BIZ BUZZ: MVP confirms John Hay plans

Manuel V. Pangilinan took time off his ultra busy schedule to go up to the City of Pines on Wednesday, not just to take in the cool December air but to also meet with officials of Camp John Hay and Bases Conversion Development Authority.

He met with BCDA chair Larry Paredes, CEO Jake Bingcang, VP Mark Torres and Camp John Hay CEO Marlo Quadra and liked what he saw.

The short visit ended with the MVP Group again signifying its intention “to make substantial investments” in the former American rest and recreation base.

“Camp John Hay embodies the unique charm and character of Baguio. I have very fond memories here,” Pangilinan said.

“In helping BCDA, we commit to the preservation and enhancement of Camp John Hay’s legacy properties, and the care of their dedicated workforce,” he added, confirming an earlier item here that said that he was looking to invest in this popular tourist spot.

Surely, there will be some skeptics but as Pangilinan told the BCDA and John Hay officials, he was committed to enhancing Camp John Hay’s value.

With the MVP Group, “you are in good hands”, Pangilinan said.
