Living among the pine trees of Baguio

Most real estate salesmen sell property. Camp John Hay’s Shean Bedi sells an entire lifestyle. As SVP for marketing, sales, and public relations for the premier mountain resort, he is a perfect example of "walking the walk" and "talking the talk." Based on enthusiasm alone, Bedi is Camp John Hay’s number one salesman. You can see the sparkle in his eyes when he talks about the place. "Here at Camp John Hay, what we really sell is ‘a better quality of life’," Bedi says. "You’re buying life without stress and distractions, bonding with your family, unpolluted air – these are things that you cannot buy; these are priceless." Under the guidance of CJH chairman Robert John Sobrepeña and with the assistance of marketing, sales and public relations Manager Vladimir Cordero and the rest of his team, Bedi aims to make the camp the premier tourist destinations for Filipinos.

Currently, Bedi is opening up the Camp for everyone by establishing picnic sites and encouraging the use of the Camp’s free facilities such as the Eco-Trail. "Camp John Hay is not just for the elite – we want everybody to experience and enjoy it." Bedi looks to the future with optimism and cheerfulness. "This is the best retirement place for Filipinos who live abroad, because it has the same atmosphere as the US or Canada."
