The Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) takes over management of Camp John Hay, promising better facilities and services for the public. The golf course is now open to the public, with improvements and rehabilitation works underway. Landco Pacific Corp. manages the hotels, ensuring uninterrupted service and future upgrades.
The Bases Conversion and Development Authority ( BCDA ) has assured the public that they can enjoy better facilities and services inside the 625-hectare Camp John Hay special economic zone. BCDA , working with interim managers Landco Pacific Corp. for the hotels and the consortium of Golfplus Management Inc. (GMI) and DuckWorld Philippines for the golf course , has put plans in motion to further improve Camp John Hay and make it more accessible to the public.
'We want to emphasize that Camp John Hay is not only back to the government's possession. It is now back to the Filipino people. With this, we want to ensure that all Filipinos can now enjoy the world-class leisure destinations within the camp, and we will do that while maintaining and improving the facilities and services,' BCDA president and CEO Joshua Bingcang said. Under BCDA's management, the golf course is now open to the public, making it accessible to more Filipinos who want to try the sport or simply enjoy the amenities. BCDA and GMI-DuckWorld also assured the quality of the golf course and its facilities will remain in tip-top shape, with improvements and rehabilitation works already underway. 'The objective is to make it the best golf course in the Philippines and keep it accessible to the public,' Bingcang said.GMI president Eduardo Arguelles also committed to maintain and upgrade the golf course. 'That's the objective that we are after — everything should be the best. Not only the golf course, but eventually we will also improve the facilities like the club house, because that's part of the whole experience,' he said. The consortium will also assess the condition of the golf course during the interim period and recommend long-term improvements to the facilities. Among these is the rehabilitation of the irrigation system, which is crucial in the maintenance of the golf course. MVP Group's real estate and hospitality arm Landco Pacific readily extended its hand to the BCDA for the seamless transition of management and uninterrupted provision of services at The John Hay Hotels (formerly The Manor and Forest Lodge). 'Even during a challenging period of transition, the BCDA and Landco Pacific made sure that tourists and hotel visitors were not affected. The hotels remained open, and services did not cease even a single minute,' said Landco Lifestyle Ventures head Patrick Gregorio. Gregorio said this was possible due to the careful planning of the government and private sector, backed by the cooperation and professionalism of the hotel employees who did not want to sacrifice the stay of the tourists. As the interim manager of the hotels, Landco has committed to take care of the employees and introduce improvements to the facilities, making sure that services and hotel amenities remain befitting of a premier hotel
