Hi Ms.

Jojo,

Please see below pertinent provisions of RA No. 11231 regarding the corporation being allowed
to be the BUYER of a free patent.

 Note that R.A. No. 11231 eases the restrictions on free patent aside from
the 5-years restriction. Please see below pertinent provisions for your
reference:

"Section 3. Agricultural public land alienated or disposed of in favor of

qualified public land applicants under Section 44 of CA 141, as
amended, shall not be subject to restrictions imposed under Section x x
x 121 thereof regarding acquisitions, x x x"

Section 121 of CA 141, as amended "Except with the consent of the grantee
and the approval of the Secretary of Natural Resources, and solely
for commercial, industrial, educational, religious or charitable purposes or
for a right of way, no corporation, association, or partnership may acquire
or have any right, title, interest, or property right whatsoever to any land
granted under the free patent, homestead, or individual sale provisions of
this Act or to any permanent improvement on such land"

With the enactment of RA No. 11231, an agricultural free patent is now a

title in fee simple free of any restriction on its encumbrance
or alienation.

In simple terms, Agricultural Free Patent Reform Act removes the restrictions on agricultural
free patents under the Public Land Act of 1936 as follows:

1. Five-year prohibition on selling and mortgaging from the issuance of the patent (Section 118);

2. Five-year right to repurchase the patents within five years from the transfer and conveyances
(Section 119); and
3. Prohibition on the corporation, association, or partnership to acquire or own an
agricultural free patent (Sec. 121)

See the attached as well for your reference.

Kindly use this law every time a government agency tries to hinder you in making the
corporation the BUYER of the free patent.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
