HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
Quezon City 
NINETEENTH CONGRESS 
Second Regular Session 
HOUSE BILL NO. _________ 
Introduced by Hon. Mark O. Go 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
When the Americans left the US Bases in the Philippines in 1992, there was a need to 
convert the military installations into productive civilian use; hence, Republic Act No. 7227 
entitled “Bases Conversion and Development Act of 1992” was passed by Congress and 
approved by the president on March 13, 1992.  Among others, the law created the Bases 
Conversion Development Authority (BCDA) and transferred to it the military bases including the 
John Hay Air Station in Baguio City.  
Proclamation No. 198, dated 29 June 1993 transferred the ownership, administration, and 
control over the John Hay Air Station covering an area of 570 hectares, more or less, to BCDA, 
and declared the same for tourism, human resource development center, and multiple use forest 
watershed reservation purposes. 
On July 5, 1994, President Fidel Ramos issued Proclamation No. 420 designating certain 
portions of Camp John Hay as Special Economic Zone, the proclamation provided that the 
“Bases Conversion and Development Authority is hereby established as the governing body of 
the John Hay Special Economic Zone and, as such, authorized to determine the utilization and 
disposition of the lands comprising it, subject to private rights, if any, and in consultation and 
coordination with the City Government of Baguio after consultation with its inhabitants…” 
Being the local government affected by the law and the proclamation, Baguio City 
through its Sanguniang Panglungsod passed Resolution No. 362 during its regular session on 
September 7, 1994.  The Resolution was entitled “Setting the conditionalities in the formulation 
by the Bases Conversion Development Authority (BCDA) of the master development plan for 
Club John Hay.” It outlined 19 conditionalities for BCDA to consider in the planned 
development of a world class facility, including a demand for the Authority to segregate the 
barangays overlapped by the turned-over area. 
Several administrations and officers later, the said conditionality remained unfulfilled.  A 
partial segregation was completed by the BCDA in that certain portions of Scout Barrio

Barangay were released to current and qualified occupants.  To be able to issue titles to the 
beneficiaries however, the portions of the former military reservation had to be declared 
alienable and disposable. As a response, on December 18, 2001, then President Gloria 
Macapagal Arroyo issued Executive Order No. 64 declaring the portion of the BCDA property in 
Scout Barrio as housing site and releasing it from the reservation for disposition to qualified 
applicants. 
Today, 12 Barangays remain to be segregated. This is causing tension between the 
residents who are actual occupants of land within the Camp John Hay reservation and the local 
government on the one hand, and the BCDA on the other.  To finally put this impasse to rest and 
to give life to the intention of the representatives of the city for the segregation of the barangays 
included in the John Hay reservation, the approval of this bill is earnestly sought.
