On December 16, 2024, the Philippine Senate and House passed amendments to the Investors Lease Act, proposing a 99-year lease for foreign investors, replacing the original 50-year term. This change prompts concerns about constitutional violations regarding foreign land ownership. Civil society warns that such long leases could effectively bypass land ownership restrictions. Key amendments require registration of lease contracts, proof of investment, and conditions ensuring that social and economic contributions are made.
