BAGUIO CITY—The Supreme Court has ruled that Baguio City can collect business taxes and enforce documentary requirements like building permits or the mayor's permit on businesses operating inside Camp John Hay. The decision ended 14 years of legal battle between Baguio City and the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) over local taxation on locators at the 247-hectare buildup area of the 600-ha Camp John Hay. John Hay Management Corp. (JHMC), BCDA's estate manager which oversees this former American rest and recreation baseland, went to court to stop the city government from levying fees on business locators of the John Hay Special Economic Zone (JHSEZ), arguing that economic zones are governed by different fiscal rules and exempt from local taxation.

I use a range of Sony headphones and earbuds, from the MDR-Z1R to the IER-M9 to consumer models like the WH-1000XM and WF-1000XM series. It all depends on where I am (at home, on the go locally, or traveling) and what equipment I'm using (a Sony digital music player with a balanced headphone output jack or Bluetooth LDAC support, or a simple iPhone that only supports the Bluetooth AAC codec).
