The information contained in the Bidding Documents, Information Documents, and any other
information subsequently provided to Interested Bidders, whether verbal or written, by or on behalf of
the Department of Transportation (DOTr), the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA), or any of
its employees or advisors, is provided to Interested Bidders on the terms and conditions set out in the
Bidding Documents and such other terms and conditions subject to which such information is provided.

While the drafters of this Instructions to Bidders (ITB) exerted their best effort to provide a fair and
comprehensive description of the Project based on the Project Business Case and other available
information, this document does not purport to be all-inclusive or to contain all the information that a
participant may consider material or desirable in making its decision to participate in the tender.

The Bidding Documents and Information Documents are not agreements and are neither offers nor
invitations by the DOTr or MIAA to the Interested Bidders or any other person. The DOTr, MIAA, its
employees, and its advisors, are not bound by any of the contents of these documents. The purpose of
these documents is to provide interested parties with information that may be useful to them in preparing
their Bids. The Bidding Documents and Information Documents include statements that reflect various
assumptions and assessments arrived at by the DOTr and MIAA in relation to the Project. Such
assumptions, assessments and statements do not purport to contain all the information that each
Interested Bidder may require. The Bidding Documents and Information Documents may not be
appropriate for all persons, and it is not possible for the DOTr, MIAA, its employees, or its advisors to
consider the investment objectives, financial situation and particular needs of each party who reads or
uses the Bidding Documents and Information Documents. The assumptions, assessments, statements
and information contained in the Bidding Documents, Information Documents, and associated
documents may not be complete, adequate, accurate or correct. Each Interested Bidder should
therefore conduct its own investigations and analyses, and should check the completeness, adequacy,
accuracy, correctness, and reliability of the assumptions, assessments, statements and information
contained in the Bidding Documents and Information Documents and obtain independent advice from
appropriate sources.

Information provided in the Bidding Documents and the Information Documents is on a wide range of
matters, some of which may depend upon interpretation of law. The information given is not intended
to be an exhaustive account of statutory requirements and should not be regarded as a complete or
authoritative statement of law. The DOTr and MIAA accept no responsibility for the accuracy or
otherwise for any interpretation or opinion on law expressed herein.

The DOTr, MIAA, its employees, and its advisors, make no undertaking, assurance, representation or
warranty and shall have no liability to any person, including any Interested Bidder, Prospective Bidder,
or Bidder under any law, statute, rules or regulations, principles of restitution for unjust enrichment or
otherwise, for any loss, damages, cost or expense, that may arise from or be incurred or suffered on
account of anything contained in the Bidding Documents, Information Documents, or other information
provided to Interested Bidders, Prospective Bidders, and Bidders, including the completeness,
adequacy accuracy, correctness, or reliability of such documents and any assessment, assumption,
statement or information contained therein or deemed to form part of the Bidding Documents,
Information Documents or arising in any way from participation in the Bidding Process.

Furthermore, the DOTr and MIAA do not accept any liability of any nature, whether resulting from
negligence or howsoever caused, arising from reliance of any Prospective Bidder or Bidder upon the
statements contained in the Bidding Documents or Information Documents.

The DOTr or MIAA may, in its absolute discretion, but without being under any obligation to do so,
amend, update, or supplement the information, assessments or assumptions contained in the Bidding
Documents or Information Documents. However, the DOTr, MIAA, its employees, and its advisors, shall

not be liable to any Interested Bidder, Prospective Bidder, or Bidder (including the Winning Bidder) in
respect of any failure to (i) disclose or make available any information, documents or data; (ii) amend,
update, or supplement the Bidding Documents or Information Documents; or (iii) provide any information
regarding any inaccuracy, error, omission, defect or inadequacy in the Bidding Documents or Information
Documents.

The issuance of the Bidding Documents or Information Documents does not imply that the DOTr or
MIAA is bound to select a Bidder or to appoint the selected Bidder, as the case may be, for the Project,
and the DOTr and MIAA reserves the right to reject all or any of the Bidders or Bids without assigning
any reason whatsoever.

Each Bidder shall bear all its costs associated with or relating to the preparation and submission of its
Bid, including but not limited to preparation, copying, postage, delivery fees, and expenses associated
with any demonstrations or presentations, which may be required by DOTr or MIAA, or any other costs
incurred in connection with or relating to its Bid. All such costs and expenses will remain with the Bidder
and DOTr and MIAA shall not be liable in any manner whatsoever for the same or for any other costs
or other expenses incurred by a Bidder in the preparation or submission of the Bid, regardless of the
conduct or outcome of the Bidding Process.

any, shall be communicated through the issuance of bid bulletins by the PBAC which will be made
available through the VDR. Upon the issuance of a bid bulletin, the same shall automatically be
incorporated into and made an integral part of the relevant Bidding Document. It shall be the

1.11.b If a foreign authority issued the document, the Bidder should also submit a certified true copy of
such document, in addition to the authentication/apostille certificate by the relevant Philippine
consular official referred to in Section 1.11.b.

1.11.c If the document is a foreign law or regulation, the Bidder need only submit a copy of the
