We are Unit Owners at Soho Central Condominium Corporation's building, a project of Century Properties Inc. from a joint venture of Meridien Development and Greenfield Development. This blog will teach and consolidate information regarding our building. Please submit comments; and if anyone would like to meet for tea/coffee to discuss the building, please send us an email. Unit Owners have been unable to witness decisions being made with our money at private board meetings.
Plan, plan and plan some more
QUESTION: Is Stonewall Central a better name for the property?
Does everyone remember this among the wonderful ads and brochures and how about the salespeople and what they told us. I hear such fantasies continue. So after watching and remembering, cry and then laugh at the truth that is being exposed.
And, if the above is not enough and you need elevated blood pressure, here is the project's brochure.
Many posts are still issues and need to be read once again. At this main hub of postings watch for new posts and updates. Please get involved by spreading the word as to the issues here. We must document all that is taking place. Many documents need retrieval and assistance is needed in getting them scanned and posted.

(original web post 02/21/13): 1) Is it true that a Director of the Board is receiving compensation? If
so, are they the only one? I was told a figure of 35,000 pesos a month; is this
true? Where are the remaining Minutes & Resolutions?
2) Someone had
an electrical short in their unit due to damage to one plug. An engineer was not
surprised at the short travelling about and called it sakit ng gusali (sickness
of the building). Just how sick is the building? What have the Unit Owners not
been told? Will it require a full government audit for a complete and honest
disclosure to be made about the finances and physical attributes to be
exposed?
At Robinsons Adriatico Place, Tower ONE. a electrical short in one unit caused 3 other units to lose power.
i replaced the (stupid) electrical convenience outlets designed for strictly flat plugs to accommodate both flat and ROUND (round is more common in the Philippines so why did the developer choose flat? no difference in cost of the 2 types).
when i was replacing the sockets, i noticed that NONE of the wire insulation was properly cut off, and bare wire was always exposed!
even just unscrewing the sockets caused sparks as the screws used were NOT of the proper size. usually the short screws were replaced with longer WOOD SCREWS which often pierced the wiring!
the lack of quality control, the lack of qualified installers or electricians is scarey.
not to mention, wiring going to appliances was not of the proper gauge wire for the intended load!!
how much did they save? a few hundred pesos per unit, x 1800 units to pocket an extra profit at the risk of electrical fires and physical damage.
Robinsons Land justifies these issues by claiming 'well, all developers do that'.
