The project will be undertaken in partnership with SM Prime Holdings. Co-signatories for the project are SM Prime Holdings, Inc. Senior Vice President – Mall Operations Bien C. Mateo (seated leftmost) and Bgy. Puerto Rivas Ibaba Chairman Ferdinand P. Herrera, representing the group Tinig ng Mandaragat (seated rightmost).
