Amaia Skies Avenida

Steadfastly committed to providing affordable quality homes in the Amaia Land tradition, the property developer recently welcomed excited new homeowners to their brand-new units in Amaia Skies Avenida in downtown Manila.

The turnover of units in Amaia Skies Avenida started last April 8, 2017 and is expected to be fully accomplished within the next two to three months.

“A large segment of our customers are hardworking Filipinos who aspire to make their hard-earned money work for them,” said Nikie Lingad, Head of Project Development. “With this specific market driving our operations, we commit the organization’s resources and fine work practices to ensure that our homes are built and delivered to their owners while maintaining high standards of quality,” she stated.

True to this vision, Amaia turned over at least 2,000 homes in various parts of the country before 2016 ended, and was set to deliver more units to its aspiring homeowners in 2017.

Located in the center of Manila’s Sta. Cruz district, Amaia Skies Avenida provides access to public transport hubs that include the Dorotheo Jose Station of LRT2 and the Recto Station of LRT1. It is also close to shopping malls and retail establishments, recreational parks, hospitals, places of worship, and schools like Far Eastern University, University of the East, and San Beda College.

Amaia Skies Avenida’s residents enjoy a wholesome and healthy lifestyle through its various amenities like a swimming pool, a function room, a play area, and landscaped gardens.

Furthermore, Amaia Land brings the dream of owning a home closer to ordinary Filipinos by offering pocket-friendly payment options: cash, deferred cash, and bank financing.

Amaia Skies Avenida now has ready-for-occupancy (RFO) units available to prospective homeowners. 

Buyers can move in within 60 days after reservation through InstaMove.

Breathe of Fresh Air

CJHDevCo. Temporarily Gets a Breathe of Fresh Air as Court of Appeals Delayed the Group’s Departure from Camp John Hay.

The Sobrepena group could have long been gone away from the premises of the former U.S. military base, Camp John Hay if it were not for the order of the Court of Appeals to delay the group’s exit. 

However, the court of appeals also ordered them to turn over the sub-lease contracts to Arnel Casanova’s Bases Conversion Development Authority (BCDA). BCDA is slowly but surely hideously conquering the disputed campsite once again.

Not until after the P1.4billion has been paid to Sobrepena’s CJHDevCo., they are still privileged to stay inside Camp John Hay, at least that’s what the arbitration paneil in February came into a conclusion with. 

This also helped the sub-lessors to hinder the planned eviction and stay inside the camp for the time being.

The arbitration reached verdict stating that both the Camp John Hay Development Corporation (CJHDevCo.) and the BCDA each committed a couple of blunders. 

BCDA was ordered by the court to lend CJHDevCo. a hand in processing the P1.4billion clam, a task which BCDA is quite uncomfortable to stomach. 

Instead, they put all the rents that CJHDevCo. have paid into a special bank account without showing any signs of retrieving the money and then hand it over to CJHDevCo. On the part of CJHDevCo., the arbitration believed that CJHDevCo.’s inability to settle their obligations is pretty much erroneous and may be consider as a concrete evidence against them.  

CJHDevCo. however, quickly rebut and claimed that the reason why they were unable to settle their obligations was the government’s failure to deliver the land that they have initially agreed upon.

CJHDevCo. seemed to be extremely gratified to know that residential sub-lessors aren’t involved in the arbitration case thus giving them the rights to stay inside the camp. Another bright spot that CJHDevCo. sew was the fact that they cannot be forced b Arnel Casanova and BCDA to leave Camp John Hay before it receives the payment that it is supposed to get.

In an interview with CJHDevCo Executive Vice-President Alfredo Yniguez, he said: "The CA decision confirms third party homeowners are buyers in good faith and not a party to the arbitration (and) CJHDevCohas to be paid before they vacate. Otherwise, it's status quo,"


While Arnel Casanova used to show up in high spirits whenever there’s any development with the year long dispute which favors them over their counterparts, this time, Casanova appears to be hostile in accepting the Court of Appeal’s verdict and seems to be reluctant in gracefully accepting this temporary defeat of his.

On Justice and Good Faith

The dates below show the timeline about the case between BCDA vs CJHDevCo.

On June 2014Pasay City Regional Trial Court has cleared Camp John Hay Development Corporation Chair and CEO Robert Sobrepeña of estafa case. It was recorded by the Department of Justice (DOJ).

On December 19, 2014, a 7-page request which the Department of Justice got, Pedro Gutierrez, Pasay RTC Branch 119 Judge, denied the advancement to reconsider the completion of the case as recorded by the association prosecutors in light of a true blue sympathy toward Bases Conversion Development Authority that sued Sobrepeña by neglect to satisfy an insurance on the lease understanding he stamped.


And on February 11 2015, the arbitral tribunal issued its Award in the arbitration between CJH Development Corporation (“CJHDevCo”) and the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (“BCDA”).

Baguio is a very attractive place, it's beautiful. Now what do you think will be the outcome once the decision has been granted to case.

Whatever it is, it must be accepted with all their good faith for the benefit of the public.

In the Award, BCDA was requested to come back to CJHDevCo roughly Php1.42 Billion in rentals that it had paid to the BCDA. 

And CJHDevCo was coordinated to abandon the Leased Property and turn it over to the BCDA, with all upgrades that CJHDevCO had presented in that amid the term of the lease. 

In the meantime, neither party can implement the Award, without an order confirming the same and a writ of execution being issued by the court. The writ of preliminary injunction enjoining the BCDA from taking over Camp John Hay remains in full force and effect unless the court orders.

The BCDA is additionally completely mindful that the different properties inside the camp were sub-let to different outsiders in accordance with some basic honesty. 

The BCDA is, actually, in ownership of the different contracts covering these properties and has never raised any protest to them.


With the issuance of this Award, both parties must act in good faith and with due regard for the rights and interests of innocent third parties who are not involved in the dispute between CJHDevCo and the BCDA.
