PROJECT PROPOSAL:
PROPOSED MID-RISE SERVICED APARTMENT BUILDING WITH TWO LEVEL
PARKING

SECTION I. WHAT IS SERVICED APARTMENT?

In brief, a serviced apartment is a completely furnished apartment designed
for both short-term and long-term occupancy. It comes with everyday
amenities, housekeeping, and various services, all encompassed in the
rental fee. You might be tempted to draw a parallel with a hotel, but they
are distinct in several ways.

In summary, the benefits of opting for a serviced apartment over

conventional hotels can be distilled as follows:
1. A serviced apartment provides a more home-like atmosphere, equipped
with amenities that offer greater freedom and comfort.
2. Typically, serviced apartments offer more square footage than standard
hotel rooms, providing ample space for your sports equipment or other
belongings.
3. When staying for an extended period, a serviced apartment is notably
more cost-effective than a hotel room. This is due to the lower actual
apartment cost and the option to prepare your own meals, reducing the
need to dine out for every meal.
4. Serviced apartments reflect the local culture of the area, offering a
genuine glimpse into what a local residence looks like. This immersive
experience provides a deeper understanding of the local culture and values,
which is often lacking in the uniformity of hotel rooms.
The best example for serviced apartment in cebu is citadines. It has a lot
of amenities such as fitness centre, function & meeting rooms, swimming
pool, launderette, business centre services, daily housekeeping services,
24 hour reception, and free wifi.

resistant material. Whenever and wherever possible, walkways should have
a gradient no more than 1:20 or 5%. Walkways should have a maximum
cross gradient of 1:100. Walkways should have a minimum width of 1.20
meters. If possible, gratings should never be located along walkways. When
occurring along walkways, grating openings should have a maximum

provided at some point along the route so that a wheelchair may pass
another or turn around. These spaces should have a minimum dimension
of 1.50 m and should be spaced at a maximum distance of 12:00 m
between stops. To guide the blind, walkways should as much as possible
follow straightforward routes with right angle turns. Where planting is
provided adjacent to the walkway, regular maintenance is essential to
ensure branches of trees or shrubs do not overhang walkways or paths, as
not only do these present a particular danger to the blind, but they also
reduce the effective footways width available to pedestrians generally.
Walkway headroom should not be less than 2.0 m and preferably higher.
Passageways for the disabled should not be obstructed by street furniture,
bollards, sign posts or columns along the defined route, as they can be
hazardous.

> HANDRAILS (B.P. No. 344 Accessibility Law)

Handrails should be installed at both sides of ramps and stairs and at the
outer edges of dropped curbs. Handrails at dropped curbs should not be

with vestibules shall be provided a level area with at least a 1.80 m. depth
and a 1.50 m. width.

> RAMPS (B.P. No. 344 Accessibility Law)

ramp should not exceed 6:00 m. if the gradient is 1:12; longer ramps
whose gradient is 1:12 shall be provided with landings not less than 1.50
m. A level area not less than 1.80 m. should be provided at the top and

curbs on both sides with a minimum height of 0.10 m. Any ramp with a rise
greater than 0.20 m. and leads down towards an area where vehicular
traffic is possible, should have a railing across the full width of its lower
end, not less than 1.80 meters from the foot of the ramp;

> CORRIDORS (B.P. No. 344 Accessibility Law)

Corridors shall have minimum clear width of 1.20 m.; waiting areas and
other facilities or spaces shall not obstruct the minimum clearance
requirement. Recesses or turnabout spaces should be provided for
wheelchairs to turn around or to enable another wheelchair to pass; these
spaces shall have a minimum area of 1.50 m x 1.50 m. and shall be spaced
at a maximum of 12.00 m. Turnabout spaces should also be provided at or

two (2) where the number of water closets exceed 20.

> ELEVATORS (B.P. No. 344 Accessibility Law)

Accessible elevators should be located not more than 30.00 m. from the
entrance and should be easy to locate with the aid of signs. Accessible
elevators shall have a minimum dimension of 1.10 m. x 1.40 m.

SECTION III. SITE HISTORY

Dionisio, born on May 8, 1878, was the son of Alfonso Jakosalem and
Apolonia Abella, hailing from Dumanjug, Cebu. He received his education
at the Colegio de San Carlos and the University of Santo Tomas, eventually
becoming a lawyer on March 27, 1907. His public service journey began at
a young age when he took office as Municipal Secretary of Dumanjug in
1900, and in 1903, he was appointed as Justice of the Peace of Cebu.

In 1906, he assumed the role of Cebu Governor, succeeding Don Sergio

Osmeña, who resigned to pursue a seat in the National Assembly. A year
later, Dionisio was elected as the Governor of Cebu. His historical
importance lies in being the first Filipino appointed to a Cabinet position,
following a decree issued by the American Governor General, Francis Burton
Harrison, on January 11, 1917. Dionisio assumed the position on January
18, 1917, serving as the Secretary of Commerce and Communication until
October 3, 1922. After concluding his term as Governor of Cebu in October
1912, he took on the role of Provincial Fiscal of Cebu on February 1, 1913."

This road functions as a major thoroughfare in Cebu City, starting at M.C.

Briones Street, where it intersects with various other streets like
Magallanes, Osmena Boulevard, Legaspi, Manalili, Colon, Sanciangko, P. del
Rosario, Gen. Maxilom, and ultimately ends at Gorordo Avenue. Historically,
during the American occupation, it was known as "Calle Norte America,"
but in the Spanish colonial era, it was called "Calle Alfonso Trece" in honor
of the Spanish King.
