Landco Pacific Corporation, a subsidiary of Metro Pacific Investments Corporation led by Chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan, has assigned Landco Lifestyle Ventures (LLV) as the interim manager of The Manor, Forest Lodge, and the CAP-John Hay Trade and Cultural Center in Baguio City.

This transition aims to assist the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) in overseeing operations while preparing to award the properties for long-term lease and management.

LLV serves as the rebranded hospitality management arm of Landco, known for its master-planned resort estates, including the 15-hectare Casobe (Calatagan South Beach) and the 23-hectare Club Laiya in Batangas. The company will also manage the iconic beachfront condotels The Spinnaker and The Nautilus for unit owners who opt into the rental pool.

With this move, Landco Pacific strengthens its commitment to delivering high-quality leisure experiences, further expanding its footprint in the country’s premier tourist destinations.

Leadership and hospitality expertise

Patrick “Pato” C. Gregorio, head of Hospitality and Lifestyle Ventures at LLV, is leading the transition. Previously a senior consultant for hospitality and tourism at Landco Pacific, Gregorio brings decades of experience in tourism, sports, and hotel management.

“It’s a thrill to lead the exceptional team of Landco Lifestyle Ventures. The heart for hospitality will continue to be at the core of each of the tourist destination where we operate from Baguio to Batangas. Our commitment to genuine service will be the ideal match to the unique spirit, culture and attractions that each location offers. We look forward to growing the excellent experiences for Landco Pacific investors and unit owners, and guests, through giving them access to distinctive and diverse leisure amenities and accommodations in key tourist spots in the country,” Gregorio said.

Gregorio has held leadership positions in luxury and premium hotels and has been involved in Philippine sports administration. He previously served as the youngest general manager of Manila Hotel, president of Waterfront Hotels and Resorts, and chairman of the PBA during its 40th season. A TOYM awardee for tourism in 2003, he is a cum laude graduate of the University of the Philippines with a degree in Tourism.

A premier destination in Baguio

For a relaxing family adventure, a romantic retreat, a perfect spot for digital nomads to work in the clouds or for special events and conferences, the five-star hotel, lodge and trade and cultural center in Camp John Hay, managed by LLV, are exceptional choices in the country’s summer capital.

Once a rest and recreation facility for American soldiers, Camp John Hay’s expansive complex has evolved into one of Pine City’s top attractions, offering a perfect mix of nature, adventure, and relaxation.

Thrill-seekers can head to the Treetop Adventure activity center, where they’ll find exciting rides like the Superman zipline, Tree Drop, and Canopy Ride. If guests prefer a more leisurely pace, they can explore the Butterfly Sanctuary or stroll the scenic hiking spot called Yellow Trail.

The camp also features a world-class Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course and offers plenty of dining, shopping, and accommodation options.
