About the PRA<\/em><\/p>\n

The Philippine Retirement Authority is a government-owned and controlled corporation created by virtue of Executive Order (E.O.) No. 1037, signed by former President Ferdinand E. Marcos on July 4, 1985. Its mandate is to attract foreign nationals and former Filipino citizens to invest, reside, and retire in the Philippines with the end-view of accelerating the socio-economic development of the country. It also looks to contribute to the country\u2019s foreign currency reserve and provide retirees with the best quality of life in the most attractive package possible.<\/p>\n

From being under the control of the Office of the President, it has since gone under the supervision of the Department of Trade and Industry\u2019s Board of Investments (E.O. No. 26, s. 2001). Today, the PRA is an attached agency of the Department of Tourism via the Tourism Act of 2009 (Republic Act No. 9593).<\/p>\n

You can find their office at the 29th<\/sup> Floor, Citibank Tower, 8741 Paseo De Roxas St., Makati City.<\/p>\n
