The city council asked the Department of Education to preserve a contested Camp John Hay school property by placing it under the public education system amid a legal battle with the agency supervising the former American rest and recreation base. /PDI
The 8.9-ha Scout Barrio is the first of 14 John Hay villages to be segregated from the former American base, which was turned over by the American government after it pulled out its military from all its bases in the country in 1991. Some of these villages existed inside the forest reserve before BCDA was given control over Camp John Hay in 1992.
In the council’s Jan. 30 session, Scout Barrio residents asked councilors to intervene and resolve the controversy, which would affect the other Camp John Hay barangays in the future, said Rusela Bacungan, president of the barangay senior citizen association. The Scout Barrio open field, its Camp Concio Grounds, and the lots where the elementary school and barangay hall stand are part of the 15 ha mentioned in Executive Order No. 64, which segregated the barangay, Bacungan said.
