Marcos signs ARROW ActPresident Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on September 12 signed Republic Act 12289, known as the Accelerated and Reformed Right-of-Way (ARROW) Act. Officials described the law as a long-needed fix to one of the country’s most persistent bottlenecks. By cutting delays and ensuring fair compensation, the ARROW Act is expected to lower costs, attract investors, and bring projects to completion faster. The law requires transparency in compensation, closer coordination with local governments, and faster dispute resolution to prevent fresh bottlenecks. If implemented well, the ARROW Act could turn long-delayed blueprints into the infrastructure that people see and use every day.
