BAGUIO CITY — The Baguio City government is coordinating with the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) to determine the legitimacy of the construction and operation of Dragon Treasure Castle, following complaints raised by residents of Irisville Subdivision in Barangay Irisan.
Mayor Benjamin Magalong said he directed the City Planning Office to formally coordinate with DHSUD to verify whether the tourist attraction complies with urban development regulations and holds all required permits.
Magalong stressed the need for a thorough review of the establishment’s documents, noting that homeowners in the area have formally sought government intervention over the impact of the theme park on their residential community.
Residents said the attraction has disrupted their daily lives, citing increased traffic congestion inside the subdivision and raising concerns over whether proper consultations were conducted before construction. They also questioned if environmental and social impacts were adequately addressed.
Dragon Treasure Castle opened as a theme park inside the subdivision in January 2025. City records show that its temporary operating permit expired on March 31, 2025.
While the establishment has applied for a regular business permit, the application remains under evaluation as local authorities assess its compliance with existing regulations.
