- 9. FOR INTERNAL TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY VICINITY / TRAFFIC With the development of other high-rise buildings in the vicinity of Portico and considering that access roads are not along major thoroughfares, will there be future traffic rehabilitation program surrounding the development? The local government has not released any information on the rehabilitation of the access roads leading to Portico. However, Portico Land will cooperate with the LGU on any traffic management measures that will be contemplated. In addition, the overall intent of the masterplan provides that vehicular access into and out of Portico through Capt. Javier St. and Oranbo Dr. will be straightforward via intercept ramps that lead to an integrated basement parking system in order to avoid vehicle queueing at street level and to prevent traffic build-up in the area.

- 13. FOR INTERNAL TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY VICINITY / TRAFFIC How will the increasing density of the area be addressed? Portico was envisioned and masterplanned to provide a breath of fresh air amidst the growing metropolis of Ortigas.

- 30. FOR INTERNAL TRAINING PURPOSES ONLY BUILDING DETAILS How will concerns on proximity to the fault line be addressed? How far is the site from the West Valley Fault (WVF)? Is the site safe for development of high-rise condominiums? The site is located approx. 280 meters away from the surface trace of the WVF. Underneath the earth’s surface, the WVF dips further East. An earthquake’s seismic source is typically where the fault line is at least 10 kilometers below the earth’s surface. If the WVF causes an earhthquake, its epicenter would be more than 2 kilometers away from the site. In addition, the structural design of the building follows a performance-based design (PBD) approach which means that the structural integrity of the buildings is guaranteed over a ~2,475 year return period. This approach goes beyond the standard code-based design practice that implies structural integrity over a ~50 year return period. Also, the professional services of well-respected structural consultants Sy2 Structural Engineers (local) and the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT; international) have been contracted for the structural design of Portico based on PBD. Moreover, the services of international firm Arup shall also be contracted to perform a peer review in order to further strengthen the design of Sy2 and AIT.
