The Cliffside at Anvaya Cove

Deed of Restrictions, Covenants and Conditions

Located at Barangay Sabang, Morong, Bataan, The Cliffside at Anvaya Cove is being developed
as a high quality, exclusive, residential resort subdivision which shall be comprised of low-
density single detached houses, landscaped parks, tree-lined streets, and scenic open spaces. At
completion, The Cliffside at Anvaya Cove will form part of a pleasant and special community
which is Anvaya Cove, a leisure project where land uses and amenities complement and reinforce
one another within a socially cohesive and environmentally sensitive framework of development
that will forge family bonding memories through a unique natural experience where the
mountains meet the sea.

In furtherance of the plans for development, the developers of The Cliffside at Anvaya Cove
intend to sell and convey subdivision lots therein only to shareholders of leisure clubs to be
established by the Declarant within Anvaya Cove, subject to this Deed of Restrictions, Covenants
and Conditions. This Deed of Restrictions, Covenants and Conditions is intended to cause any
development within The Cliffside at Anvaya Cove to complement and draw attention to the rich
variety of rugged coastal, highland, and forested environment. Thus, in order to sustain over the
long term the high level of quality envisioned for Anvaya Cove in general, and The Cliffside at
Anvaya Cove in particular, this Deed of Restrictions, Covenants and Conditions are hereby
declared in order to:

• Safeguard every individual’s health, safety and welfare through establishing and sustaining a
safe, livable and pleasant community.
• Secure to each property owner the full benefit and enjoyment of his/her property with no
greater restriction than is necessary to ensure the same advantages to other owners.
• Assure residents that the intended land use and character of their neighborhood will be
preserved, protecting their right to access, ventilation, view, utility service and privacy.
• Maintain the high aesthetic standards that make The Cliffside at Anvaya Cove an attractive
and desirable place to live in.
• Allow property owners to create architecturally unified houses with unique interior spaces
and private gardens that reflect the natural coastal and highland elements, which adapt to the
tropical climate and is carefully integrated into the natural landscape of The Cliffside at
Anvaya Cove.
• Prevent nuisances and the deterioration of neighborhoods that inevitably follow a “let people
do whatever they want” philosophy of construction, maintenance, and property use.
• Protect property values by ensuring that only compatible developments and densities will be
located within the area.
• Preserve the exclusive character of the neighborhood and promote closeness among residents
by restricting ownership of lots within The Cliffside at Anvaya Cove to registered owners of
shares of stock in leisure clubs within Anvaya Cove

the “Selling Owner”) shall dispose of the Lot(s) registered in his name within thirty (30) days (the
“Selling Period”) from the date he ceases to become a shareholder and member of any club. In
the event that the Selling Owner fails or refuses to sell the Lot registered in his name within such
period, the Lot shall be disposed of in the following manner:

(i) Within ten (10) days following the expiry of the Selling Period, the Village
Association Board shall require the immediate surrender of the transfer
certificate of title covering the Lot and order the sale at auction of such Lot. For

such order to the existing Owners of Lots in the Village and owners of other
residential developments in Anvaya Cove who are registered shareholders in
Anvaya Cove Beach and Nature Club or any other membership club within
Anvaya Cove, indicating in such notice a specified date, time and venue of the
scheduled auction. A notice to that effect shall also be posted in the bulletin
board of the Village Association.

Board in full within twenty-four (24) hours after the bidding. The Deed of
Absolute Sale shall be executed by and between the Selling Owner and the
winning bidder who shall thereafter cause the transfer of the title to the Lot in his
name. The balance of the proceeds of the sale shall be paid to the Selling Owner
after settling all unpaid accounts due to the Village Association from such

offered for bidding is sold in accordance with such procedures.

(v) If the proceeds from the sale of the Lot are not sufficient to pay in full the
obligations due to the Village Association from the Selling Owner, then the
Selling Owner shall continue to be obligated to the Village Association for the
payment of such obligation until it is fully paid. If the Selling Owner fails or
refuses to surrender the transfer certificate of title to the Lot for cancellation, the
Village Association Board shall cause to be annotated on the Register of Deeds’
duplicate original of such transfer certificate of title the fact of the Lot being
ordered for sale at a public auction and such annotation shall constitute a lien
thereon until the sale at public auction has been completed in accordance with
Article XII-B(iii) hereof.

(vi) For the purpose of giving effect to the provisions of this Article XII-B, the
Village Association Board shall be deemed, as they are hereby constituted as, the
Selling Owner’s attorney-in-fact who is authorized to offer the Lot at public
auction, dispose of the same to the winning bidder, cause the annotation of the
notice of public auction on the Register of Deeds’ duplicate original of the
covering transfer certificate of title, and perform all the acts as may be necessary
or required under the circumstances for and on behalf of the Selling Owner.

compliance with the terms hereof or to prevent the violation or breach of any of them. The
failure to enforce any right, reservation, restriction or condition contained herein, however long

representatives shall have the right during reasonable hours of the day and upon due notice, to
enter and inspect any structure constructed on the Lot to ascertain compliance with the

rectifications as necessary, at the expense of the Owner thereof, and the Declarant and/or
Declarant’s Assignee, as applicable, and their respective authorized representatives shall not, by
reason thereof, be deemed guilty of any manner of trespass for such entry, abatement or removal.
Further, the Declarant and/or Declarant’s Assignee, and their respective authorized
representatives may enjoin, abate or remedy by appropriate legal proceedings, either in law or in
equity, the continuances of any breach of this Deed of Restrictions.

all other rights or privileges of membership to the Village Association of any Owner for any

such Owner after the existence thereof has been declared by the Declarant, Village Association or
Design Review Committee.

The Declarant may be appointed by an Owner as proxy for official Village Association meetings,

revokes such proxy in writing, and (ii) personally attends the general or special membership
meeting or assembly.

ARTICLE XVI. FAILURE TO ENFORCE NOT A WAIVER

The language of this Declaration shall be construed according to its fair meaning. However, any
conflict in interpretation shall be resolved in favor of the more stringent interpretation in view of

and controlled community as provided for in this Deed of Restrictions and made known to the
Owner and Village Association.

and effect.
