Improving business climate in John Hay

By Zyrelle del Prado

To further promote good governance and a vibrant business climate, the John Hay Management Corporation (JHMC) on March 30, 2023 organized a meeting for all its locators inside the economic zone. This also provided a venue for all stakeholders to express their concerns on issues related to the corporation's business regulations. With the coordination and teamwork of JHMC Safety and Security Department and Special Economic Zone Administration Department, various safety and security measures to maintain peace and order inside

Camp John Hay were re-established. Recommendations, views, and opinions were noted by all parties. Previous issues and concerns were cleared and addressed.

The number of locators ranging from retail to food and beverage, accommodations, and wellness have grown inside the John Hay Economic Zone. These business establishments not only generate income, but also provide employment opportunities to the residents of Baguio City, including its nearby municipalities—La Trinidad, Itogon, Sablan, Tuba, and Tublay. In 2022, these areas generated 95% of the workforce within Camp John Hay.
