Multiple sub-lessees of CJH Development Corporation (CJHDevCo) have withdrawn their petition for injunction seeking to stop the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) from fully recovering its Camp John Hay property.
The Baguio Regional Trial Court (RTC) denied on Feb. 5 the application of the John Hay foreign locators, asking for a temporary restraining order (TRO) to prevent the return of the 247-hectare Camp John Hay property to the BCDA.
The RTC ruling prompted a group of sub-lessees to withdraw their petitions.
“We understand the plight of those affected as they were deprived of their hard-earned money with false promises of owning homes and having lucrative investments. However, blaming the government, which is simply following the final ruling of the Supreme Court, would be misdirected. We encourage all stakeholders to reach out to us so we can help untangle all confusion and clarify uncertainties regarding their situation, and explore proper remedies under the law. We call on all stakeholders not to be misled by statements repeatedly issued by other parties,” BCDA chairman Hilario Paredes said.
