Accelerating growth in the regions

This development not only promises to enhance the property's potential but also marks a meaningful step toward further accelerating the region's overall growth.

Reports said that the MVP-led Landco Pacific Corp., a subsidiary of Metro Pacific Investments Corp., will oversee the interim management of Camp John Hay legacy hotels, facilitating a smooth transition as the property partners with a new private operator.

Landco Pacific, with a strong track record spanning several decades, is renowned for creating world-class leisure communities and luxury residences in the Philippines. Its notable developments include Peninsula de Punta Fuego, CaSoBē (Calatagan South Beach) and Club Laiya.

In a statement, MVP assured the public that they need not worry about the ensuing development in Camp John Hay since legacy properties will remain "protected and enhanced as cornerstones of Baguio history and tourism."

These include The Manor, The Forest Lodge at Camp John Hay and the CAP-John Hay Trade and Cultural Center.

Adding a dash of soy sauce to add deepness to my gravy? Stir-frying veggies in my wok or using my steamer as a healthy way to cook fish or chicken? These all have roots in Chinese cuisine.
