M.A.P. continues to push for the implementation of the M.A.P.’s Traffic and Transportation Recommendations that were submitted to the government on 27 August 2015 through a paper entitled “Traffic and Transportation Problems of Metro Manila: A Holistic Approach.”

3.1 HIGHWAY PATROL GROUP (HPG) DIRECTOR AWARD

On 5 May 2016, the M.A.P. was given the DIRECTOR HPG AWARD during the HPG’s 61st Anniversary Celebration at Camp Crame for the M.A.P.’s “invaluable support to the HPG which immensely contributed towards the accomplishment of the HPG’s mission in ensuring safety and security of all motorist and road users.”

(l-r) Philippine National Police (PNP) Police Chief Superintendent ARNOLD GUNNACAO, PNP Chief RICARDO MARQUEZ and M.A.P. Traffic, Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Governor-in-Charge EDDIE YAP

3.2 M.A.P. URGED THE DUTERTE ADMINISTRATION TO DECLARE TRAFFIC CRISIS IN MM

The M.A.P. urged the Duterte Administration to declare a Traffic Crisis and appoint a Traffic Czar in Metro Manila (MM) through its M.A.P. Statement entitled “MAP: declare Traffic Crisis, appoint Traffic Czar in MM”.

Page 7 of 64 The M.A.P. stressed that first and foremost, there must be an issuance of an Executive Order to declare that a transportation and traffic crisis exists in Metro Manila and, with the concurrence of Congress, secure emergency powers for the President to address the crisis by mobilizing all government resources and undertaking necessary measures unhampered by appointment, procurement, budgetary and Commission on Audit regulations during its pendency.

Then, there must be an appointment of a Traffic Czar with Cabinet rank in the person. The M.A.P. highly recommended former Secretary of DOTC and DPWH, Jose “Ping” de Jesus, to take overall full-time management and control with appropriate powers and authority delegated by the President to effect the earliest abatement of the crisis.

The Traffic Czar must expeditiously employ all available short-term measures to bring about the soonest relief, while implementing long-term infrastructure solutions. The M.A.P.’s holistic traffic improvement plan, while partially implemented by the Aquino Administration, still contain numerous short-term management and engineering measures that, when implemented, will bring significant positive improvement. Long-term infrastructure solutions, also contained therein, are designed for long-term sustainable improvement. The MAP stands ready to constructively engage the Traffic Czar.

3.3 MAY 18 DIALOGUE WITH MMDA

On 18 May 2016, members of the M.A.P. Traffic, Transportation and Infrastructure Committee had a Dialogue with the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Chair, Atty. EMERSON CARLOS, and an ocular of MMDA’s TRAFFIC CONTROL CENTER in order to push forward the M.A.P.’s recommendations to solve the traffic problems in MM.

In the Dialogue, the M.A.P. and the MMDA agreed to work on the following:

(a) Request Congress to provide more powers for MMDA so it can compel all LGUs in MM to cooperate with it and allow it to perform planning, monitoring, coordinating, and implementing functions, and to exercise regulatory and supervisory authority over delivery of metro-wide services

(b) Advocate for emergency powers for the Duterte Administration to enable the MMDA to abrogate LGU ordinances that hinder the performance of its mandate, particularly in clearing Mabuhay lanes and other alternate routes

(c) Implement short-term measures to lessen traffic, like designating a “pick up and drop off” point for school service vehicles in nearby malls, instead of the area within the schools, encourage the use of high occupancy vehicles (HOV), construction of modular steel bridge along major roads like Ortigas, increasing sidewalk width of areas along EDSA (e.g, the Guadalupe area)

(d) Encourage DPWH and DOTC to work more closely with MMDA

3.4 Continue pushing for the implementation of the M.A.P. Recommendations in Solving the Traffic and Transportation Problems in Metro Manila (MM)

Short-term

3.4.1 Appoint a Traffic Czar to show who is in charge and take overall charge of all matters related to or affecting traffic and road management (implemented already) 3.4.2 Assign and deputize a specially-trained HPG within the PNP to enforce traffic rules and impose order on the chaotic traffic (implemented already) 3.4.3 Direct the Traffic Czar to introduce road engineering refinements such as bus lane delineators on EDSA and other major national roads to increase their efficiency and optimize limited roadspace (implemented already) 3.4.4 Fast-track the upgrade and capacity expansion of the MRT3 3.4.5 Upgrade into expressways the existing major national roads (e.g., EDSA, C5, Roxas Blvd., Diosdado Macapagal Ave., Katipunan, Commonwealth, Buendia, Lawton Ave. in West Fort Bonifacio, Kalayaan Ave., Shaw Blvd., Ortigas Ave., E. Rodriguez, Ramon Magsaysay, Roosevelt, Quezon Ave. and Bonifacio Road in QC) 3.4.6 Improve the resiliency of all national major and radial roads against floods 3.4.7 Direct the use of fast construction methods to eliminate traffic-disrupting intersections on major roads 3.4.8 Direct a campaign for private vehicle high occupancy practices

Long-term

3.4.9. Build new bridges across River. There is over-convergence of vehicles during rush hours on the few bridges, particularly at EDSA and C5, to cross the Pasig River. Again, using prefabricated steel bridges for fast completion, construction of the long missing C-3 bridge link from Makati to Mandaluyong and another to link Bonifacio Global City to an appropriate location in Capitolyo, will greatly disperse vehicular traffic to relief congestion.

Page 9 of 64 3.4.10.Resolve issues and fast track other mass transit systems

3.4.10.1 Resolve all issues related to the linking of MRT3 to LRT1 and the implementation of the LRT1 extension to ;

3.4.10.2 Roll out the LRT2 extension line from Santolan, Marikina to Masinag Market with an intermodal terminus station for convenient and safe interconnection with other modes of transport, and provide a park-and- ride facility to encourage commuters to take public transit instead of driving their cars into the city;

3.4.10.3 Quickly decide on and rollout an appropriate surface mass transit system to complement the MRT3 on EDSA. The government must choose the most appropriate transit option among many, such as Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), long-bus train, large capacity articulated city commuter buses or rail tram.

3.4.10.4 Fast track implementation of the MM north and south commuter rail, including the provision of city intermodal terminals and at outlying towns and cities as a means to promote the development of satellite towns and cities to decongest MM. Include park-and-ride facility to encourage motorists to use public transit.

3.4.10.5 Connect major commercial and residential developments to mass transit systems

3.4.11 Require adherence to best practices for mixed-use property development

3.4.12 Issue an E. O. directing the planning of a high-capacity subway system under the entire length of EDSA

3.4.13 Direct the filing of a legislative bill to restructure governance of MM - An elected Governor who shall, by law rather than forbearance of the city mayors, be vested with authority over matters such as road and traffic management, flood control, urban planning and development, particularly large-scale mixed-use land developments.

 Developments: Donation to HPG: In response to request of former Executive Secretary Almendras, M.A.P donated in 2015 vitally needed gear to assist HPG do its job properly with the following items: 200 pcs. Each of heavy duty ponchos, rubber boots, reflectorized traffic hand gloves, face mask with replaceable filter; re-chargeable LED flashlights and 6 units of Canon digital cameras. The M.A.P Board approved 50% of the total cost and the balance was donated by M.A.P. Governors Perry Pe, Abet Villarosa, members Johnson Tan and Mr. Eddie Yap.

3.4.14 TTIC Chair Eddie Yap has advanced and explained M.A.P.’s plan at various fora, including TV, radio, meetings with government officials and a Senate committee hearing co-chaired by Senators JV Ejercito and Bam Aquino. Mr. Yap continues to monitor developments and participate in relevant fora to push for the implementation of M.A.P.’s recommendations.

Page 10 of 64 4. VOTER EDUCATION

4.1 As one of its advocacy programs, the M.A.P. released the circular on the “Scorecard for Presidentiables and other Candidates, a Voter Education Project of MAP.”

5. “PiliPinas 2016 Presidential Debates” spearheaded by COMELEC

5.1 The M.A.P. was a partner for the COMELEC-spearheaded “PiliPinas 2016 Presidential Debates.” There were three debates among the presidential candidates and one debate among the vice presidential candidates which were aired from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM on the following dates:

5.1.1 February 21 “PiliPinas 2016 Presidential Debate in Mindanao” at the Capitol University, Cagayan de Oro - Hosts: GMA 7 and INQUIRER 5.1.2 March 20 (Sunday) “PiliPinas 2016 Presidential Debate in the Visayas” at the University of Philippines –Cebu – Hosts: TV5 and PHILIPPINE STAR 5.1.3 April 10 (Sunday) “PiliPinas 2016 Vice Presidential Debate in Metro Manila” at the University of Sto.

7. “AMBISYON NATIN 2040” AND LONG-TERM DEVELOPMENT PLAN

7.1 The M.A.P. National Issues Committee Core Group members attended the May 6 Roundtable Discussion with former Socioeconomic Planning Secretary and NEDA Director-General EMMANUEL “Manny” F. ESGUERRA on “AmBisyon Natin 2040” which was organized by M.A.P., MBC and NCC.

7.2 The M.A.P. agreed to work with NEDA for the conversion of the “AmBisyon Natin 2040” into specific goals, and for the Long-Term Development Plan for the Philippines which the country certainly needs and which should be followed by national leaders.

7.3 The “AmBisyon Natin 2040” has the following vision:

“In 2040, we will all enjoy a stable and comfortable lifestyle, secure in the knowledge that we have enough for our daily needs and unexpected expenses, that we can plan and prepare for our own and our children’s futures. Our families live together in a place of our own, yet we have the freedom to go where we desire, protected and enabled by a clean, efficient, and fair government.”

Page 12 of 64 7.4 The Filipino 2040 or AmBisyon Natin 2040 is an evidence-based product of nationwide consultations as well as existing data and targets, such as the Philippine Development Plan, the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A nationwide survey and consultation had already started with another group doing technical work on various topics, themes that are amenable to policy change like health, education, environment, innovation and other social issues. The plan will be for a period of 25 years since it will take several years and administrations to achieve a “modern nation” by sustaining economic progress that has been achieved in the last three to five years of over 6% average annual growth rate.

8. M.A.P. INPUTS TO THE ECONOMIC AGENDA FOR THE FIRST 100 DAYS OF THE NEW ADMINISTRATION

One of M.A.P.’s priority programs for 2016 was to submit proposals for the Economic Agenda for the First 100 Days of the New President/Administration.

The M.A.P. agreed to request the Duterte Administration to address the following in its first 100 days:

8.1 Certify to Congress as urgent the passage of the following bills:

8.1.1 Traffic Crisis Bill. Issue an Executive Order (EO) to declare that a transportation and traffic crisis exists in Metro Manila and, with the concurrence of Congress, secure emergency powers for the President to address the crisis by mobilizing all government resources and undertaking necessary measures unhampered by appointment, procurement, budgetary and Commission on Audit regulations during its pendency.

8.1.2 Freedom of Information (FOI) Bill. While the Congress finally deliberates on this long-awaited bill, may we suggest in the meantime that an EO be issued to facilitate the implementation of the major elements in the bill.

8.1.3 Amendments to the Anti-Money Laundering Act that will allow the Philippines to fully comply with the requirements of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF)

8.1.4 Amendments to Bank Secrecy Law that will equip the government with enough power to go after criminal elements hiding behind the present law.

8.1.5 Amendments to the Build-operate-and-transfer (BOT) Law that will facilitate the implementation of the long-delayed major Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects

8.1.6 Amendments to the Constitution to remove the restrictive economic provisions or a bill to call for a Constitutional Convention to amend the Constitution for ratification in a plebiscite to be called not later than May 2019.

8.2 Create a high-level group that will review and make recommendations within 100 days to fast-track the process of implementing and awarding PPP projects, particularly those pertaining to infrastructure, transportation, energy and water.

Page 13 of 64 8.3 Create a high-level working committee that will review and recommend within 100 days on how to make the tax system simpler to administer, fairer to taxpayers and more attractive to investors.

8.4 Issue an EO mandating all concerned agencies to fast-track the development of international airports, particularly those that have already been identified and started earlier, and decide on the location of a new international airport within 100 days.

8.5 Issue an EO requiring all National Government Agencies (NGAs) and Local Government Units (LGUs) to submit within the first 100 days their strategic roadmaps and scorecards that are aligned to your Administration’s 10-point economic agenda and priorities. We understand that there are already more than 50 NGAs and LGUs who have crafted their roadmaps and scorecards and that most of the more than 100 government-owned and controlled corporations (GOCCs) have already formalized theirs. NEDA’s recently- crafted “AmBisyon Natin 2040” is a good guide in long-term development planning across many future Administrations. It is a good one as it is based on aspiration survey conducted among the people to determine what they want for themselves and the country.

8.6 Issue an EO mandating all NGAs and LGUs to review PPP contracts that are tied up in major litigations and/or in the process of arbitration with the objective of resolving these in the soonest time possible. Honoring and upholding the sanctity of valid contracts will go a long way in promoting investments.

8.7 Issue an EO to clean the Philippines. Outside of ridding the country of drug lords and drug pushers, corrupt officials and other criminal elements, we need to clean our surroundings of dirt, debris, garbage and unsightliness. A simple requirement for all households and offices to provide rubbish bins everywhere and penalizing littering will go a long way in cleaning up the country.

8.8 Set a deadline of 12 months within which to implement less-paper transactions and reduced red tape in all government offices, most specially in the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) and the Bureau of Customs (BOC), and give the DICT (Department of Information and Communications Technology) full authority over all government computerized services to ensure holistic development of a bureaucracy-wide working system.

8.9 Instruct the Department of Transportation to submit within 100 days its proposed short-, medium- and long-term solutions to the traffic and transportation problems of Metro Manila, with EDSA as the priority target.

8.10 Organize a high-level task force - - - composed of National Anti-Poverty Commission (NAPC), Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR), Department of Agriculture (DA), Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and civil society - - - to deliberate on the issues of poverty, food security and countryside development and to submit its recommendations within 100 days.

8.11 Issue an EO that will establish a National Health Information System within 12 months for better provision and monitoring of basic health services to all citizens, and provide that PhilHealth will cover all costs of medical treatment for those who cannot afford it

Page 14 of 64 8.12 Urge the convening of the Oversight Committee to review and audit the implementation of the Tourism Act of 2009. The Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) for the Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (TIEZA), which should implement the grant of incentives to tourism investments, should be finalized soonest.

MEMBER BENEFITS

9. ENABLING M.A.P. MEMBERS TO APPLY FOR NBI CLEARANCE DURING M.A.P. GMMs

9.1 As part of its continuing efforts to enhance Member Benefits, the M.A.P. has partnered with the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) to enable M.A.P. members to get their NBI clearances through an on-site processing.

9.2 Facilitating the release of NBI clearances will certainly help improve the ease of doing business in the Philippines.

9.3 The NBI sent a satellite team to the March 29 M.A.P. GMM to process applications of M.A.P. members for NBI clearance. The NBI clearances were released on the same day for those “WITHOUT HITS”. The clearances of those applicants “WITH HITS” were subjected to verification and released through the M.A.P. Secretariat after one week.

9.4 The M.A.P. will continue inviting the NBI satellite team to the subsequent M.A.P. GMMs.
