MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. signed into law a measure allowing foreign investors to lease private lands in the Philippines for up to 99 years, Malacañang announced Saturday.
Republic Act (RA) 12252 or the Act Liberalizing the Lease of Private Lands by Foreign Investors amends RA 7652 or the Investors Lease Act, which seeks to boost foreign investments and provide a "stable environment for foreign investments."
Under RA 12252, signed on Sept. 3, 2025, foreign investors with duly registered projects may now enter into lease agreements for private lands for a maximum of 99 years but the President may shorten this period to investors under "vital services or industries considered as critical infrastructure" for reasons of national security.
