Investments board signs Lease Act IRR

THE Board of Investments (BoI) has signed the implementing rules and regulations (IRR) for the Republic Act No. 12252, or the 99-year Investors’ Lease Act, marking a step towards the new regulation’s implementation next year.

“Our goal is to establish the Philippines as a top global investment destination,” Trade Secretary and BoI Chairman Ma. Cristina A. Roque said in a statement on Thursday.

“This signing provides the long-term security our investors need and proves that we are serious about creating a more competitive and business-friendly nation,” she added.

The IRR, which the BoI signed with the Land Registration Authority on Dec. 19, operationalizes the extension of lease periods for private land by foreign investors from 75 years to an aggregate of 99 years.

“By offering longer leasehold terms, the government aims to attract a steady flow of long-term capital, advanced technology, and global expertise,” the BoI said.

“Beyond extending lease durations, the IRR introduces vital administrative safeguards designed to protect both landowners and lessees,” it added.

In particular, the IRR requires annotating lease contracts on the land title, which is meant to make the lease binding to the public and provide an essential layer of legal protection.

“Additionally, the IRR simplifies the investor journey by providing a clear, step-by-step process for compliance and establishing specific timelines for government agencies to act on applications, thereby reducing bureaucratic friction,” it said.

In a social media post, the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) welcomed the signing, noting that the implementation of the new regulation will help provide “more certainty for investors, better long-term planning, and more jobs, infrastructure, and growth across BCDA developments.”

The law, signed on Sept. 3, also gives investment promotion agencies the power to enforce commitments, the BCDA added.

The new regulatory framework is expected to take effect on Jan. 4, following its publication on Dec. 20. — Justine Irish D. Tabile

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise

The post China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise China’s internet regulator has ordered the country’s biggest technology firms, including Alibaba and ByteDance, to stop purchasing Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D GPUs. According to the Financial Times, the move shuts down the last major channel for mass supplies of American chips to the Chinese market. Why Beijing Halted Nvidia Purchases Chinese companies had planned to buy tens of thousands of RTX Pro 6000D accelerators and had already begun testing them in servers. But regulators intervened, halting the purchases and signaling stricter controls than earlier measures placed on Nvidia’s H20 chip. Image: Nvidia An audit compared Huawei and Cambricon processors, along with chips developed by Alibaba and Baidu, against Nvidia’s export-approved products. Regulators concluded that Chinese chips had reached performance levels comparable to the restricted U.S. models. This assessment pushed authorities to advise firms to rely more heavily on domestic processors, further tightening Nvidia’s already limited position in China. China’s Drive Toward Tech Independence The decision highlights Beijing’s focus on import substitution — developing self-sufficient chip production to reduce reliance on U.S. supplies. “The signal is now clear: all attention is focused on building a domestic ecosystem,” said a representative of a leading Chinese tech company. Nvidia had unveiled the RTX Pro 6000D in July 2025 during CEO Jensen Huang’s visit to Beijing, in an attempt to keep a foothold in China after Washington restricted exports of its most advanced chips. But momentum is shifting. Industry sources told the Financial Times that Chinese manufacturers plan to triple AI chip production next year to meet growing demand. They believe “domestic supply will now be sufficient without Nvidia.” What It Means for the Future With Huawei, Cambricon, Alibaba, and Baidu stepping up, China is positioning itself for long-term technological independence. Nvidia, meanwhile, faces…
