The Bases Conservation and Development Authority(BCDA) is still making trouble in the Camp John Hay. Even the arbitration court
had already made a win-win solution about their case against the Camp John Hay
Development Authority. To settle the problem, the Philippine Dispute Resolution
Center, Inc. (PDRCI) decided that the camp should turn over to the government.
But the BCDA should pay the developer an amount of 1.4 billion as a damage fee.
The court also rejected the claimed of the agency that the developer had owed
them about more than 3 million pesos because of breached of contract. The
agency failed to build a one stop shop to speed up the development process
inside the camp.
Now,
the BCDA President Arnel Casanova is threatening the locators and the sub-leases
in the Camp John Hay. Casanova reminded to the third party that they should not
be relaxed. For him, it is not true that they are exempted to the ordered of
the court. He pointed out that the government had no contract with them. It
means that once the CJHDevCo will leave the camp, the locators and sub-leases
should also leave. It sounds right, but the third party is not involved with
their conflict. So, the BCDA should respect their right even Casanova like it
or not. But the problem, Casanova is still insisting his position because he
wanted to monopolize the business inside the camp. He also said that if the
locators and the sub-leases wants to recover their loses; they should extract
from the 1.4 billion that they set to pay to the developer. Is this a joke or
an other bullying tactic to irritate their opponent.
There
is also a report that Casanova is asking the sub-leases and locators to give
him a copy of their contracts or documents with the CJHDevCo. If they would not
comply with his request, they will be kicked out in the camp. Casanova is
really expert in terms of threatening and harassing to get what he want. He is
using his power to aggravate those group who doesn’t agree with his management
style. How true that he is using his position to get some kickbacks from other
companies? Maybe this is the reason why he is pushing the interest of the companies
who gave him a favor. The question is who will replace CJHDevCo after they
leave the camp?
Is
it true that the BCDA president is a member of third sex? There is a rumor
saying that he is dating with handsome males. I don’t care about the sexual preference of Casanova, the only issue
is if he is using the money from the agency to satisfy himself. As a public official he is accountable to that
money that generates by his agency. Casanova’s leadership is really
questionable because amidst the truth that the BCDA is earning a decent amount
of money from the assets they are handling, the agency doesn’t give any contribution for the
modernization program of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP). Based on
the law, they must allocate the 50% of their earning to the AFP; but Casanova
doesn’t follow it.
The
public should know where Casanova uses the funds under his office. He should
also undergo in an investigation what his motive behind the take over of Camp
John Hay. For he is destroying the public-private partnership (PPI) that built
by the national government to convince the private companies to invest in
government properties. By doing this, he is putting in danger the livelihood of
many people who already getting benefits from the projects of the investors.
