CAN OUR HUNGARIAN FAMILY BUY LAND IN THE PHILIPPINES? & The Most Unexpectedly Beautiful Town!

On our way home from the Quezon land hunt trip we stopped by Lucban and were surprised by the beauty of this historical, charming town! Also discussed our experiences and decesions regarding the area. Is it a suitable place for my Hungarian Parents in the Philippines? Can foreigners even buy a land in the Philippines?

Foreigners are prohibited from owning land in the Philippines, but can legally own a residence. The Philippine Condominium Act allows foreigners to own condo units, as long as 60% of the building is owned by Filipinos.

[@romeladriano1441]

Foreigners can't buy land in the philippines but jonathan can buy, you are married to jonathan if your parents trust him then they can buy through jonathan.

[@SusieinthePhilippines]

Yes, that's the plan 🥰

[@emilon42]

here is a tip susie and jonathan, get a map and draw a circle with a chosen area point in metro manila as its center. the radius of your circle must depends on your required travel time. any place of your circle circumference line will be your choices. if for example you chose pandi, bulacan, the next step is to investigate the area for price per meter square, water sources, possible income etc, etc. the closer to metro manila the more expensive. you possibly will result of choosing nueva ecija area still because of all available resources N.E. can provide on top of that, you are already well versed in nueva ecija. in nueva ecija, the farther you go from the city or town center, the cheaper. if you live in sta. rosa, towards penaranda or fort magsaysay possibly a bit cheaper than sta rosa town. if i remember correctly, of all the provinces in central luzon, nueva ecija has the best water quality source, that's really hard to beat.

[@leonelli7906]

Please consult with some lawmakers in your area. They can provide guidance on how, or if, property can be acquired in the Philippines. Since your husband is Filipino, it might not be difficult.

Dual Citizens of the Philippines under Philippine Republic Act 9225 can own land in the Philippines without restrictions similar to foreigners or former natural-born Filipinos.

[@JABM-AU]

But, it takes 10 years to get citizenship in the Philippines unless the person applying is some kind of an Athlete or with celebrity status who is representing or promoting the country at an international level.

[@justmarie6257]

Do not buy land near the Volcanoes in Taal, Mayon . It will be awaken and terrible will happen in the surrounding areas, volanic lava underground. The Big one will come. Take your time, do your homework.

[@babyfernando63]

A must see festival in lucban is the Pahiyas, in honor of San Isidro Labrador, patron saint of farmers. This is celebrated May 15th of every year.

[@ruthbizares7436]

Wow !! At last ! You already visit Lucban! I was there last May during Pahiyas Festival and my cousin lives near that church Tru to visit the old cemetery. An old hispanic cemetery

Some decorations were still out! We are hoping gk return next year for Pahiyas

[@samueltiujr8539]

No foreigner can buy land in d Philippines, but if your husband is a Filipino he can buy

[@Ytkoh]

Anyway it is conjugal property.

[@seaweedhero1707]

How about a boat on Laguna De Bay Lake? Commute by water!

[@gratitude_jj]

It is allowed to acquire land since her husband is Filipino. Just ensure that the property has a clean title and updated realty tax.

[@jamesortega8681]

im not sure about what you said what i know is if you are a foreign wife your name will be on the title as the wife BUT if your husband passes away for any reason the property will be passed on to his filipino relatives and not you even if youre the wife. or if you guys decide to sell the property your husbands signature is the only signature required to transfer it.

[@jackspider9920]

In that case, a foreigner by way of an exception under the Philippine Constitution can own a parcel of land through succession..

[@jamesortega8681]

@@jackspider9920 im not aware of any exception, if they will bear a child and the dad passes away the property will go to their filipino child and the foreign wife will not inherit any part of the land. one way to help her parents is if they sign an agreement with her husband giving him an interest free loan which her husband will use to buy the land and that they may collect the loan at any point and that if the husband is not able to pay the loan then he must sell the property as the first option to be able to pat the loan, and that her parents names will be annotated in the title as creditors of the husband and any payments made for the sale of the property must be paid directly to her parents.. and then the foreign wife can put the actual house/improvement in her name(in the tax declaration) as an added protection signing an agreement that he cannot evict her from his land unless he pays the loan from her parents in full. im not a lawyer but thats how id do it.

[@sallysuay809]

Jonathan accent is like Italian but he's Filipino right?

[@SusieinthePhilippines]

I think it's Hungarian accent 😊 we have a mixed accent

[@nelsonlomod9601]

Foreigners may not be able to buy but they can lease long term and treat the property as if its their own

[@samueltiujr8539]

I mean d Land amortization tax per year

[@lopi5175]

hi susie and Jonathan. I have been an avid follower of your page for maybe almost a year already. I enjoyed watching your clips. anyway, there is a road that susie's parents, despite being foreigners, can validly purchase land in Philippines. Legally.

[@JosephSolisAlcaydeAlberici]

This is the reason why the Philippine Constitution needs to be amended so that foreigners who have the money and know-how can buy real properties legally and marrying Filipino citizens as a form of circumvention to the foreign land ownership ban will become unnecessary because they cannot recoup their hard-earned investments if their marriages go downhill like divorce.

[@samueltiujr8539]

Teach u, let your hubby buy d land in his name but u give d TORRENS LAND TITLE CERTIFICATE TO YOUR PARENTS, your hubby cant sell it

[@samueltiujr8539]

That's d way some foreigner ask me a way, every year d land tax is computed in d assessor's office of where d land is bought

[@juvelagahit7871]

Since you are Married with Jonathan then you can buy land as much as you can, and all of that would be your conjugal property. And i suggest if you like travel to Toril DAVAO Del Sur Somewhere in Southern Mindanao the place is cool and the Land is maybe quite cheaper compare to other places.

It's really nice the Lucban city.

[@albarba472]

You can buy a land under the name of your husband and you, but see to it that it's not prone to typhoon or calamities. Anyway you can choose so many land for sale.

[@pinoyhawaiifarmer8270]

Since you are married to a Filipino, apply for a Filipino citizenship by NATURALIZATION.

[@Kokonokasnagy]

Foreigners can`t purchase land in the Philippines but can legally own a residence. Like my husband he is also Magyar :) from Hungary we bought a condominium he owned our unit as long as 50 to 60% part own by the Filipino which is me. Goodluck!

[@drcldiao2]

Not allowing foreigners to own lands is a crazy law. But that is what it is unless the chacha or constitutional amendment will pass. But you are married to a Filipino citizen. So you can apply for Filipino citizenship, and your parents can buy land in your name. But for the time being, they can buy lands thru your husband's name until you get your Filipino citizenship. So there are ways to get around this law.

[@NeoKrypton21]

One of the most liked in Lucban is the 'Longaniza' and the 'Budin'(Cassava Cake Lucban Version). I hope you have tried it as well. hehe

No but you can buy a condo.

[@infour44]

I’d love a plot and some rainforest land there but the regulations are designed to stop foreign speculators ( which I fully agree with )

[@AngryKittens]

I agree, take it slow. Land is expensive, so once you buy it, it's pretty much permanent (or at least hard to sell). You need to make sure the location fits all your needs and there are no bad surprises. Things like good water source, power connections, fiber-optic internet availability, closest hospital, closest gas station, closest grocery/mall, closest major city, road conditions, water drainage/flood risks, safety from natural risks like landslides or volcanoes (!), even the neighbors you will have. These matter quite a lot. Some of them are even more important than the main things people usually think of, like the view, the price, or nearby nice places.

[@hadjiamida9226]

Susie you live in the Cabanatuan city Northern part of Luzon so i wonder why are you chosen Lucban Quezon province souther part of Luzon so very Far for Nueva Ecija? 🤔 i hope you choose Bulacan province or Valenzuela city par of NCR

[@engr.reallan]

Not sure if it is effective, since we were child that time. Up to this day, I've never tried to eat it again, since yellow bananas are always available.

[@teodoroquindara7583]

Please consult the Philippine Retirement Administration/Authority. Its the office that supports local or foreign people who would like to retire in the Philippines. But if you are buying land for business, its a different story. However, if you purchase the land under your name and your husband, who is a Filipino, I think there will be no problem.

[@user-xy8ol7sj8v]

My friend/neighbor here in USA is going home in Puerto Princessa Palawan in August 21. She has plenty of land and she is thinking of selling some because all her children are American Citizens and not interested to live in the Philippines. Her Filipino family back in the Philippines aren't farmers and has no interest of working in the farm. She will leave some for herself because she will be living in the Philippines for the rest of her life. It must be a good farm land because I know her very well in all her choices. She's a good woman at the age of 70 years old.

[@glennsergio]

[@chinawise]

I think you’re a Filipino citizen by way of your Filipino husband so there’s no problem!! You can buy land for your Hungarian parents , your money or your parent’s money on your behalf. Do whatever you want with the land - build a house, raised animals and grow vegetables and fruit trees or build a fishpond if it’s in a rural scene or any other business that serves the interest of retiring lives of your parents. In the end , who will inherit that land and what’s in it including any improvements if not you and your husband and your future children!! 😁😁
