The
Mile-Hi Center
Taking
the place of the former Headquarters, is a commercial
complex that gives new meaning to fun and leisure at
Camp John Hay. Called the Mile-Hi Center (not to be
confused with the old Mile-Hi Recreation Hall, which
was earlier demolished to give |
 |
way
to the Golf Clubhouse), the whole area was leased out
by CJH DevCo to Inbound Pacific, Inc., which later subleased
commercial spaces to interested businesses.
Here,
let's take a quick peek at the newly-opened establishments
at the Mile-Hi Center:

Little
John's Convenience Outpost
Owned
and managed by Johnet Flavier, Little's John's is your
one-stop-shop that offers a little of everything, from
food and drinks, to newspapers, to basic personal necessities.
Its brightly-lit but warm and cozy interiors, complements
the delectable fare |
| prepared
by Johnet himself, who took up culinary arts in Switzerland.
Menu consists of breakfast/lunch/dinner specials, soups
and salads, pasta, sandwiches, desserts and more. Good
news is, they offer delivery service within CJH. Just
dial 446-0904. It's also nice to note that Little John's
is environment-friendly: for take-outs or deliveries,
they pack the food using reusable plastic containers and
put them in brown paper bags made from recycled paper. |

Camp
Souvenirs
Surely
one would want to bring home a souvenir or two from
his/her trip to Baguio, but would probably like to avoid
the crowd or the traffic going to places where "pasalubongs,
" are usually bought, like the city market or Mines
View Park. The Mile Hi Center
offers
a range of choices, from peanut brittle and strawberry
jam to the ubiquitous walls tambo. They also have silver
jewelries, woodcarvings, wall decors and tapestries,
blankets, knitted wear, even export overruns. And since
the vendors here are from the same group that supply/sell
in Mines View and the city market, the prices are comparable.
Perhaps
the only thing they don't have here to make one's shopping
in Baguio complete, are fresh produce and flowers. But
then again, who knows? |

Sportmart
For
the sports buff, there's a shop devoted to sports paraphernalia,
from golf clubs to dart flights. Sportmart carries several
quality brands like Reebok, Wilson, Timberland, Jansport,
Mizuno, etc. Sportmart is owned by Inbound Pacific and
managed by |
| Mr.
Cris Paguia. |
|
DMY
Antiques
Home
of Cordillera-inspired furniture like chairs, dining
sets, coffee tables, dividers, etc. Owned and managed
by Madel Tandoc, DMY has its main branch in Maharlika
Livelihood Center along Magsaysay Ave., where most of
their antique collections are on |
 |
| display.
Another outlet is located at the ground floor of Cooyeesan
Mall. Most of the furniture pieces are made from pinewood
and Acacia. The business was established by Madel's parents
in 1976. |

CJH
Commissary
The
first shop to open in the area, the Commissary had expanded
to accommodate more imported goods to make duty-free
shopping worthwhile and convenient. Several brands of
chocolates, canned goods, spices, and other items that
you don't |
| normally
see on the racks of a regular grocery store, you can find
at the Commissary. Prices are pegged in dollars, but you
can pay its peso equivalent based on the prevailing exchange
rate. Purchase coupon (which entitles one to a maximum
purchase of $25) is required as part of the Special Economic
Zone operations of Camp John Hay. |
