It cited the President’s authority under Republic Act (RA) No. 7916 (Special Economic Zone Act of 1995), as amended by RA No. 8748, upon recommendation of the Board of Directors of the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA).
The PEZA Board of Directors recommended it.
It is known as the “SMTT IT Park,” located at Manila East Road, Barangay Dolores, Taytay, Rizal.
Twenty-Four Thousand Nine Hundred Eleven (24,911) square meters, more or less.
Because the creation/designation does not operate independently of the enabling law; the park’s status and operations must comply with RA 7916 (as amended), its IRR, and PEZA board resolutions cited in the proclamation.
Resolution No. 00-411 (s. 2000), as amended by Resolution Nos. 11-066 (s. 2011) and 12-329 (s. 2012), and Resolution No. 14-002 (s. 2014).
Lots 3-A, 3-B, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8.
Examples: Lot 3-A (TCT No. 724252), Lot 3-B (TCT No. 542214), Lot 4 (TCT No. 724253), Lot 5 (TCT No. 724254), Lot 6 (TCT No. 724255), Lot 8 (TCT No. 724256).
It uses metes and bounds (bearings and distances) starting from a marked point (e.g., “point marked a1a”) and provides boundaries using adjoining lots/roads/creek, plus area and survey dates.
It supports certainty and verifiability of the boundaries/locations for the parcels designated as the IT Park, linking the technical description to actual monumented points on the land and to the approved survey plan.
It acknowledges that the area is approximate due to measurement/surveying variations, while still designating the parcel identified by the technical description.
For example, Manila East Road (Taytay By-Pass) (30.00 m. wide) is used as a boundary in multiple lots; likewise, a creek (1.50 m to 3.00 m wide) is used for Lot 4.
It states survey dates such as original survey (e.g., 23 March 1960 to 20 July 1968) and subdivision/consolidation survey dates (e.g., 28 November 1985 approved 13 December 1985; 22 March 1984 approved 30 October 1984).
It was done/signed on 20 August 2015, and the publication references it as appearing in the Official Gazette dated October 5, 2015.
It was signed by President Benigno S. Aquino III and countersigned by Executive Secretary Paquito N. Ochoa, Jr.
It designates a specific area for PEZA-regulated economic zone purposes, subject to RA 7916/IRR and PEZA rules, which can enable investors/entities operating within the zone to qualify for incentives and benefits under the framework.
