2. PwC – MAP Survey on “THE FUTURE OF BUSINESS: Sustainability, Development, Impact” for the September 10 MAP International CEO Conference 2019
2.1 The MAP and the PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) Philippines/Isla Lipana & Co. conducted a CEO Survey for the September 10 MAP International CEO Conference 2019, which was entitled “THE FUTURE OF BUSINESS: Sustainability, Development, Impact.” The Survey was done via an online questionnaire as well as field interviews.
2.2 The survey was the fifth of a series of annual CEO Surveys in the Philippines conducted by the MAP Conference’s KNOWLEDGE PARTNER, ISLA LIPANA & CO., a member firm of PwC, and was envisioned to benchmark the changes in how CEOs think, react and innovate.
2.3 MAP and PwC provided insights and jumpstart discussions that will help in expanding the arsenal of strategies and options available for business leaders to survive the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
2.4 Eighty percent (80%) of the CEOs expect to change their production/service model in the next three to five years to promote more sustainable practices. This shift in focus towards sustainability surfaced as Isla Lipana & Co./PwC Philippines (PwC), in the PwC MAP 2019 CEO Survey, asked the CEOs about their views on sustainability and the changes that they need to make to address the issues that we are facing.
2.5 The survey, conducted by PwC for the 17th MAP (Management Association of the Philippines) International CEO Conference that will be held on 10 September 2019 at the Makati Shangri-La Hotel, reflects the conference’s theme, “The Future of Business: Sustainability. Development. Impact.” MAP President Riza Mantaring says that the conference “focuses on the playing ground for competitiveness and sustainability in the future, which is in the arena of doing good, not just looking good; in purpose, not just profits; in driving social change, not just shareholder value.”
2.6 Atty. Alexander Cabrera, PwC Philippines’ Chair and Senior Partner, is optimistic as the number of CEOs who use sustainable practices in the companies is on the rise. “While most are still using the traditional practices related to energy use and recycling, a good number have plans of shifting to a circular business model.” As profitability and sustainability are no longer mutually exclusive, he adds, “A profitable business is not necessarily good business if it does not lead to ‘good’ growth, which is sustainable and empathetic.”
2.7 While majority of the CEOs fully support sustainable business practices, they identified high transition costs, inadequate technology, and economic viability as the main factors that are preventing them from fully adopting sustainable practices. Benjamin Azada, PwC Philippines’ Consulting Managing Principal, admits: “Transitioning to a circular model brings in costs related to management, research and development, and infrastructure. Our business leaders, however, should realize that the circular economy is a long-term strategy that helps address the serious environmental and business risks that we are facing.”
2.8 “We thank the 127 CEOs who have shared their insights with us,” says Atty. Cabrera. He concludes, “Sustainability should be embedded in all of our business activities and decisions.”

8. UPDATED MAP POLICY IN ADDRESSING NATIONAL ISSUES
8.1 At its July 24, 2019 meeting, the MAP Board approved the Revised MAP Policy in Addressing National Issues.
8.2 Except in situations where the Board deems it necessary to make a statement, the Board should still have that leeway if in its judgment it is important to do so. A majority vote of the Board is needed for this purpose.
8.3 MAP should minimize being involved in political issues (especially the controversial ones), except those that have direct substantial impact on business.
8.4 The Board agreed that all future Committee Chairs and Vice Chairs should always be reminded that once the MAP Board makes a decision, they should consider it as the position of the MAP as an organization. Even if they have a different opinion, they should always respect the decision of the MAP Board.
8.5 Here below is the Revised MAP Policy in Addressing National Issues:
1. DETERMINATION OF NATIONAL ISSUES
1.1. MAP should take proactive stance (instead of reactive). Page 24 of 63
1.2. MAP should focus on issues related to management excellence and good governance. MAP should not get involved in other issues, especially partisan political issues.
1.3. MAP should select important issues that have DIRECT and SUBSTANTIAL impact on business and do one or both of the following: 1.3.1. raise to government’s attention 1.3.2. monitor until final resolution
1.4. MAP should limit issues to those where changes could be achieved.
1.5. If the chosen issue DIRECTLY affects a particular industry, the MAP will NOT issue a Statement UNLESS the concerned industry ARTICULATES OR HAVE ARTICULATED its own position THROUGH A PUBLIC STATEMENT.”
1.6. MAP should work with other Philippine Business Groups (PBGs) and Joint Foreign Chambers (JFCs) in urging Congress to pass important legislation. If it is necessary to be represented in a hearing in Congress, the MAP should send a member who is very knowledgeable on the subject.
1.7. In addressing national issues, MAP has two options: 1.7.1. Take a Stand/Position through a Statement, News Release or Other Means 1.7.2. Do not take a position as an organization and be silent on the issue. (Members could articulate their individual stands if they want to).
2. PROCESS
2.1 Planning
2.1.1 Any national issue should be referred to the National Issues Committee (NIC) for study/evaluation. The recommendation of the NIC, if any, will then be presented to the MAP Board for approval. 2.1.2 It will be up to the NIC if a Quick Survey should be conducted among members to determine the general sentiment of the membership on a given issue. However, prior to the conduct of the survey, the MAP Board should be advised by the NIC. 2.1.3 The NIC should involve other committees, if necessary. 2.1.4 The NIC should present to the Board the proposed Statement for approval.
2.2 Execution
2.2.1 The NIC should review all MAP statements on issues which shall be submitted to Board for approval 2.2.2 If issue is politically or socially sensitive, the Board may survey the membership. 2.2.3 The Board’s substantial changes on the recommended MAP statement, if any, should be discussed with the NIC before finalization of the statement. 2.2.4 The Board may disapprove the NIC recommendation. 2.2.5 Both the NIC and the Board must schedule special meetings to achieve timeliness in making statements. 2.2.6 Statements must contain positive action, including the role of MAP. 2.2.7 If MAP has to take a stand/position on a certain national issue within a very short period of time (i.e., within 48 hours), the 2/3 vote of the MAP Board of Governors --- with comments/recommendations from the Chair of the NIC, whenever possible --- will be implemented by the MAP Secretariat. 2.2.8 As much as possible, MAP should do its own thorough study and stand on a certain issue.
Page 25 of 63
2.2.9 If MAP is invited by other PBGs and JFCs to co-sign a particular statement, the NIC should meet to discuss thoroughly the given issue before making its recommendation to the MAP Board. 2.2.10 MAP should not endorse or nominate individuals for government positions. The MAP Board shall determine the final position of the MAP and the members are expected to act accordingly as MAP members and help promote the organization’s effectiveness in expressing its position on important and relevant issues.

MAP STATEMENTS
1. STATEMENTS/LETTERS MAP SIGNED/CO-SIGNED BY MAP IN 2019
1.1 MAP Statement on the Appointment of Sec. Benjamin Diokno as BSP Governor on March 5, 2019
“The Management Association of the Philippines (MAP) welcomes the appointment of Sec. BENJAMIN E. DIOKNO as the new Governor of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP).
We believe that his expertise as an economist and his extensive experience in the Executive Branch on fiscal policy and management will serve him well in his new job.
We fully support the BSP’s initiatives to maintain price and financial stability in support of sustained economic growth, a more efficient payments system as well as its efforts to further broaden financial inclusion.
We are confident that the BSP under Governor Diokno will continue to promote good governance and transparent policies in the financial system.”
1.2 Business Groups support measures to resolve water interruption as ordered by PRRD on March 26, 2019
“We welcome and fully support the directive of President Duterte to solve the water service disruption in the east zone concession within 150 days.
We are heartened by the fact that measures have been developed in consultation with and cooperation of all stakeholders, including government water agencies, regulators and the two private concessionaires. Page 48 of 63
Accordingly, we are encouraged and confident that these interim measures will adequately resolve the water shortage and bring relief to consumers in the shortest possible time.
For the longer term, the resoluteness manifested by the Duterte administration in undertaking solutions to ensure sustainable supply of raw water is most encouraging. In this regard, the private water concessionaires, being accountable for rendering water service to the public, should be allowed the option to provide raw water supply for their respective zones.
We fully realize this service disruption had greatly affected and inconvenienced millions of consumers in the affected concession zone in many ways and we wholeheartedly sympathize with them.
The contrite behavior of MWSS Administrator Reynaldo Velasco and the apology extended by Manila Water CEO Ferdinand dela Cruz are helpful steps in the right direction and we laud them for it. Beyond these, the concession framework and existing regulatory provisions provide accountability measures for both the concerned public and private parties.
While disappointment and anger are understandable reactions, we should recognize that the water service interruption is not a total failure of the system. It must be noted that water service in Metro Manila has vastly improved in almost two decades since the service was privatized. The volume of water saved from leakage is said to be equivalent to the output of a dam such that the great expense for constructing one in the past to cover that same volume was rendered unnecessary. Happily, gone are the waterless days of old. In fact, this privatization is being regarded as a good model before the international community for others to emulate.
Looking to the future, we also need to secure a secondary water source to address the growing needs of Metro Manila and its surrounding areas.
Many lessons can be learned from this unfortunate episode and, hopefully, they will be employed to further improve the service and avoid a recurrence in the future.”
1.3 Statement on Proposed Reforms for the Philippine Water Sector on April 22, 2019
“We, the following listed Philippine business groups and foreign chambers, strongly commiserate with and share the frustrations of millions of Filipinos who are experiencing hardships associated with the current water shortage in Metro Manila. The megacity’s overdependence on the sole Angat Dam for Metro Manila’s water supply requirements has proven to be folly, especially in the face of continued economic and population growth, climate change, and disaster risk. Despite 20 years of a largely successful water privatization – the gains of which we hope to preserve – today’s crisis is a direct result of the ambiguity of responsibility for developing and managing the country’s water resources. This ambiguity bespeaks of the poor and fragmented governance of the water sector in general over the past decade.
Thus we call on our leaders, especially those in the Executive and Congress, to prioritize Water Security and take immediate action, as follows:
Page 49 of 63
1. Fast-track the construction and development of new water sources for Metro Manila. To this end, we urge the government to develop new raw water sources in the immediate pipeline as projects of national significance and to fast-track their bureaucratic approvals by obtaining permits, in parallel rather than sequential order, while ensuring proper environmental and social safeguards are adequately put in place. Full implementation of the Ease of Doing Business Act would be very useful in this regard. We also call upon Manila Water to hasten completion of its Cardona Treatment Plant and other water sources. As a long-term solution, steps should already be taken to develop adequate raw water sources to meet the future needs of Metro Manila, including tapping the full potential of Laguna Lake, a vast and nearby water resource.
2. Introduce water conservation and promote water efficiency. This includes promotion and adoption of technologies and practices for more efficient water use (e.g. efficient water-consuming appliances, water reuse systems, substitute chemical-based cleaning technologies, and reduced wasting of water by agricultural, commercial, domestic, and industrial consumers). In addition, concessionaires may continue reducing non-revenue water losses and government may consider introducing demand- management policies, such as mandatory labeling requirements and minimum water efficiency standards for water-consuming appliances.
3. Develop a Water Security Masterplan for Metro Manila and the entire country based on sound science and strengthen the National Water Resources Board. With the various water requirements of the metropolis and the larger country across a variety of needs, it is necessary to approach water resource planning through the lens of the globally-recognized principle of Integrated Water Resource Management. To achieve this, governance over the water sector should be rethought. In the short term, via an executive order, the National Water Resources Board may be strengthened and given adequate resources. In this regard, we welcome the news that President Duterte has approved in principle a draft executive order that is being finalized for his signature. In the longer term, legislation should be passed (a) strengthening an apex body for the water sector to act as the single lead agency to oversee and coordinate overall policy and program implementation, (b) creating an independent regulator for water supply and sanitation to harmonize regulatory practices and standards, and (3) encouraging private sector participation in the management of water resources and the provision of water services. To shepherd these reforms, we urge the president to appoint a “Water Czar” who can focus on this task of bringing order to the currently directionless water sector.
4. Rehabilitating the country’s wetlands, water bodies, and supporting ecosystems. Besides continuing efforts to clean Manila Bay, this rehabilitation effort should be expanded to include other major water bodies that can serve as natural sources of water supply, storage, and power, such as Laguna Lake and the Agus and Pulangi rivers. Efforts must also be made to ensure watersheds and wetlands are revitalized and maintained, while putting an end to illegal land conversion around these natural systems, which severely reduces holding capacities of these vital water-capturing and water-holding systems.
Water is too crucial a matter to overlook. Action is needed now to ensure water security for Metro Manila and our country tomorrow.”
1.4 MAP urges Holistic Laguna Lake Rehabilitation for Water Security and Eco-Tourism on May 8, 2019
Page 50 of 63
“Water security and the environment are major concerns of the MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION OF THE PHILIPPINES (MAP).
It is for these reasons that MAP urges an immediate effort by the national government together with local government units and the private sector to clean, conserve, rejuvenate and preserve Laguna Lake and its watershed.
Laguna Lake is the largest freshwater lake in our country and among the largest in Southeast Asia. It is an ideal and logical source of potable water and has a vast potential for eco-tourism.
Unfortunately, the water quality of Laguna Lake has, despite sporadic efforts, continuously degenerated from neglect and wanton disregard for the lake's wellbeing much like other natural resources of our country.
We strongly applaud PRESIDENT RODRIGO ROA DUTERTE (PRRD) for seeing the despoilage of Boracay and exercising strong political will by taking draconian measures, including its temporary closure, to rehabilitate and save it from human overexploitation. Now we see the very rewarding positive results even after just a brief period.
We urge PRRD to take similar action and order a Save Laguna Lake action by issuing an Executive Order to direct all national and local government units and instrumentalities to immediately implement all existing laws, rules, regulations and directives to protect and rehabilitate Laguna Lake and the forest cover of its watershed in the surrounding hills and mountains.
The public must be warned that the government will strictly enforce existing laws that prohibit, under pain of penalty, the dumping of waste into the lake. Polluting industries, such as factories, fish culture, poultry and livestock farms, must be strictly regulated and restricted to a sustainable level.
Other sources of pollution must be prohibited, and these include the use of vessels powered by fossil fuels. Only vessels using clean energy, such as electric or natural gas, shall be allowed as is required in environmentally protective countries.
All development and structures must be banned within a no-build zone starting from its high water mark to within preferably no less than fifty meters, especially in populated areas, to allow space for public recreation and enjoyment of a national resource.
We urge PRRD to direct the national and local water boards to render and tap Laguna Lake as a dependable, inexhaustible and proximately-located source of raw water for Metro Manila and the lake's surrounding communities, with other sources such as dams serving a complementary role to ensure water security under all circumstances, including potentially catastrophic earthquakes. Further, that all resources, including funding from whatever source, be devoted for the said purpose.
Page 51 of 63
Necessarily, massive reforestation must be undertaken in the surrounding hills and mountains to enhance the productivity of the watershed. Ideally, indigenous wood species, fruit-bearing trees and bamboo should be utilized.
We also urge PRRD to direct the Department of Transportation to plan and implement a lake ferry transportation system to provide convenient, affordable and reliable connectivity between the towns and cities around the lake.
Further, for the Department of Tourism to plan, develop and implement eco- tourism projects to fully exploit the lake's potential, and for the Biodiversity Management Bureau (formerly Parks and Wildlife Bureau) to recommend public recreational parks for implementation and maintenance of the relevant agencies.
This Save Laguna Lake Movement must be participated, supported and sustained by all. Ideally, this Movement should be adopted by private corporations as among their primary social responsibility projects. Civil society, including all environment protection organizations, are stakeholders and must participate.
Lastly, let the Save Laguna Lake Movement be the model for the protection and rehabilitation of all our freshwater lakes, and replicated all over the country.”
1.5 Joint Statement of Support for Moderated Increase in Pay of Public-School Teachers and for Fiscal Prudence on June 19, 2019
“We, the undersigned business and professional organizations, believe that better education is a top national priority. We need it to make the Philippines and Filipinos more competitive, secure and productive. We recognize, appreciate, and value public school teachers as central to this goal, aside from being important leaders of our communities, including during election time. They deserve to be compensated better and given better training opportunities and tools, and we join other sectors in making that a goal.
In light of recent demands for an immediate P10,000 a month increase, however, we ask President Duterte and the teachers to phase this over time considering the following: 1. Fairness and equity of public school teachers’ pay compared to other civil servants, and the recent increases in their pay. 2. Fiscal affordability and sustainability, and the competing demands for other essential public expenditures. These include other parts of the education sector itself, the health sector, social spending such as Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT), and investments in hard infrastructure. All these are needed to lift our people out of poverty, broaden and enrich the middle where our school teachers belong.
3. The heavy economic and social effects, such as inflation, low growth, and unemployment, that go with spending beyond our means. This hits the poorest hardest.
On the issue of market competitiveness, in 2019, Teacher 1 (entry level salary grade 11) earned 58 percent more than their private school counterpart. An Associate Professor (salary grade 23) earned 109 percent more. According to the regional labor force survey, as early as 2016, public school teachers received on average 71 percent more than private school teachers nationally. This premium ranges anywhere from a low of 34 percent in Cordillera Autonomous Region to a high of 158 percent in the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao.
Page 52 of 63
Education Secretary Leonor Briones acknowledges salaries of public school teachers have "overtaken" those of private schools and debunks characterizations that they are "the most pitiful and lowest paid profession." This is especially so in rural areas as the salary of public school teachers is standard nationwide. Compared to private teachers’ pay which is determined by local cost of living in the area they are working.
These market comparisons are important grounding — to deviate markedly from such would precipitate demands of one group of public servants vs. whoever is the current highest in a wage spiral that could lead to fiscal unsustainability. It could even spill over to private pay demands and inflation pressures.
Raising the disparity in pay between public and private school teachers would further fuel the migration of private school teachers to public schools and exert financial pressures on private schools whose tuition fees are regulated by government. Where public school teachers are disadvantaged compared to private school teachers is in the lack of training opportunities and tools like books, school supplies, and computers. There is also a lack of teachers and classrooms, resulting in big classes spread over the day in “shifts”. These must be addressed to alleviate the burden of teachers and improve the quality of education.
On the macro impact on the fiscal sector, the P150 B annual cost of the salary increase is roughly 1 percent of GDP. To appreciate the magnitude of this, we note that the entire annual budget for the CCT program, which benefits 4.3 million households and promises to break inter-generational poverty, will cost less than half of this. The difficult-to-pass TRAIN 1 raised less than half of this.
There is no identified recurring source of funding for this salary increase. As such, it will raise the national government annual fiscal deficit from 3 percent to 4 percent of GDP. The last time our fiscal deficit to GDP breached 4 percent was in 2002 and 2003, driving the country's credit ratings down by two rungs. This led to higher borrowing cost to both government and private sectors, and lower investments. If the gains in managing our economy recently affirmed by the upgrade to just below “A” are put at risk, our public school teachers will also suffer.
There are numerous examples of economic collapse that trace to fiscal imprudence — unmanaged salary increases and poorly targeted subsidies. The most recent and very visible one is Venezuela.
We thus commend the efforts of the Secretaries of Finance, Education and Budget to improve the pay of our public school teachers while preserving the country's economic gains. And we fully endorse the proposal of fiscal and education authorities for moderated adjustments in pay which are phased, reflect recent salary adjustments made, benchmarked to the market and other civil service employee comparators, count the benefits of TRAIN 1 on their take home pay, and are matched by new revenue. This should allow approach to the sought-for P10,000 salary increase over time.”
1.6 A Joint Appeal to President Rodrigo Roa Duterte for Review of Approved H.B. No. 8179 Granting a Franchise to Solar Para sa Bayan Corporation on June 26, 2019
“A bill granting Solar Para sa Bayan Corporation (SPB Corporation) a legislative franchise to put up solar micro grids in remote and unviable, unserved, or underserved areas in the country has been approved by both Houses of Congress.
Page 53 of 63
While we wholeheartedly support the Government’s electrification program, we appeal to His Excellency to review the bill.
We base our appeal to the proposed franchise grant on the following grounds:
1. The grant of the franchise will create an undue competitive edge in favor of SPB Corporation and put at a disadvantage other renewable energy companies now operating in our country. This will make less viable the operations of the other renewable energy companies and Qualified Third Parties (QTPs), which have been operating after compliance with substantive and formal requirements set by law. In other words, the grant of the franchise may defeat His Excellency’s objective of levelling the playing field in the renewable energy sector, and could prejudice power consumers.
2. We understand that SPB Corporation’s franchise bill was approved so swiftly and thus, may have been approved without sufficient deliberation to thresh out fundamental constitutional, legal and economic issues.
In view of the impact of the SPB Corporation’s franchise bill on small, mini and micro grids now operating in the country, as well as to the power consumers in general, we appeal to His Excellency to have the members of the Economic Cluster of the Cabinet review this franchise bill prior to any executive action.”

1.8 PBG – JFC letter to PRRD on the Priority Legislative Agenda on July 9, 2019
1.9 Joint Press Statement entitled “Business Groups Position on Security of Tenure Bill” on July 16, 2019
Through the Statement, the joint PBG-JFC urge the president to veto the Security of Tenure (SOT) bill for two primary reasons:
“First, the SOT bill is redundant as there are previously approved laws that already protect workers from Endo, it impinges on management prerogative anchored on the constitution, and it excludes contract workers hired by government agencies; and Page 56 of 63
Second, the passage of the bill could have a negative impact to the Philippine economy and to the workers whom the bill aims to protect.”
The Statement also emphasized that, “the SOT Bill can have the opposite effect on job creation and security of tenure, as enterprises may choose to eliminate the low-skilled work currently contracted out to service providers by using automation and artificial intelligence, re-designing work processes, or transferring work to more investor-friendly foreign destinations.”
1.10 Joint Statement on the Rice Tariffication Law and Agricultural Development on September 26, 2019
Through the Statement, the “undersigned business and professional organizations, hereby strongly support ongoing efforts and measures of the administration to liberalize the economy and thereby unleash its full potential to ensure sustainable, robust and inclusive economic growth, while ensuring better quality of life for our people through affordable food.
The need is to balance the interest of both producers and consumers.
One key measure of this effort is the rice tariffication bill approved by both Houses of Congress. This Bill is intended to decisively and quickly address the rice supply disruption problem and concomitant high prices experienced last year to the detriment of consumers.
The Bill is now with Malacańang and we urge the President to sign it into law. Upon enactment, the financial resources, management expertise, logistics support and extensive nationwide distribution system of the private sector will be harnessed to ensure food security, particularly of the most important food stable – rice.
Consumers must be freed of food supply apprehension and provided with price stability at an affordable level. This measure will address those concerns through free and open competition.
At the same time, rice farmers will be accorded protection from unfair competition through the imposition of import tariff duty of thirty-five (35) percent on imported rice.
We urge the sustained provision of essential support services and facilities – irrigation, better seedlings, modern growing and efficient harvesting technology, safe agricultural chemicals and post-harvest facilities - by the government to further assist the farm sector to be more productive and increase rural income.
On the part of consumers, maintaining a strategic reserve of rice stock is essential to guard against supply dislocation that may arise in case of natural calamities, climate change and disruption in the world market of rice.
Earmarking and judicious utilization of the rice import tariff revenue for these purposes will greatly help attain these objectives.

1.11 Joint Statement of Support for CITIRA on October 21, 2019
The Statement stated that, “We support the overall corporate income tax framework proposed under the Corporate Income Tax and Incentives Rationalization Act (CITIRA) Bill lowering the corporate income tax (CIT) and at the same time widening the tax base and promoting discipline in tax expenditure through a more prudent, targeted and transparent fiscal incentives system.
The lowering of the CIT rate from 30% to 20%, although over a long period of 10 years, will eventually put us within the ASEAN range. This will not only make us more competitive in attracting foreign investments, but it will also make our domestic corporates at par with their counterparts, thus making them more competitive as they expand their operations outbound under an integrated ASEAN market.
We are aware that the tightening of tax incentives is not welcomed by certain sectors within our ranks, but we believe in the underlying principles of having a tax incentives system that is transparent, performance-based, targeted and time-bound. We believe in the equitable sharing of tax burden, as we believe in the equitable enjoyment of living in an orderly, healthy, and prosperous society.
We support the enhancement and modernization of tax reporting system through the use of electronic sales reporting system, thereby reducing compliance costs.
We, however, propose refinements on the following:
1. The scheduled CIT rate reduction should be fixed and not conditional, although an acceleration of rate reduction, should fiscal circumstances warrant, is welcomed to be competitive with ASEAN peers. Uncertainty is the biggest nightmare in doing business.
2. Provide a reasonable fixed transition period for concerned firms under the gross income earned (GIE) regime to adjust their operations and prevent dislocation.
3. We are supportive of a one-stop shop approach for registered enterprises that would allow them to deal with only one tax agency, in effect avoiding the rigors of going through difficult processes and different rules of local government units.”

1.12 Statement on the Decision to Release the 2016 Election Test Recount Report on October 21, 2019
1.13 MAP Recommendations to Improve the Country’s Energy Situation on October 29, 2019
Through the recommendations, the MAP “reiterate our position on the importance for the country not only to keep a stable and reliable power supply but also to deliver this basic service at reasonable prices in order to foster the growth of competitive business enterprises, particularly those in critical export-oriented industries.”
The MAP requested that actions should be two-pronged:
(1) Address Bulk Power requirements of the Main Grids of Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, and (2) Allow adequate competition and supporting laws and regulations to address Off- Grid areas not served by the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP).
The MAP proposed the following measures:
1. FOR DOE
1.1 To work with the private sector and the academe in defining the “as-is” situation in the electric power industry and develop the “to-be” state by 2040 in line with Arangkada 2040 aspirations and the Build Build Build plans of the Duterte Administration 1.2 Resolve the ownership issues of the Ilijan Natural Gas Power Plant 1.3 Resolve the income tax assessment issue raised by the Commission on Audit (COA) against Shell Philippines Exploration B.V. (SPEX) and support an extension of SPEX contract to operate the Camagao-Malampaya gas field Page 59 of 63
1.4 Implement in full the spirit of Executive Order No. 30 as a way of encouraging the development and construction of new power plants using conventional and RE sources tied into the Main Grids 1.5 Encourage the development of baseload and mid-merit power plants running on RE sources 1.6 Encourage the development of indigenous natural gas resources located in various areas 1.7 Encourage the development of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility 1.8 Consider technology-neutral options for bulk power
2. FOR THE PHILIPPINE ELECTRICITY MARKET CORPORATION (PEMC) with DOE and the ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION (ERC)
To fast-track the creation of the Reserves Market and the Derivatives Market
3. FOR NGCP with DOE and ERC
3.1 To contract sufficient ancillary service 3.2 To prioritize the Visayas-Mindanao and inter-grid connection 3.3 To increase the transfer capacity between the Luzon-Visayas grids 3.4 To implement programs consistent with the Transmission Development Plan (TDP)
4. FOR ERC AND CONCERNED GOVERNMENT BODIES
4.1 For compliant power supply agreements (PSAs), we urge ERC to immediately approve these PSAs. By compliant PSAs, we mean those that have successfully conducted or completed the competitive selection process (CSP).
4.2 For other pending PSAs, we urge appropriate government bodies to resolve outstanding issues regarding PSAs that had gone through the appropriate hearing process and complied with existing rules and regulations of ERC.
4.3 Resolve pending issues for immediate implementation of Retail Competition and Open Access (RCOA) – We urge the immediate resolution of the Retail Electricity Supplier (RES) licensing issue by ERC. Moreover, voluntary contestability and lowering of thresholds should also be implemented. We note that DOE already promulgated Circulars for the resolution of such issues, but need supporting ERC issuances.
4.4 RE-Related Issuances - Revised Rules on Net Metering, and New Rules on Green Energy Option Program (GEOP). Net Metering Rules have undergone ERC public consultations. ERC should be ready for the finalization and issuance of the revised rules. For the GEOP, DOE has already promulgated the GEOP Rules, but needs supporting ERC issuance to fully implement the program.
4.5 Align Regulations for Off-Grid areas, ensuring the National Electrification Administration (NEA), DOE and ERC have complementary rules. This will encourage all players to speed up the electrification of the Off-Grid areas.
