Baguio Mayor Reinaldo Bautista Jr., meanwhile said this development is timely. With its deteriorating state, the building should now be renovated, he said.
"It's about time the DENR does something to it," Bautista said.
Last year, the City Council passed a resolution requesting the DENR to transfer ownership of the building to the city, it being of historical significance.
Located at Upper Session Road, Casa Vallejo Inn was one of the lodging houses built when Baguio was founded in 1909.
