MANILA, Philippines — Senate President Francis Escudero is confident that a new law which allows foreign investors to lease private land for up to 99 years woll make the country look more like an ideal investment destination.
"Foreign investors have long complained about the prohibitive provisions of our laws regarding the ownership of land by non-Filipinos. Businesses will never place their funds in destinations where there is uncertainty in laws and regulations. This law will go a long way in addressing these concerns," Escudero, an author of the law, said in a statement on Saturday.
He thanked President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. for supporting the measure., This news data comes from:http://lrm-jpkh-xm-hfq.052298.com
