    Lands of the public domain are classified into agricultural, forest or timber, mineral lands
    and national parks. Agricultural lands of the public domain may be further classified by law
    according to the uses to which they may be devoted. Alienable lands of the public domain shall
    be limited to agricultural lands. 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.
    Citizens of the Philippines may lease not more than five hundred hectares, or acquire not more
    than twelve hectares thereof by purchase, homestead, or grant.
    Taking into account the requirements of conservation, ecology, and development, and
    subject to the requirements of agrarian reform, the Congress shall determine, by law, the size of
    lands of the public domain which may be acquired, developed, held, or leased and the conditions
    therefor.

    2. Former Natural-Born Filipino Citizens


    Sec. 8, Article XII, 1987 Constitution
    Notwithstanding the provisions of Sec. 7 of this Article, a natural-born citizen of the
    Philippines who has lost his Philippine citizenship may be a transferee of private lands, subject
    to limitations provided by law.
    Sec. 10, Foreign Investments Act of 1991
    Any natural-born citizen who has lost his Philippine citizenship and who has the legal capacity to
    enter into a contract under Philippine laws may be a transferee of a private land up to a maximum
    area of five thousand [5,000] square meters in the case of urban land or three [3] hectares in the
    case of rural land to be used by him for business or other purposes. In the case of married couples,
    one of them may avail of the privilege herein granted: Provided, That if both shall avail of the
    same, the total area acquired shall not exceed the maximum herein fixed. In case the transferee
    already owns urban or rural land for business or other purposes, he shall still be entitled to be a
    transferee of additional urban or rural land for business or other purposes which when added to
    those already owned by him shall not exceed the maximum areas herein authorized. A transferee
    under this Act may acquire not more than two [2] lots which should be situated in different
    municipalities or cities anywhere in the Philippines: Provided, That the total land area thereof
    shall not exceed five thousand [5,000] square meters in the case of urban land or three [3]
    hectares in the case of rural land for use by him for business or other purposes. A transferee who
    has already acquired urban land shall be disqualified from acquiring rural land and vice versa. [as
    amended by Republic Act No. 8179]
