What critical information regarding legal service must a foreign corporation disclose in its license application?
The application for a license must specifically set forth the name and address of its resident agent authorized to accept summons and process in all legal proceedings (SEC. 142, Revised Corporation Code of the Philippines). This designation is mandatory, ensuring that there is always a designated individual or entity within the Philippines upon whom legal service and notices can be effectively made. This requirement is necessary pending the establishment of a local office by the foreign corporation. The application must also include a sworn certificate from the home jurisdiction attesting that the foreign corporation is an existing corporation in good standing.
