2 Public-Private Partnership in the Philippines

The 1987 Philippine Constitution explicitly acknowledges the critical role that the private sector plays in the development agenda of the country. In this context, the Philippine Public- Private Partnership (PPP) Program was forged as a fl agship program for development under the Aquino Administration.

Its vision is to accelerate the country’s infrastructure development agenda that will contribute to the country’s goals of attaining inclusive growth for all Filipinos.

Guided by the principles of transparency, accountability, and good governance, the Program will engage the private sector as vital partners who can bankroll critical infrastructure projects that will deliver much needed services for its growing populace.

Under the hallmark of good governance, the Philippine government guarantees that the private sector will be able to do business in an environment that nurtures fair and transparent transactions. Government ensures that the interests of both the private sector and its citizens are balanced, where policies and procedures are continually enhanced.

The robust pipeline of PPP projects is a product of the government’s continuing efforts to deliver viable and well-structured proposals that will attract investors to bring their business to the Philippines.

3 What is Public-Private Partnership?

Public-Private Partnership (PPP) can be broadly defined as a contractual agreement between the Government and a private firm targeted towards financing, designing, constructing and operating infrastructure facilities and services that were traditionally provided by the public sector. It embodies optimal risk allocation between the parties – minimizing cost while realizing project developmental objectives. Thus, the project is to be structured in such a way that the private sector gets a reasonable rate of return on its investment.

PPP efficiency gains in delivering services to the public. Most importantly, PPP emphasizes Value for Money – focusing on reduced costs, better risk allocation, innovation, faster implementation and improved services.

4 The Public-Private Partnership Center of the Philippines

By virtue of Executive Order No. 8, series of 2010, and as amended by Executive Order No. 136, series of 2013, signed last May 28, 2013, the Public- Private Partnership (PPP) Center functions as the central coordinating and monitoring agency for all PPP projects in the Philippines. Together with the various implementing agencies (IAs), the Center champions the Program and enables them to undertake well-structured PPP projects by capacitating them in the vital areas of project preparation, implementation, and monitoring. The Center provides technical advisory services to these IAs as they go through the entire project cycle to ensure that projects and processes are bankable, transparent, and advances public interest.

The Center also manages a funding mechanism known as the Project Development and Monitoring Facility (PDMF) that allows IAs access to world- class consulting fi rms who will be tasked to provide its expertise in pre- investment and investment requirements. It also advocates policy reforms to improve the legal and regulatory frameworks governing the PPP Program in order to maximize the great potentials of these infrastructure and development projects in the country and to level the playing fi eld among interested investors.
