In this context, the Philippine PublicPrivate Partnership (PPP) Program was forged as a flagship 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 a 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 PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP CENTER 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 firms 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 field among interested investors. 5 OVERVIEW OF THE PPP PROCESS nationality requirements Who can participate in the Philippine PPP Program? • Regardless of nationality, anyone is encouraged to invest and participate in the Philippine PPP Program. • For PPP, 100% foreign equity may be allowed in all areas of investment EXCEPT in case of infrastructure facility whose OPERATION requires public utility franchise. In the construction stage of the infrastructure projects, the project proponent can obtain financing from foreign and/or domestic sources and/or engage the services of a foreign and/or Filipino contractor: provided, that, in case an infrastructure or a development facility’s operation requires a public utility franchise, the facility operator must be Filipino or if a corporation, it must be duly registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and owned up to at least sixty percent (60%) by Filipinos. 6 fiscal incentives PPP projects are entitled to incentives under the Omnibus Investments Code of 1987 (E.O. No. 226) and other existing laws. The Board of Investments (BOI) is the government agency mandated to be responsible for the regulation and promotion of investments in the Philippines, as well as the granting of such incentives. The BOI is also tasked to prepare the country’s Investment Priorities Plan (IPP) in consultation with other government agencies, the private sector, and other stakeholders. The IPP is a list of various areas of economic activities for investment eligible for government incentives. The list includes infrastructure, agriculture/agribusiness and fishery, creative industries/knowledge-based services; shipbuilding; mass housing; energy; research and development; green projects; motor vehicles; tourism; strategic projects; and disaster prevention, mitigation and recovery projects. Incentives for Board of Investments (BOI)-registered Enterprises Entitlement and availment of incentives shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth under the relevant law and the project’s Certificate of Registration as well as the rules and regulations of the implementing/administering agency. The Omnibus Investments Code of 1987 (E.O. No. 226) provides the following incentives: 1. Income Tax Holiday (ITH) a. Six (6) years for projects with pioneer status and for projects located in a Less Developed Area (LDA); b. Four (4) years for new projects with non-pioneer status; c. Three (3) years for expansion/modernization projects. 2. Duty exemption on imported capital equipment, spare parts and accessories; 3.

The proposed ROW alignment is along Taytay Diversion Road and Ortigas Avenue with six stations, namely: (i) Ortigas Avenue - Robinsons Galleria (transfer station with the MRT) (ii) Meralco Avenue, (iii) Rosario Pasig, (iv) Bonifacio Avenue, (v) Taytay Diversion Road, and (vi) East Manila Road. This project will provide improved local transportation solutions and a better link to Metro Manila for the large and growing population in and around Taytay. The area is currently underserved in terms of transport options, with Ortigas Avenue as the only main thoroughfare linking the region to Metro Manila. As a result, Ortigas Avenue is highly congested, with over 4,000 public transport passengers every hour and travel speeds during peak hour of only around 12km/hour— much lower than the average for Metro Manila. The project has three key objectives: · To address congestion along the Ortigas Avenue corridor; · To improve connectivity between Ortigas and the western parts of Metro Manila; and · To achieve integration with other mass transit projects into an overall network CONTACT PERSONS LISA MARIE B.

POLICY INITIATIVES Since the launch of the PPP Program, the Government has been advocating measures to enhance the legal and policy environment for private sector participation and to enable a more systematized and faster 2012 Amendments to the BOT LawImplementing Rules and Regulations With the end view of having clearer and streamlined processes on PPP, the BOT LawImplementing Rules and Regulations (BOT Law IRR) was amended. The revised IRR promotes an accelerated processing of PPP projects, with clearer transparency measures in the bidding and award of projects. It also puts in place various improvements on governance and accountability mechanisms. Guidelines on unsolicited proposals have also been improved. E.O. No. 78: Rules in Arbitration and Dispute Resolution Executive Order No. 78 promotes the alternative dispute resolution as an efficient tool and an alternative procedure in achieving speedy and impartial justice and de-clogging court dockets. It provides a more inviting climate for private investments by making the resolution of disputes arising out of a contract less expensive, tedious, complex, and time consuming. Extension of the BSP Circular No. 779 on Single Borrower’s Limit BSP Circular No. 779 has been extended for three (3) years allowing a separate single borrower’s loan (SBL) limit of 25% the net worth of the lending bank/quasi-bank for loans, credit accomodations for private proponents engaged in PPP projects. 53 E.O. No. 136: Amendments to E. O. No. 8 Guidelines for Debriefing Process of a Disqualified Bidder in PPP Projects Executive Order No. 136, issued by the President last May 28, 2013, amends E.O. No. 8 series of 2010 that provides for the creation of the PPP Governing Board and enhances the PDMF fund to support implementing agencies in the conduct of preinvestment studies, and project monitoring (i.e. hiring of independent consultants for monitoring). The PPP Governing Board is the overall policy-making body for all PPPrelated matters, including the PDMF, and shall be responsible for setting the strategic direction for the PPP Program. It shall also be responsible for creating an enabling policy and institutional environment for PPP. The Guidelines was aimed at helping the implementing agencies conduct a debriefing session with the disqualified bidder to explain why their offer or bid was not accepted. This measure intends to clarify misapprehension of the results of the bidding, if any, and also to allow bidders to improve their future bid submissions in other PPP projects. The suggested debriefing process likewise ensures that it will be done in a fair and transparent manner while maintaining the integrity and confidentiality of the contents of other parties’ submission. Revised NEDA Joint Venture Guidelines for GOCCs The Revised NEDA Joint Venture Guidelines prescribes the new rules, guidelines, and procedures forging Joint Venture Agreements between government corporations. It provides clear and detailed provisions on the approval of joint venture proposals, including possible forms of performance security that a government entity should require. DILG Memorandum Circular 2011-16 In strengthening the private sector participation in local development, the Center worked hand in hand with the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) towards the issuance of DILG Memorandum Circular No. 2011-16 on the establishment of PPP Sub-Committee in the Local Development Councils (LDCs). Further, the PPP Center worked towards amending the said issuance that seeks to strengthen the role of the PPP Sub-Committee by converting it into a special committee under the LDCs and to integrate PPP approach in local development activities. 54 Sector Guidelines for Transport, Health, Agriculture and Education To provide guidance to implementing agencies during the early stage of project development for PPPs in the transport, health agriculture and education sectors. This will further help government institutions to formulate well-considered and transparent PPP policy decisions in their specific sectors. Policy Circular on the Guidelines and Procedures for the Appraisal of PPP Projects To separate the project appraisal of PPP projects from non-PPP projects, this Guidelines has been formulated for use by the ICC-Technical Working Group (TWG) comprising of the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Secretariat, Department of Finance (DOF), Department of Environment and Natural Resources – Environmental Management Bureau (DENREMB), and Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Center. Policy Circular Development on Pipeline This Guidelines aims to institutionalize the criteria and process in the identification, selection, and prioritization of PPP projects using Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCA) approach, which can be a useful tool in determining potential PPP projects and ensuring generation of a credible list of projects that have a relatively higher potential of being procured using the PPP scheme. Policy Circular on PPP Best Practices This Circular aims to institutionalize best practices in PPP procurement process and project implementation across the government and to guide the implementing agencies in effectively integrating these into the PPP procurement process and project implementation. Policy Circular on Termination Payment for PPP Projects Termination Payment (TP) refers to the amount payable by the Government or the Concessionaire on the occurence of an event or series of events provided for in the PPP contract that results in the termination of the said contract Policy Circular on PPP Monitoring Framework and Monitoring Protocols This Policy seeks to identify the roles and responsibilities of the key parties involved in monitoring the implementation of PPP projects; to define the protocols for generating, processing, and sharing information for monitoring the implementation of PPP projects; and to document information on lessons learned and best practices during project implementation that can be used in planning, evaluating, and implementing future PPP projects. On-going Policy Initiatives: Policy Circular Funding (VGF) on Viability Gap This Policy Circular seeks to institutionalize a VGF scheme for PPP projects to make economically-viable PPP projects affordable to the public and at the same time, improve their commercial attractiveness. Policy Circular on Appointment of Probity Advisors for PPP Procurement This Policy Circular aims to institutionalize the appointment of Probity Advisors prior to the commencement of applicable PPP procurements to manage and provide an independent opinion on probity issues that may arise during the procurement process; and for confirming that the concluded process has met the probity requirements. Amending the BOT Law into a PPP Act The proposed amendments to the BOT Law seek to expand the coverage of RA 7718 or the BOT Law into a Public-Private Partnership Act, which includes Joint Venture as an additional PPP scheme. The Law also aims to provide improved guidelines on handling unsolicited proposals from interested proponents, and facilitating the competitive challenge, among others. Amendments to RA 8974 - An Act to Facilitate the acquisition of Right-ofWay (ROW) The PPP Center had engaged with key players involved in project implementation to identify bottlenecks in acquiring right-of-way and come up with solutions to address the same. 55 Awards and Citations PH: Most-Improved in Asia-Pacific for PPP Readiness INFRASCOPE 2014 Best Central Government PPP Promoter PARTNERSHIPS AWARDS 2014 Asia-Pacific Grantor of the Year IJGLOBAL AWARDS 2014 PPP Agency of the Year The ASSET Triple A Asia INFRASTRUCTURE AWARDS 2015 56 Public-Private Partnership Center 8th Floor, One Cyberpod Centris, Eton Centris, Brgy.
