The President acts pursuant to Republic Act (RA) No. 7916 (Special Economic Zone Act of 1996), as amended, and upon the recommendation of the PEZA Board of Directors.
The proclamation states it is subject to RA 7916 as amended, its IRR, and specifically PEZA Board Resolution No. 15-342 (s. 2015).
It designates specific parcels of land in Barangay Makiling, Calamba City, Laguna, for inclusion into the existing YTMI Realty-Special Economic Zone.
It means the designated parcels become part of the zone’s territorial coverage so that zone-related policies and incentives under RA 7916 may apply to activities within those lands, subject to conditions and PEZA rules.
The aggregate area is 14,842 square meters (14,842 m²), “more or less,” as defined by the technical descriptions of the listed lots.
They identify the exact parcels of land being included, using cadastral and land registration references (survey plan, lot numbers, and TCT) to remove ambiguity as to boundaries and the parcels’ legal identity.
Five main areas are listed: Lot 2404-B-1, Lot 2404-B-2, Lot 2404-B-3, Lot 2404-B-11-B, and Road Lot No. 3-J.
Including such parcels may be necessary to provide access and infrastructure supporting zone operations, while still treating the designated lands as part of the zone territory subject to PEZA and RA 7916 requirements (e.g., use constraints depending on easements/right-of-way nature).
It indicates that portions of the parcel boundaries are affected by legal easements along water bodies, which may restrict or regulate certain activities and development in accordance with applicable laws governing waterways and easements.
It signals that the inclusion is not standalone; it must conform to RA 7916’s conditions, PEZA’s administrative requirements, and the specific board resolution governing the zone area expansion.
To document the cadastral history and validate the survey/subdivision plan that defines the parcels’ boundaries, supporting the precision and reliability of the lot descriptions.
PEZA, through its Board, recommends zone expansion (Resolution No. 15-342 s. 2015). The President then issues a proclamation exercising authority under RA 7916 to designate the parcels, consistent with RA 7916’s IRR and conditions.
The descriptions provide bearings, distances, and adjacent lots/roads/water features with directional references (NE, SE, SW, NW). These are essential to reconstruct and verify the exact perimeter of each parcel being included.
