he has genuine concern for the people, he will not reclaim the Camp John Hay.
In the first place, he doesn’t have a concrete plan after he get it from the
developer. What’s his plan to the employees inside the camp? Then, the shares
of the local government of Baguio City will be gone in an instant. P-Noy should
also realize that Casanova is not respecting the Public-Private Partnership
Program of the government. The aim of PPP is get more investors to support the
government’s projects. But because of Casanova’s disputes with the investors,
it is possible that they can’t get the trust of the investors. They will afraid
to encounter a government official like Casanova who is one of a kind in terms
of harassing people!
