JUST FOR YOUR INFO STATEMENT OF WENDELL AVISADO, SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT AND ACTING SECRETARY GENERAL OF THE BOY SCOUTS OF THE PHILIPPINES, ON THE SUPPOSED HOTEL IN MT. MAKILING Posted: Tuesday, April 01, 2014 The Boy Scouts of the Philippines (BSP) would like to emphasize that there is no truth to the allegations being circulated in social media regarding a supposed private hotel of Vice President Jejomar C. Binay within the vicinity of the Makiling National Scout Reservation Park and that trees have been cut down in the area. The BP International Hotel, named in honor of Scouting’s founder Lord Baden Powell, was opened during BSP’s hosting of the 26th Asia-Pacific Regional Scout Jamboree in December 2009. The hotel is owned by BSP and currently managed by El Cielito Hotels. It is open to the public and is used to provide lodging facilities for local and international scouting officials and members during BSP events. It was constructed with the knowledge and consent of UPLB. The said property is being leased by BSP from UPLB. The area where the hotel is located was the exact location of the former Romulo Hall and Lim Hall which used to house the jamboree program committee headquarters. They are part of the facilities for all national and international jamborees hosted by the BSP in cooperation with other national agencies and local government units. No additional land was acquired and no trees were cut. In fact, the trees in the area have been preserved.
