Introduction
Located at Barangay Sabang, Morong, Bataan, The Bamboo Grove at Anvaya Cove is being developed as a
high quality, exclusive, residential resort village which shall be comprised of low-density single detached
houses, landscaped parks, tree-lined streets and scenic open spaces. At completion, The Bamboo Grove at
Anvaya Cove will form part of a residential subdivision called The Neighborhoods at Anvaya Cove which,
in turn, shall form part of a pleasant and special community which is Anvaya Cove Seaside Leisure
Community, a leisure-oriented development 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 Bamboo Grove at Anvaya Cove intend
to sell and convey lots therein only to shareholders and/or members of any membership club established or
to be established by the Declarant within the Anvaya Cove Seaside Leisure Community, subject to this
Deed of Restrictions, Covenants and Conditions. This Deed of Restrictions, Covenants and Conditions is
intended to cause any development within The Bamboo Grove 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 Seaside Leisure Community and
The Neighborhoods at Anvaya Cove in general, and The Bamboo Grove 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 its 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 Bamboo Grove 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 and which adapt to the tropical climate
and is carefully integrated into the natural landscape of The Bamboo Grove 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 Bamboo Grove at Anvaya Cove to shareholders and/or
members of record of any membership club established or to be established by the Declarant within the
Anvaya Cove Seaside Leisure Community.

shall also be posted in the bulletin board of the Homeowners’ Association.

2. On the date and hour fixed, the Board of Trustees shall proceed with the auction by viva
voce bidding and award the Lot to the highest qualified bidder. The minimum bid for the
Lot being offered for sale shall be reasonably determined and fixed by the Board of
Trustees prior to the auction and shall be posted in the bulletin board also prior to the
auction.

3. The bid price shall be paid by the winning bidder to the Homeowners’ Association through
the Treasurer 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 its name. The balance of the proceeds
of the sale shall be paid to the Selling Owner after settling all unpaid accounts due to the
Homeowners’ Association from such Selling Owner.

4. If no bid is received, or the bids received to purchase the Lot is less than the minimum
price fixed by the Board of Trustees, or if the winning bidder fails to pay the amount of its
bid in full within twenty-four (24) hours after the bidding, the same auction procedures
prescribed above shall be repeated from time to time at the discretion of the Board of
Trustees until the Lot offered for bidding is sold in accordance with such procedures.

5. If the proceeds from the sale of the Lot are not sufficient to pay in full the obligations due
to the Homeowners’ Association from the Selling Owner, then the Selling Owner shall
continue to be obligated to the Homeowners’ 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 Board of Trustees shall cause to
be annotated on the Registry 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 shall have been completed in
accordance with Article XII-B.3 hereof.

6. For the purpose of giving effect to the provisions of this Article XII-B, the Board of
Trustees 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 Registry 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.

developments are adjacent or contiguous to the Village, may be annexed to the Village or to The

Article XVI. No Waiver
