Baguio asserts right to lease share in CJH

BAGUIO CITY: Amid the legal battle between government-owned Bases Conversion and Development Corp. (BCDA) and Sobrepeña group's Camp John Hay Development Corp. (CJHDevCo), the city government remains hopeful it will soon receive its 25-percent share from the annual lease rental of the former United States rest and recreation facility.

Baguio Vice Mayor Faustino Olowan expressed optimism in a recent phone interview that the city's share will be released to the local government, regardless of the outcome of the final legal battle.
