APPLICANT’S NOTARIZED UNDERTAKING

and profits or losses of the project covered by this application separately from the aggregate investments,
revenues, costs and profits or losses of the other business activities of the applicant not registered under
R.A. 9593, or establish separate entity for the project covered by this application if so required by the
Authority. (Applicable only if applicant is engaged or proposes to engage in undertaking or activities in
addition to the project covered by this application.)
5. That Applicant shall use domestic raw materials and supplies in preference to imported goods whenever
these are available at comparable quality and price.
