KNOW BY ALL THESE MEN PRESENTS


This agreement entered to by and between :


  of legal age residing at Barrio Muzon Taytay Rizal  representing himself and the rest of brothers and sisters, here known as the LANDOWNER


                                                         and


 Taytay Land Gardens Inc,(still being registered) a company organized and subsisting  under Philippine laws with principal office Angono Rizal, herein represented by Jorge Saguinsin and Madelene R Saguinsin Sanchez hereinafter known as the DEVELOPER

Whereas the said project never materialized because of difficulties in getting a right of way, whose fees being asked for at the time was rather high


Whereas the Amagsilas sold to a third party  without notification,despite the acceptance of consideration and a signed Joint Venture Agreement which was a perfected agreement


Whereas, the developer has now obtained a favorable grant of right of way from 


Whereas the Aguinaldo party has been following up this project and awaits favorable decision from the  grantors of right of way, and successors in interest of the Amagsila, and will honor the original

agreements.


Whereas prior to the February 2, 2019, since December 2018, negotiations were underway for the grant of right of way from the De la Paz family,  The verbal OK was obtained from the de la  Paz family last January 31, 2019, and from Unisun February 1, 2019.   This grant is pricey and since no other options are available for the grant of right of way, and to be advanced by the developer, it is to the advantage of this Land owner to proceed together with the  Developer, and Architect Edu.


Whereas, through the intercession of Ms. Luisa de la Paz Javier met at SM Taytay Rizal on February 2, 2019 where for the first time, the Developer explained the mechanics of the memorial park, the possible saleable area and the revenues
