PURPOSE: The growing use of digital and social media (Online Media) has enabled Ayala
Land Inc. (ALI), its subsidiaries, and affiliates (Brands) to reach out and communicate to an ever-
expanding audience. Aside from being an avenue for self-expression, Online Media is also a tool
that we can use to further our business. As an Accredited Seller, you are an ambassador for ALI
brands, and your online presence affects how our current and potential clients and partners
perceive ALI. We respect your right to freely express yourself online, and this policy sets forth
guidelines that all Accredited Sellers can refer to with respect to your online actions.

COVERAGE: This Policy covers all uses of Online Media related to the Brands real estate
business. It is not intended to cover personal activities not related to ALI.
However, any conduct that may adversely affect the Brands may be covered
under the terms of this Policy.

DEFINITION: Online Media (digital and social media) encompasses publicly accessible online
communication to share information, ideas, messages, photos, videos, and other
content. These include, but are not limited to, social networks such as Facebook,
Twitter, Tumblr, and Instagram; blogs; forums; websites; groups; and
commentaries.

POLICY: We respect your right to express your ideas and opinions regarding various
topics on online media. However, just as you would in the offline world, be
responsible and exercise good judgment on your online activities to ensure
adherence to ALI policies and to preserve and uphold the reputation of the
Brands.

DISCLAIMER: The Brands accept no liability for content you create. Any views or opinions
presented, posted, and shared are solely those of the author and do not
necessarily represent those of the Brands. In addition, ALI may reasonably
monitor your behavior online, following the law and industry best practices.

COORDINATION: You may get in touch with the Channel Coordinator and Brand Marketing
Head responsible for implementing this Policy for questions and clarifications.

ADMINISTRATION: Policy violations are subject to review and possible disciplinary action as
defined in the Ayala Land Sellers Code of Ethics. The final resolution of
