The President acted pursuant to Republic Act (RA) No. 7916, the Special Economic Zone Act of 1995, as amended by RA No. 8748, upon the recommendation of the Board of Directors of the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA).
It created and designated (1) the building known as the Aseana 3 BPO Building (with a gross floor area of 47,834.24 sq. m., more or less) and (2) the parcel of land upon which it stands (3,139 sq. m., more or less).
It designated the area as a Special Economic Zone (Information Technology Center), as defined under RA 7916, as amended.
Aseana Avenue corner Macapagal Boulevard, Aseana City, Paranaque City, Metro Manila.
To precisely identify the metes and bounds and the exact area covered by the SEZ so the government, PEZA, and investors know the zone’s territorial extent for regulatory and incentive purposes.
It refers to a portion of Lot 11, PCS-00-006507.
Bounded on the NE by Lot 21 (Pcs-00-006507) along Macapagal Blvd.; on the SE by Lot 12 (Pcs-00-006507) along Asean Ave.; and on the SW, NW, & NE by portions of Lot 11 (Pcs-00-006507) as described by the specified lines (4-5-6-...-15-1-2).
They indicate the administrative approvals and amendments by PEZA’s Board that support or modify the zone’s creation and designation, consistent with the PEZA law and implementing rules.
Building gross floor area: 47,834.24 sq. m. (more or less). Land area: 3,139 sq. m. (more or less).
It begins at a point marked “1” on the plan, described with a bearing/distance reference: “S. 06 deg. 50' W., 2090.08 m. from B.L.L.M. No. 11 (Swo-41755) Pasay City.”
It states the dates of the original survey, subdivision survey, and this survey/technical description, and identifies the geodetic engineers and DENR-NCR verification/approval. These details support the credibility and certification of the technical boundaries.
It is dated/issued as Proclamation No. 592 on September 25, 2018 (the date of execution stated in the document), while the reference includes publication information (e.g., 114 OG No. 41, 7012 on October 8, 2018).
PEZA evaluates and recommends (via its Board resolutions), while the President, exercising delegated authority under RA 7916 as amended, issues the Proclamation creating and designating the SEZ.
It signals that the zone’s creation and operations must comply with the substantive law (RA 7916), its IRR, and the specific PEZA Board decisions that govern requirements, classification, and administration of incentives within the SEZ.
Because it is a building-type SEZ designation—identifying the specific facility helps delineate which structures and operations may qualify under the SEZ regime.
