If you qualify under the Maceda Law:
1. Send a formal written notice to the developer requesting refund under R.A. 6552.
2. Keep all receipts, contracts, and correspondence as proof of payment.
3. If the developer refuses, you may file a complaint with the HLURB (now DHSUD) or seek legal assistance to enforce your right.
