In the Philippines, the movie industry continues to boom, as "movie going" is as popular as ever. This is probably because going to the movies is one of the cheapest forms of entertainment as tickets cost about P45. Apart from that, the increasing production of foreign film especially American films each year as well as the increasing popularity of American films among moviegoers in the Philippines has ... attributed to the growth of the industry. American films with themes of romance, action-adventure and science fiction are hot favorites in the Philippines.

The 1987 Constitution bans foreigners from owning land in the Philippines. The Investors' Lease Act (R.A. 7652, 1994) allows foreign companies investing in the Philippines to lease land for 50 years, renewable once for another 25 years, for a maximum 75 years. Deeds of ownership are difficult to establish, poorly reported, and poorly regulated. Deeds are full of ambiguities, which make it difficult to establish clear ownership. The court system is not able to settle cases in a timely manner.
