(e) Statement of the purposes for which the building or buildings and each of the units are intended or restricted as to use

The enabling or master deed may be amended or revoked upon registration of an instrument executed by the registered owner or
owners of the property and consented to by all registered holders of any lien or encumbrance on the land or building or portion thereof.
The term "registered owner" shall include the registered owners of condominiums in the project. Until registration of a revocation, the
provisions of this Act shall continue to apply to such property.

Section 5. Any transfer or conveyance of a unit or an apartment, office or store or other space therein, shall include the transfer or
conveyance of the undivided interests in the common areas or, in a proper case, the membership or shareholdings in the condominium
corporation: Provided, however, That where the common areas in the condominium project are owned by the owners of separate units
as co-owners thereof, no condominium unit therein shall be conveyed or transferred to persons other than Filipino citizens, or
corporations at least sixty percent of the capital stock of which belong to Filipino citizens, except in cases of hereditary succession.

concomitant transfer of the appurtenant membership or stockholding in the corporation will cause the alien interest in such corporation
to exceed the limits imposed by existing laws.

(b) There shall pass with the unit, as an appurtenance thereof, an exclusive easement for the use of the air space encompassed by the
boundaries of the unit as it exists at any particular time and as the unit may lawfully be altered or reconstructed from time to time. Such
easement shall be automatically terminated in any air space upon destruction of the unit as to render it untenantable.

(c) Unless otherwise, provided, the common areas are held in common by the holders of units, in equal shares, one for each unit.

persons for partition thereof by sale of the entire project, as if the owners of all of the condominiums in such project were co-owners of
the entire project in the same proportion as their interests in the common areas: Provided, however, That a partition shall be made only

condominium regime after expropriation or condemnation of a material portion thereof; or

(e) That the conditions for such partition by sale set forth in the declaration of restrictions, duly registered in accordance with the terms
of this Act, have been met.

Section 9. The owner of a project shall, prior to the conveyance of any condominium therein, register a declaration of restrictions
relating to such project, which restrictions shall constitute a lien upon each condominium in the project, and shall insure to and bind all
condominium owners in the project. Such liens, unless otherwise provided, may be enforced by any condominium owner in the project
