The Bases Conversion and
Development Authority (BCDA) on Friday alleged CJH Development Corporation
(CJHDevCo) misled the Court of Appeals to issue a temporary restraining order
against a writ of execution ordering the CJHDevCo and its sublessees to vacate
Camp John Hay.
"CJHDevCo blatantly misled
the Court of Appeals of various lies that formed the very foundation for the
issuance of TRO," BCDA President and CEO Arnel Paciano Casanova said.
The CA was led to believe there
was going to be violence at the end of the 30-day notice to vacate the former
US military facility for rest and recreation.
"I'm very sure that the
Sheriff of Baguio, who is implementing the writ of execution and the notice to
vacate, and assisted by the Philippine National Police (PNP), will not start
any violence.
"So does that mean that the
Sobrepeña-led CJHDevCo has threatened to provoke violence against the Baguio
Sheriff?" Casanova noted.
Prior to the CA order, the Office
of the Ex-Officio Sheriff of the First Judicial Region ordered CJHDevCo and
"all persons claiming rights under them" to vacate the premises of
Camp John Hay on April 20.
CJHDevCo has no authority to
operate in Camp John Hay because a contract no longer exists between BCDA and
CJHDevCo, according to the state-run BCDA, saying the John Hay Management
Corporation (JHMC) also has not issued a permit for CJHDevCo.
"By misleading the CA to
issue a TRO, CJHDevCo has shown its defiance and contempt towards the rule of
law," Casanova noted.
He said CJHDevCo also mislead the
CA by saying that the P1.42 billion refund the developer should pay to its
sublessees consist of advanced rental payments. The BCDA has urged the
sublessees to claim their respective shares from BCDA.
"The only way for the
CJHDevCo's victims to recover their investments and protect their interests is
to lay claim to the P1.42-B that the BCDA deposited in the court,"
Casanova said. – Trisha Macas/VS, GMA News
