developed by Travellers International Hotel Group in partnership with PAGCOR.
2.2.1 ECEMI has an assignable right-of-way over the road network inside the
Entertainment City. It may create an access to and from the adjacent properties of

3.1 General
3.1.1 Although ECEMI’s jurisdiction is limited to the Road Right Of Way (RROW)
mentioned in the foregoing section, it is essential that road safety, cleanliness, and
orderliness within the entire Entertainment City be maintained at all times. Thus the
Licensees, other ECEMI members, developers, contractors, and the public will be
encouraged to cooperate fully to achieve this goal.
3.2.1 Within the RROW of Entertainment City, there are road furniture such as traffic
lights, street lights, road signages, and others that are directly under the
responsibility of the ECEMI. Incurred damages to these devices and materials shall
be chargeable to the party(ies) involved.
3.2.2 Beyond the RROW of Entertainment City, it will be the responsibility of Licensees,
other ECEMI members, developers, and contractors to maintain the area in a clean
and orderly manner. Each of the ECEMI members, developers, and contractors will
provide a logistical plan describing the overall site facilities and services that they
will establish and the operational strategy that will be followed ensuring that their
construction works proceed smoothly and safely, with a minimum impact on the
surrounding areas.
3.2.3 In order to avoid traffic congestion, there is a need to inform ECEMI regarding the
access of construction vehicles to the construction sites. There is also a need to avoid
certain access routes within Entertainment City. A Construction Vehicle Pass will be
required for construction vehicles that will be used for delivery, services, and other
purposes. Only vehicles with the Construction Vehicle Pass will be permitted to the
site.
4
3.2.4 It is the responsibility of the ECEMI members, developers, and contractors to provide
their own necessary control and guidance procedures/guidelines for their respective
visitors and/or guests to their work site to ensure their protection. If necessary, safety
gear must be provided for use of their visitors/guests while on site.
3.2.5 The ECEMI members, developers, and contractors must submit in advance on a
weekly basis their anticipated deliveries of materials and equipment. Deliveries not
indicated in the anticipated schedule of deliveries may be denied access to the site,
unless permission for access is being requested by ECEMI members, developers, and
contractors, which ECEMI shall approve not later than twenty-four (24) hours from
such request. Deliveries of abnormal loads such as heavy and long construction
equipment and others must be included and highlighted in the schedule within a
minimum of forty eight (48) hours in advance of such delivery. The concerned
ECEMI member, developer, or contractor must coordinate closely with ECEMI
regarding the access routes to the site location. Delivery of this equipment must not
interfere with the normal vehicular traffic flow/condition of the road.
3.2.5 Developers/contractors shall ensure that their vehicles, especially the wheels, are
clean before proceeding onto the roads. Wash bays must be provided and be located
within their property. The developers, suppliers, and contractors will be responsible
for cleaning of debris, mud, concrete laitance, and other matter left by their vehicle on
the road, which may result in inconvenience and pose a hazard to motorists. Failure
to do so will result in fines and penalties.

compliance with ECEMI rules and regulations. Cleanliness must be maintained at all
times.

3.3.4 Upon completion of the works, the ECEMI members, developers, and contractors
must remove all temporary accommodations and facilities within fourteen (14)
calendar days from the time of completion of such work and final handover to the
client. Failure to do so will entitle ECEMI to undertake removal without prejudice to
loss, penalty charges, and legal action when applicable.
3.3.5 In case the ECEMI members and developers will have delays in the construction
activity at their site, the site must always remain in clean and tidy condition – grass
trimmed and no observable excessive vegetation. Rubbish or trash of any type such
as junk, scrap, bottles, boxes, and the like must be removed from or stored
appropriately or inconspicuously at the site. Failure to comply will compel ECEMI to
5
remove such materials at the expense of the concerned ECEMI member and/or
developer/s.

must be followed by all ECEMI members, developers, and contractors.
