Proclamation No. 832 is a presidential proclamation. It transfers ownership of a portion of a specific property under the administration of the Philippine Information Agency (PIA) to the Provincial Government of Bulacan, while retaining a remaining portion for the PIA.
Because of the abolition of the National Media Production Center; the property was transferred to the PIA pursuant to Executive Order No. 100 (s. 1986).
Proclamation Nos. 22 (s. 1998) and 597 (s. 2004) transferred 25 hectares to Bulacan State University and 10 hectares to the City Government of Malolos, respectively.
Five Hundred Twenty Thousand Four Hundred Fifty (520,450) square meters, more or less.
One Hundred Twenty Thousand and Four Hundred Fifty (120,450) square meters.
Fifty Thousand (50,000) square meters.
To serve as the site of the proposed Bulacan Technohub and Innovation Center, benefiting the economic, educational, and agro-industrial sectors of Bulacan and adjoining provinces.
It states that the transfer was made upon the recommendation of the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), indicating procedural/administrative prerequisite before presidential action.
The proclamation says it is done “by virtue of the powers vested in me by law,” though the specific statute is not enumerated in the provided text.
The text describes Lot 2-B (Provincial Government of Bulacan) with an area of 118,450 square meters. It also includes Lot 2-C (Provincial Government of Bulacan) with an area of 2,000 square meters. Together they total 120,450 square meters transferred to Bulacan.
Lot 2-A (Philippine Information Agency) reserved for PIA, containing an area of 50,000 square meters, more or less.
It specifies lot numbers within a subdivision plan (e.g., Gsd-03-000384), references related land records (e.g., portion of Lot 2, Gcs-03-000023, LRC Rec. No.), enumerates boundary lines with bearings and distances, and sets the metes-and-bounds beginning point tied to a benchmark (BLLM No. 1).
Because the proclamation allocates ownership/administration by sub-lot: Lot 2-A remains under PIA, while Lots 2-B and 2-C are transferred to the Provincial Government of Bulacan, making boundaries and descriptions crucial to avoid overlap or disputes.
The property was under PIA’s administration due to prior executive actions; the proclamation then transfers ownership of designated portions from the national government’s control through PIA to the Provincial Government of Bulacan, while retaining a separate portion for PIA.
It includes the “WHEREAS” clauses, the “NOW THEREFORE” dispositive portion stating what is transferred and retained, descriptions of the lots, and a final “IN WITNESS WHEREOF” section with the President’s signature (Benigno S. Aquino III) and Executive Secretary’s attestation (Paquito N. Ochoa, Jr.), dated July 17, 2014 in Manila.
