Why Coron ?
Let's take a little while to know why this island has been chosen by the Eco Cultural Tourism Islands Builder as their next destinations..
Coron is a developing tourist destination that will surpass all others when fully developed. It is in the center of the Calamianes Group of Islands that covers the islands of Busuanga, Coron, Culion and Linapacan. The area is endowed with several islands and islets. About 1,000 of the 1,700 islands of the province are located in Northern Palawan of which about 65% are situated in Calamianes.
The major advantage of Coron is that numerous individual islands are privately owned. Planning, development and management will be fully controlled by the resort owners. Coron has a strong municipal government and receives the full support of the provincial government. The municipality is a recipient of the revenues from the Malampaya gas reserves. An amount of P4 billion is allocated primarily to Coron for airport development, road construction, port reclamation, water system and electrification. The municipality is also a recipient of grants from foreign governments.
Major infrastructure development has been started. A modern terminal at the YKR Airport will soon open. The runway is being extended to accommodate Airbus aircrafts of regional flights. Concreting of the 20 kilometer road from the airport to Coron town is soon to be finished. The reclamation project is on-going in Coron town that will accommodate hotels, restaurants, malls and other tourism establishments.
The municipality of Coron itself is composed of Coron Island, a portion of Busuanga Island, and some 20 other laying islands. It is blessed with pristine white beaches, turquoise waters, limestone cliffs, and a virtually unspoiled country side all contributing to a breathtakingly beautiful landscape. Other features of interest includes volcanic lakes, natural hot springs, over 500 caves and thriving marine population.
Coron is a tropical paradise of many interesting spots for those who wants to explore serene and unperturbed scenery conducive both for adventurous avtivites and leisure trips,or..to simply be one with nature. Crowning lushly and calmly northern trip of Palawan made her stand so dignified as the "Gateway to Palawan" and Las Islas De Calamianes.

For foreigners retiring, investing and doing business in the Philippines requires more than one of these options below in conjunction together to best accomplish the total task required by each foreign real estate buyer, retiree, and investor.
• Right To Own Philippine Real Property
Currently the general rule is that only Filipino citizens and corporations or partnerships at least 60% Philippine owned are entitled to acquire land in the Philippines. As an expection to this rule, an alien acquisition of Philippine real estate is allowed in the following cases. Acquisition before the 1935 constitution. Acquisition thru hereditary succession if the foreign acquiree is a legal heir. Purchase of not more than 40% interest as a whole in a condominium project. Purchase by a former natural born Filipino citizen subject to the limitations prescribed by law. A Filipino who is married to an alien retains their Philippine citizenship, unless by their act or omission they are deemed to have renounced their Philippine citizenship.
• Pending Legislation To Provide Foreigners 100% Ownership
Rumor has it that the Philippine Governement is considering 100% ownership of Philippine real estate land for foreigners. If and when this happens we will post it here. In the meantime, the information below will provide more insight as to how a foreigner can hold title to Philippine real estate with the most benefits and lowest risk possible.
• Special Visas for Foreigners Investing in the Philippines
There are different visa options available to foreigners that allow foreign investment of Philippine land and real estate properties. Having the proper Philippine visa in conjunction with your specific requirements is just one step to securely holding title to Philippine real estate as a foreigner. Philippine visa and immigration issues only, go to the Philippines Government Bureau of Immigration website for more information on Philippine Visas. http://www.immigration.gov.ph/.
• Foreign Ownership as a Philippine Corporation
The typical common way for foreign nationals to best protect themselves in purchasiing and investing in Philippine real estate is for the Foreign national and or foreign corporation to create a Philippine corporation to hold title. This allows the Philippine corporation of a foreign national or foreign corporation the lowest investment risk and more control of their Philippine real estate investments, and other Philippine investment assets. Foreign nationals, and corporations may 100% own a Philippine condominium or town home without the need of forming a Philippine Corporation. For private land, residential home with land lot and or commercial building with land lot ownership the foreign national and or corporation forms a Philippine Corporation to take ownership of the property. A Philippine Corporation with Foreign Nationals as required by Philippine law will be a maximum of 40% foreign owned, and a minimum of 60% Filipino owned. A foreign national may be the sole person on the Philippine corporation bank account once after the Philippine corporation has been created provided the foreigner has the proper Philippine Visa status, and power of attorney agreements. This structure allows the foreign national total control over the funds derived and paid out from the Philippine Corporation and from the income or sale of the asset or real estate property within the corporation. This method is by far the most complete and secure way for foreigners to purchase and hold Philippine real estate assets.
• Form a Philippine Corporation to hold Title
We provide our foreign national clients Philippine incorporation services. Most incorporations are simple and affordable to process depending on the type of corporation to be formed. Different types of corporations have different rules, regulations, and minimum capital funding requirements. Typical incorporations to hold Philippine real estate may be a "General Real Estate" or "Trading or Marketing Company" or something similar to be able to buy, hold and sell Philippine real estate property. Corporations can be formed to conduct business in the Philippines as well. The first step to forming a Philippine Corporation is having Philippine incorporation partners you can trust to be team players with you in your Philippine investment plans. Many times the Philippine incorporators will be Philippine family, relatives, friends, business associates whom the foreign national can trust to be a part of the Philippine corporation. With additional separate legal enforceable agreements such as a power of attorney and other types of agreements, Philippine incorporators become silient partners and team players with foreign investor partners wishing to make Philippine investments without having their investments at risk in case of unforeseen events or changes in their investments plans. Contact us with your specific requirements to learn more about our Philippine Incorporation Services and how we help protect our foreign clients Philippine investments interests.

• New Dual Citizenship Laws Affecting Property Ownership
Dual citizenship is now newly available for the following. Dual citizenship means having two citizenships and passports from two different countries. Former Philippine citizens born in the Philippines, but that have immigrated to another country and obtained citizenship of that country. Dual citizenship allows the citizenship holder full rights of possession of Philippine real estate property. Click the following link for more information on Philippine Dual Citizenship.
• Foreigner Married to a Philippine Citizen
If holding title as an individual, a typical situation would be that a foreigner married to a Philippine spouse citizen would hold title in the Philippine spouses name. The foreign spouse name cannot be on the property Title but can be on the contract to buy the property, and should be to document the process taken to obtain such asset. In the event of death of the Philippine spouse, the foreign spouse is allowed a "reasonable" amount of time from the Philippine government to dispose of the property and collect the proceeds or the property will pass to any Philippine heirs and or relatives. As a foreign investor caution should be taken upon considering and taking title to Philippine real estate in this manner. In the event of problems with the Philippine spouse and the investment assets in the Philippine spouse name, the foreign national may not have many rights to the assets or any at all. There have been many cases where the foreign spouse intrusted all of the Philippine assets to the Philippine spouse, then there was a split in the relationship and the foreigner lost his invested monies. We don't want our foreign clients becoming another victim of this. Contact us before choosing this option so we can provide you other options and let you make the decision.
• Foreign Leasing of Philippine Real Estate Property
A foreign national and or corporation may enter into a lease agreement with Filipino landowners for an initial period of up to 50 years, and renewable for another 25 years. Or lease the property in your Philippine Corporation name for an unlimited period of time.
• Former Philippine Citizens
"Balikbayan", which is a former natural born Filipino citizen, and now is a citizen of another country is entitled to own for residential purpose 1,000 square meters of residential land, and one hectare of agricultural or farm land. For business purpose 5,000 square meters of urban land or three hectares of rural land. This is one option for Balikbayans to take ownership of Philippine real estate but the better option that provide less restrictions and more benefits is to form a Philippine corporation.

• Philippine Law Real Estate Acquisition and Disposition Definitions
Acquisition is the act of procuring or getting a hold of real estate property. Disposition is the manner of alienation, transfer of possession and ownership thereof as prescribed by the Philippine law. The acquisition and disposition of real estate is embodied in written agreements or contracts voluntarily entered into and subscribed by the selling and buying parties thereof, before a public officer designated as the Notary Public of the City or Province where the subject property is located. Thereafter, the instrument embodying the particular real estate transaction is required by law to be recorded in the Registry of Deeds in the City or Province where the real estate property is involved and located. The Philippines uses the "Torrens" system of real estate ownership. See below for more information.
• Torrens System of Real Estate Ownership
An adapted form of the "Torrens" system of land registration is used in the Philippines. The system was adapted to assure a buyer that if he buys a land covered by an Original Certificate of Title (OCT) or the more familiar Transfer Certificate of Title (TCT) issued by the Register of Deeds, the same will be absolute, indefeasible and imprescriptible. The registered owner will never lose his ownership to squatters no matter how long such land was illegally occupied.
Tax Declared properties -are owned by the Government but you have the right to possess, use, develope and dispose it. With proper Leasehold Agreement and/or Land Use Agreement with the Government, you can pursue construction and development in this kind of properties. A Tax Declaration is granted by the Government in lieu of freehold land while it does not provide absolute security of indefeasible title provided by a Torrens title, it is however, the best thing. Tax Declarations are universally recognized in Philippine jurisprudence as evidence of possession.
Certificate of Stewardship Agreement (CSA) / now: Forest Land use Agreement for Tourism purposes (FLAG-T) -A document issued by the Government to qualified individual occupants pursuant to Stewardship Agreement (SA) / Forest Land Agreement. This is a 50-year contract entered into by and between an individual forest occupant or forest community association and cooperative and the Government allowing the former the right to peaceful occupation, possession, and sustainable management over the designated area. This certificate is transferable and it can even be as loan instrument or collateral.
Titled -The present land titling system of the Philippines was instituted just after the Americans colonized the Philippines in 1898.Act 496, or the "Land Registration Law of 1903" placed all public and private lands in the Philippines under the Torrens system.
A foreigner may be able to acquire properties in the Philippines by any of the ff.:
