How foreign corporations can do business in the Philippines

Our country endeavors to attract, promote and welcome productive investments from foreign entities, in activities which significantly contribute to national industrialization and socio-economic development to the extent that foreign investment is allowed in such activity by the Constitution and relevant laws (Sec. 2, R.A. No. 8179). With this, many foreign corporations choose to invest by engaging in business in the Philippines. In doing so, however, our laws have imposed certain conditions before foreign corporations may legally operate their enterprises in the country.
