What limitations exist for private corporations regarding alienable lands of the public domain?
Private corporations or associations face strict prohibitions regarding the holding of alienable lands of the public domain. They are absolutely not allowed to hold such lands except through a lease agreement. The lease period is legally restricted to a maximum of twenty-five years, renewable for not more than another twenty-five years. Additionally, the total leased area cannot exceed one thousand hectares, according to the limitations in Article XII, Section 3, 1987 Philippine Constitution. “Private corporations or associations may not hold such alienable lands of the public domain except by lease, for a period not exceeding twenty-five years, renewable for not more than twenty-five years, and not to exceed one thousand hectares in area.” 22-Mar-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
