In a ruling on Jan. 3, the RTC Branch 6 directed its sheriffs to immediately serve a writ of execution and notice to vacate to developer CJH Dev. Corp., so the property it is renting could be returned to the state-run Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA).

"This court order means all land and improvements in the property, whether directly held by CJH DevCo, its subsidiaries and/or affiliates or occupied/held by other individuals or parties claiming rights under them, must be turned over to the BCDA immediately," said BCDA president and chief executive officer Joshua Bingcang.

The office of the Baguio City Sheriff served the notice to vacate to CJH Development Corp. (CJH DevCo) yesterday, which led to the turnover of the legacy hotels to Landco Pacific.
