The President acts pursuant to the powers vested in Republic Act (RA) No. 7916 (Special Economic Zone Act of 1995), as amended by RA No. 8748.
The proclamation states it is upon the recommendation of the Board of Directors of the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA).
It references PEZA Board Resolution No. 00-411 (s. 2000), as amended by Resolution No. 04-295 (s. 2004), and Resolution No. 13-499 (s. 2013).
It is known as the “Villa Angela Techno Park,” located at Don Carlos Hilado Avenue corner F. Gonzaga Avenue, Bacolod City.
The area is Forty-Two Thousand Five Hundred Ninety-One (42,591) square meters, more or less.
It legally identifies the specific parcel of land by survey plan references, boundaries, and bearings, ensuring the designation covers the correct area.
It provides boundary directions (NW, NE, SE, SW) and cites the lots/road lots to which the parcel is bounded along specified line segments.
It signals that the creation/designation of the IT Park is not absolute; it must comply with RA 7916, its amendments, and the IRR governing special economic zones/IT parks.
To establish the reliability and official approval of the survey data that defines the metes and bounds of the designated property.
They trace the perimeter of the land parcel starting from a defined point (with bearing-distance coordinates) and connecting successive points until returning to the point of beginning.
They link the proclamation’s described area to officially surveyed cadastral/proprietary subdivision records, allowing verification of the exact land covered.
It acknowledges a minor variance from exact measurement, while still indicating the legally intended area as defined by the metes-and-bounds and survey plan.
It includes the President’s signature, attestation by the Executive Secretary, the seal of the Republic of the Philippines, and the date and place of signing.
It is dated April 4, 2014. The excerpt indicates it appears in 110 OG No. 21, 3371 (May 26, 2014).
Because RA 8748 amended the framework of RA 7916; thus the proclamation’s authority and compliance requirements must be read in light of the amended statute.
