Philippines lie in the Pacific Ring of Fire, a region where earthquakes and other seismic activities are frequent. Through the NBCDO Memorandum Circular No. 01 Series of 2015, The DPWH Guidelines and Implementing Rules on Earthquake Recording Instrumentation for buildings was implemented with the objectives of: (1) ensuring the safety of building occupants by determining the condition of buildings, and (2) collecting earthquake related data during major seismic activities. Despite being signed on March 12, 2015, the compliance rate of the buildings here in the City of Manila was low. The purpose of this study is to determine the cost impact of the said guidelines to building owners using MCDA- AHP; as well as to identify the amount needed to equip the City of Manila. The research was carried out having SHM experts (for AHP) and building owners (for MCDA) as the respondents for the corresponding parts of the study. The results show that the equipment price has the biggest impact to the building owners and their willingness to pay for ERIs is lower compared to the market.
