MANILA, Philippines — Senate President Francis Escudero is confident that a new law which allows foreign investors to lease private land for up to 99 years woll make the country look more like an ideal investment destination.

This law will go a long way in addressing these concerns," Escudero, an author of the law, said in a statement on Saturday.
