A Century of Stolen Land: The Tragic History of Camp John Hay

Описание: Camp John Hay is a famous mountain paradise, but beneath its pristine pine trees lies a dark history.

In this mini-documentary, we uncover the shocking truth behind the BCDA’s controversial takeover of this iconic Baguio destination. We trace the camp’s tragic roots—from the legal loopholes used to strip indigenous leaders of their ancestral home in the 1900s, to a modern-day regulatory war that ended with 1.42 billion pesos in unpaid, court-ordered refunds.

What happens when a government agency breaks an ironclad 50-year lease, weaponizes the law against a private developer, and evicts innocent families they legally swore to protect?

Hit play to discover why the recent "victory" at Camp John Hay is actually one of the greatest injustices in Philippine history.
