The designation is anchored on RA No. 7916 (Special Economic Zone Act of 1995), as amended by RA No. 8748.
It creates and designates (1) the building known as “BGC Corporate Center 2” with a gross floor area of 35,439.29 square meters and (2) the parcel of land where the building stands with an area of 2,149 square meters (subject to the technical description in the proclamation).
It is located at Block 1, 30th Street corner 5th Avenue, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City.
It is designated as a Special Economic Zone (Information Technology Center).

It states the designation is subject to RA No. 7916 as amended, its Implementing Rules and Regulations, and the cited PEZA Board resolutions (including the amendments).
It uses a technical description identifying the parcel as “Lot 8, Block 1” under Pcs-00-011796, covered by TCT No. 1236-P, and also references that it forms part of various consolidated subdivision plans and lots/blocks within those plans.
It precisely identifies the metes and bounds of the land included in the SEZ so that the covered area is legally determinable and enforceable for zoning, licensing, and compliance purposes.
The point of beginning serves as the reference starting coordinate for the boundary survey; all succeeding courses and distances are measured from this point to define the exact perimeter and ensure closure of the boundary.
The description references a monument (BLLM #1, Mcadm-590-D), the bearing type (“bearings, true”), survey dates (original survey Sept.–Dec. 1907; consolidation-subdivision Feb. 10, 2006), and approval date (April 18, 2006), plus ground markers (P.S. cyl. conc, mons 15x40 cms).

The proclamation is signed by President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, and by Salvador C. Medialdea as Executive Secretary (for and in behalf of the President).
It is dated June 26, 2019, and “done in the City of Manila” on that date.
It expressly designates both the building (BGC Corporate Center 2) and the parcel of land where it stands, making the building and land together the covered SEZ area (with the land defined by technical description).
