Jaime Laya's wife, by the way, was a victim of the collapse of this hotel. You mention a book which he published on collecting Filipiniana.

We used to stay at Hyatt Terraces Plaza when ever we went to Baguio before the earthquake. It was a very nice place.
I remember ... we used to stay at the Terraces whenever we went to Baguio before the quake

Mrs. Laya died in Nevada Hotel.
Hyatt Terraces hotel site becomes a memorial shrine will be built and the construction is under way by 2013-14 3-6 years to be completed by 2018 in Baguio City as a concept compared to Vietnam Veterans memorial Capas war memorial and Christ the redeemer combined as soon as possible.Thanks for the information.From:Wayne
Firstly, Mrs Laya was in the Nevada Hotel attending the United Nations ILO Conference. She was not in the Hyatt Terraces Baguio list of casualties. Secondly, there is no definitive plan yet for the property but there are discussions and studies being undertaken. Third, to correct the many misconceptions, we had 98 recorded official casualties in the hotel and the last body we unearthed was before Christmas on December 1990. Last, we urge everyone to continue to pray for everyone who passed, not just in the hotel, the other areas around - schools, offices, hospitals, EPZA etc, but also on the roads - Kennon, Naguilian Roads respectively and in the Marcos Highway because some of them were never retrieved and did not get a proper burial. Thank you.
First Mrs Laya died at the Nevada Hotel as this was the site of the United Nations ILO Conference. Second, there are many discussions and studies underway as to what the best use of this space will be and nothing is set in stone. Third, to clarify many misconceptions, the last body retrieved in the hotel was right before Christmas of 1990 and it brought the count to 98 casualties - family, friends, co-workers, residents, tenants. Last, we urge you to continue to pray for everyone who lost their lives that fateful day and to include those who were buried under the enormous landslides in the three main thoroughfares - Kennon and Naguilian Roads and in the Marcos Highway as well as those we lost in the schools, EPZA, other hotels, hostels, office buildings, homes, hospitals and everywhere else in the country because of these two earthquakes that had epicenters in Cabanatuan and in La Union. Thank you.
