The Fantasy Vision

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.

Question: If You Have Split Air Conditioners...

Question:  If You Have Split Air Conditioners...

have you looked at the places you believe the pipes lead from the air conditioner inside to the unit on the balcony?  I believe this is more significant for units installed for fully furnished units.  If you have had leaking, please contact us.  Please look for stains on the ceiling and walls.

We have filed a complaint and are looking to where the pipes are placed since there also seems to be a problem with the door frame leading into the bedroom of a one bedroom unit.

Rumor: All Elevators Working

Rumor:  All Elevators Working

Not so.  Let me repeat, not so.

Once again I get a text that someone was told by staff working in the building that all the elevators are working.  Not so!  Why spread this rumor?

I was also sent a text that one person working on the elevators said in jest or seriousness or frustration that they will be there for a lifetime.  Well, the reality is that this cannot take place.

A vote for a management contract and period of management contracts up to five years

A vote for a management contract and period of management contracts up to five years

Was there a vote I am unaware of?  How is it that a contract is longer than five years given the Philippine Corporate Code Title IV Section 44?
 
...No corporation shall conclude a management contract with another corporation unless such contract shall have been approved by the board of directors and by stockholders owning at least the majority of the outstanding capital stock, or by at least a majority of the members in the case of a non-stock corporation, of both the managing and the managed corporation, at a meeting duly called for the purpose ... No management contract shall be entered into for a period longer than five years for any one term. ...
