GRANTING PHILIPPINE CITIZENSHIP TO WANG LIDUAN 
EXPLANATORY NOTE 
A Chinese national who have been residing in the Philippines for three decades now who are deemed 
to be highly qualified as development investors because their hearts are inclined towards this country.  
Mr. WANG LIDUAN, a Chinese National from Fujian, Republic of China, has chosen to move to the 
Philippines in 1991and has established good relations with his Filipino partners as well as their 
employees.  Mr. Liduan, has expressed his ardent desire to become a Filipino citizen and has learned 
to embrace and practice Filipino culture. In fact, all of their children studied their education in the 
Philippines. 
At the height of the Asian Financial Crisis, while the rest of the Southeast Asian countries were still 
experiencing the drawbacks of the crisis and the Philippines was just surviving a political turmoil, the 
associate of Mr. Wang Liduan, continued to venture into economic investments development in the 
country worth millions and billions of pesos, such as the Sung Yueh Construction in 2003; the MSK 
Group in 2005-2010; and the Weishin Subic Bay Corporation in 2007. The investments focused on 
infrastructure projects that created buildings and houses for the Filipino people.   
Also, Mr. Liduan, is a member of the Board of Directors of Topmarket Property Development and 
Management Inc., is formerly a subsidiary company of A.M Oreta and Company (AMOCO) but is 
now under a new management. It is one of the top AAA builders in the country, with over 65 years of 
experience in engineering and construction of well-known structures, landmarks and institutions. 
Among these are some of the country’s world class such as The manila Peninsula, Intercontinental 
Hotel, The Hilton and the Samal Island Resort. One of its latest projects is the 3 Forty Fifth 
Residences located at Indo China Dr. Alabang Muntinlupa. 
It must be noted that the associate development investors are prime advocates of the country’s green 
recovery program aimed at restoring our forest cover, protecting our endemic species, and ensuring 
environmental protection and climate change adaptation. This was proven by their support during the: 
a) 2017 LMP National Roll-Out of the Training Workshop on the Formulation of Local Climate
Change Action Plan (LCCAP) in the Philippines; b) Federalism Malasakit at Pagbabago (under the
League of Municipalities of the Philippines, Office of the 2nd District of Albay, Local Climate Change
Adaptation for Development (LCCAD) in collaboration with the Department of the Interior and Local
Government (DILG), Climate Change Commission (CCC), Philippine Information Agency (PIA), and

the University of the Philippines Resilience Institute (UPRI), and the City Government of Legazpi; 
and c) The regional consultation on the creation of the Department of Disaster Resilience (DDR) of 
the 16 regions in the country under the leadership of the Office of the 2nd District of Albay- Local 
Climate Change Adaptation for Development in collaboration with the Office of Civil Defense 
(OCD). Their advocacy lies in the ability of the national and local governments to sustainably manage 
our natural resources and better environmental governance with support from the private sector. The 
initiative is to empower our communities to come together and cooperate. Mr. WANG has been 
instrumental in providing direction and support on Coffee Heritage Project (CHP)’s intensive research 
on the impacts of climate change in coffee farms and production. Beyond Mr. WANG’s inputs on 
establishing organizational policy, his immense support on CHP’s different undertakings such as, 
“The Heirloom Barako Coffee Project”, participation in the AVPA PARIS International Coffee 
Competition, and numerous sustainability projects with indigenous peoples in different communities 
from the Cordilleras to Bangsamoro region is nothing less than, unprecedented 
Amidst the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic, and while other foreign investors are abandoning 
the Philippines, the loyal brothers, through their companies continued and increased their efforts in 
assisting the communities where they operate. Such efforts include: a) repair, beautification, 
installation of solar lights in the abandoned Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Villas that 
generated jobs for residents of Subic and other provinces; b) donated laptops to interns of the 
Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Training Institute (ATI) for their online classes; c) through 
the MSK Group Work Inc. donated numerous face masks to the City of Olongapo and other LGUs; d) 
donated 150 electric fans to the quarantine and isolation facilities of the PNP front liners who were 
victims of COVID -19; e) donated One hundred Fifty thousand Pesos to the New Cabalan National 
High School; f) constructed a covered court and school fences in Pastolan Elementary School; and  g) 
donated 19 vehicles (SUVs/trucks) for maintenance of peace, security and safety of the Subic Bay 
Freeport Zone and neighbors. 
Mr. Wang Liduan clearly possesses character traits of a true Filipino: loving, generous, respectful, 
ethical, loyal, optimistic, persevering and eager to help communities, among others. 
Having invested billions of pesos to this country, providing livelihood and jobs to our fellow Filipinos 
and having shown dedication, loyalty, and love to our beloved country and its people, the associate 
brothers would be of great addition to the Philippines and the Filipino community. It is high time for 
the Philippines to show how much we value WANG LIDUAN’s, contributions by granting unto them 
Filipino citizenships by virtue of this Legislative Naturalization. 
In view of the foregoing, the approval of this measure is urgently sought.
