Time Period: 1800-present.
Content: Land holders’ and renters’ names, taxes and rent paid, dates of deeds, residence, land descriptions, fathers’ names and sometimes names of several generations of ancestors; date and mode of land acquisition (from a parent or grandparent, by dowry, or division).

Philippine land records are in government departments, municipal archives, and sometimes other offices, such as:
- Archives Division, Record Management and Archives Office

- Title companies.
The FamilySearch Library has filmed many land records from each province and indexes to the Manila Gazette that deal with land transactions.
