2. The BTC was declared as a heritage site in 2005 and 2008 by the Baguio City Government and the National Government through the National Heritage Commission. It is known to be a teachers' training center and venue for events and seminars of the Department of Education (DepEd), Local Government Units, and other public and private organizations. It also serves as a vacation site for teachers and their families, including other government employees, with discount rates.
3. From 2022 to 2023, the BTC had an average annual gross income of Php 66 Million from the rentals for the use of dormitories, cottages, and other facilities and with an average annual occupancy of 123,000 individuals. As such, it is imperative to fully sustain the BTC as a viable source of income to finance its operation.
4. Moving towards development, the internal and external operational issues, problems, and concerns affecting its smooth operations, require immediate attention and support from the DepEd Central Office management.

b. provide advisory assistance in addressing problems and/ or disputes concerning the ownership of BTC by DepEd; and
c. ensure effective implementation of recommended and approved actions and activities relating to the operations of BTC.
7. This supersedes DepEd Memorandum No. 005, s. 2024[Revised Management Support Committee for Baguio Teachers Camp]. All other issuances inconsistent with this Memorandum are hereby revoked/repealed accordingly.
