QuestionsQuestions (PROCLAMATION NO. 1120)
It was issued pursuant to the President’s powers under Republic Act No. 7916 (Special Economic Zone Act of 1995), as amended by Republic Act No. 8748, upon the recommendation of the PEZA Board of Directors.
To establish and designate specific areas as economic zones (here, an IT Park) that will qualify for the benefits and framework under RA 7916, as amended, subject to compliance with its requirements and PEZA regulations.
The recommendation was by the Board of Directors of the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA).
The proclamation states an aggregate area of One Hundred Thirty-Seven Thousand Seven Hundred Twenty-Seven (137,727) square meters, more or less.
It is located at South Bonifacio District, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City, Metro Manila.
It lists multiple parcels by lot and block numbers (e.g., Lot 1-7 Block 16, etc.), each with a technical description including boundaries, bearings, and an indicated approximate area.
It identifies with legal precision the specific parcels intended for designation, using survey data and boundary descriptions to avoid ambiguity in which lands are covered.
It cited PEZA Board Resolution No. 00-411 (s. 2000), as amended by Resolution No. 04-295 (s. 2004), and Resolution No. 11-377 (s. 2011), as amended by Resolution No. 13-805 (s. 2013).
It referenced original survey during 1909 and the consolidation subdivision survey from 15 to 30 December 2012, approved on 04 March 2013.
It states the creation/designation is subject to RA 7916 (as amended), its Implementing Rules and Regulations, and the referenced PEZA Board resolutions—meaning the designation alone is not the end; compliance is still required.
“Subject to” clauses indicate that the zone’s effects and benefits are governed and limited by the cited laws, IRR, and PEZA resolutions, so stakeholders must comply with qualification and regulatory requirements.
It was dated September 2, 2015 and signed by President Benigno S. Aquino III; it was attested to by Executive Secretary Paquito N. Ochoa, Jr.
Parcel areas are stated as approximate figures “more or less,” reflecting surveying limitations and practical tolerances; this signals that the legal boundary definition is through the technical description rather than exact arithmetic of area.
