The first singly owned, would cost Php20.00 a sq.m, but would needa roadway system, including the access road, 4,000 meters long, at a cost of Php 110.00 per meter. Additional development expenses would be Php 60,000 to subdivide and grade into 320 house löts, and another Php 32,000 for a hollow block fence and security gates.

The road system for this would be only 3,200 meters long at Php 100.00 per meter, but needs two box culverts each costing Php 25.000.00.
