JICA selected and dispatched a study team from March to August, 2009. The team held discussions with the officials concerned of the Government of the Philippines, and conducted field surveys at the study area. After the team returned to Japan, further studies were made. As this result, the present report was finalized. I hope that this report will contribute to the promotion of the project and to the enhancement of friendly relations between our two countries. Finally, I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the officials concerned of the Government of the Philippines for their close cooperation extended to the survey. October, 2009 TOSHIYUKI KUROYANAGI Director General Japan International Cooperation Agency Letter of Submittal Dear Sir, We are pleased to submit to you the report on“The Preparatory Survey on the Project for Road Enhancement and Asset Preservation Management Program (REAPMP) in the Republic of the Philippines”. The report compiled all findings and recommendations obtained through the survey from March 2009 to September 2009 conducted by Nippon Koei Co. Ltd. in accordance with the contract with Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). The objectives of the survey are to study the road operation and maintenance systems and select sub-programs for REAPMP to be requested by GOP for Japanese ODA. REAPMP is comprised of four components; road improvement (UI) project, long-term performance based maintenance (LTPBM) project, preventive maintenance programs and institutional capacity development of Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH). The Survey team concluded that REAPMP will be technically and economically feasible and acceptable from the environmental aspects. Its implementation will contribute to the enhancement of economic development of the Republic of the Philippines. Therefore, the Survey team recommends earlier implementation of the program. We wish to express our sincere gratitude to your agency, including the JICA experts concerned, and also wish to express our deep appreciation to the government of the Philippines, especially the counterpart agencies of the Department of Works and Highways (DPWH) for their close cooperation and assistance extended to us during the survey. We hope this report will contribute to the development of the Republic of the Philippines.
