Our Compliance Journey: Step-by-Step Regulatory Milestones
Ensuring 100% compliance with Philippine environmental, safety, and land-use regulations
Phase 1: Land Reclassification (LGU / Province)
Foundation of Legal Land Use Compliance
This phase ensures that the project site is properly aligned with local and provincial land use plans. Through the Land Reclassification process—from agricultural to commercial land use—AFHOMES secures approval from the Local Government Unit (LGU) and Provincial authorities, confirming that the land is legally designated for tourism and resort development.
This step is critical in establishing a legitimate and compliant foundation for all future development activities.
Phase 2: Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) – DENR-EMB
Environmental Protection and Sustainability Approval
The Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) is issued by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR-EMB). This phase evaluates the project’s environmental impact and ensures that all development plans meet national environmental standards.
AFHOMES undergoes detailed environmental studies to guarantee that the project promotes sustainable tourism, ecological balance, and responsible land development.
Phase 3: LLDA Clearance – Laguna Lake Development Authority
Water Resource and Ecosystem Protection
This phase ensures compliance with regulations set by the Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA), particularly for projects within the Laguna Lake watershed area.
The clearance confirms that the project will not negatively impact water systems, drainage, and surrounding ecosystems, reinforcing AFHOMES’ commitment to water sustainability and environmental protection.
Phase 4: Water Enhancement & Management System (EO 115 Compliance – LGU)
Local Environmental Policy Compliance
In compliance with Executive Order No. 115 (Series of 2025) issued by the Municipality of Calauan, this phase ensures the integration of water enhancement and management systems within the development.
This includes implementing measures for:
- Efficient water usage
- Drainage and runoff control
- Sustainable water resource management
This step highlights AFHOMES’ alignment with local environmental policies and proactive sustainability initiatives.
Phase 5: Site Development Permit (SDP) – LGU
Final Approval for Construction and Development
The Site Development Permit (SDP) is the final regulatory approval required before construction begins. Issued by the LGU, this phase ensures that all prior compliance requirements have been successfully completed.
Once approved, the project is authorized to proceed with site development, infrastructure construction, and operational preparations, ensuring full compliance with local building and safety regulations.
