MANILA, Philippines - A perjury complaint was filed last week by the developer of Camp John Hay in Baguio City against the president and chief executive officer of the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) before the Office of the Manila prosecutor’s office.
Accompanied by former solicitor general Frank Chavez, Manuel Ubarra Jr., vice president for litigation of the Camp John Hay Development Corp. (CJHDevCo), filed a perjury complaint against BCDA president Arnel Paciano Casanova.
Chavez is representing Ubarra in the complaint.
In his 10-page complaint affidavit, Ubarra alleged that Casanova wrongly accused CJHDevCo officials of using false pretenses to deceive and induce the agency to enter into a “dacion en pago” agreement on May 27, 2011, in order to settle its outstanding obligation with the BCDA.
