The Corinthian easement has become an early test case for the ARROW Act.

The new law, enacted by the 20th Congress and signed by President Ferdinande Marcos Jr on September 12, streamlines acquisition processes, mandates fair compensation, and bars temporary restraining orders (TROs) from delaying government projects. 

The latter (TROs) has become a thorn in the side of any public infrastructure project in the Asian country, and has become the biggest cause of delay even for key projects of national significance.

It also expands coverage to public-private partnerships (PPPs), foreign-assisted initiatives, and utilities relocation.
