Road Infrastructure Development in the Philippines

The document outlines the Philippines' strategy for road infrastructure development from 2005-2010. It aims to pave 95% of national arterial roads and 70% of national secondary roads by 2010. It also aims to make 100% of national bridges permanent structures. Major projects include completing the nautical highways connecting Mindanao to other islands, decongesting Metro Manila through new expressways, improving access to tourist destinations, and developing roads in conflict-affected areas to support peace. Public-private partnerships are encouraged for toll road projects.

BASIC MANDATE:
Planning of infrastructure, such as roads and bridges, flood
control, water resources projects and other public works, and the

design, construction, and maintenance of national roads and


bridges, and major flood control systems.
These activities are undertaken in support of the national
development objectives as envisioned in the 2005-2010 MediumTerm Philippine Development Plan(MTPDP).

DESIRED OUTCOMES OVER THE MEDIUM-TERM


a.

National arterial roads (15,663 km) will be 95 percent


paved by 2010, compared to 83 percent in 2005. This will
require the paving of 2,207 km and the
rehabilitation/widening/ upgrading/construction of 2,292
km.

a.

National secondary roads (13,987 km) will be 70 percent


paved by 2010, compared to the existing 52 percent in
2005. This will entail the paving of 3,835 km and the
rehabilitation of 1,390 km.

a.

National bridges (314,456) lineal meters or lm) will be 100


percent permanent by 2010, compared to the 93 percent
in 2005. This will involve the replacement of 12,400 lm of
temporary bridges and the improvement of 6,047 lm of
existing bridges. The program will also include the
construction of 2,154 lm of new bridges.

PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP (PPP)


INITIATIVES

28

POLICY
The Government of the Philippines
recognizes the
indispensable role of the private sector as the main engine
for national growth and development and provide the most
appropriate incentives to mobilize private resources for
financing the construction, operation and maintenance of
infrastructure and development projects normally financed
and undertaken by the Government.
Such incentives, aside from financial incentives as provided by
law, include providing a climate of minimum government
regulations and procedures and specific government
undertakings in support of the private sector.

29

PPP is essentially a contractual arrangement


entered into by a national government
implementing agency (IA) to authorize the
private sector entity to finance, construct,
operate and maintain a facility, and, in the
process, to charge user fees or receive
compensation from the government. The choice
of the PPP mode may vary from any of the
schemes authorized under the BOT Law.

30

Transfer of the burden of raising funds for projects


and project risks to the private sector;
Government resources are freed and re-allocated for
other urgent uses;

The entry of private sector superior technology and


expertise is paved;
Project implementation is hastened and operating
efficiency is assured; and
Creation of conditions for technology transfer and
training.

31

The fundamental legal bases for implementing


PPP projects are the:
BOT Law (Republic Act 6957 as amended by
Republic Act 7718, approved 05 May 1994, and
its Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR);
and
Government Owned and Controlled Corporations
(GOCC) Charter examples are Public Estates
Authority (PEA), National Development Company
(NDC) and others
32

CONTRACTUAL ARRANGEMENTS/SCHEMES

Private sector proponents


can now use different
variants
to
implement
infrastructure
projects
under
the
BOT
arrangement.
The BOT
Law allows nine specific
variants described in the
table below and other
modes subject to the
approval of the President

Build-and-Transfer (BT)
Build- Lease-Transfer (BLT)
Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT)
Build- Own- Operate (BOO)
Build-transfer-Operate (BTO)
Contract-Add-Operate (CAO)
Develop-Operate-and-Transfer
(DOT)
Rehabilitate-operate-and
Transfer (ROT)
Rehabilitate-Own-Operate (ROO)

33

Under the BOT scheme, a private proponent enters into


a contractual arrangement with the IA to undertake any
or a combination of the BOT variants for an
infrastructure facility. The following rights may be
bestowed on the private proponent:
To operate the facility over a fixed period, not to
exceed 50 years;
To charge facility users fees, tolls, rentals or share in
the revenue of the project; and
To recover capital, operating and maintenance
expenses and
earn a reasonable return on
investment.
34

BOT CENTER

The agency mandated to coordinate and


monitor projects implemented under the Act,
pursuant to Administrative Order No. 67
(s. 1999), as amended by Administrative
Order No. 103 (s. 2000) and Executive Order

CURRENT INITIATIVES TO DEVELOP MORE EXPRESSWAYS

Study of Master Plan of High Standard Highway Development


The DPWH, with technical assistance from JICA, will formulate a Master Plan of
High Standard Highways within the area of 200 km radius from Metro Manila, Metro
Cebu and the Tagum, Davao-Gen. Santos corridor. A major output from this study
will be identification of road network and routes for the high standard highways to
meet future traffic demand. The study will be completed in April 2010 .

Cavite-Laguna (CALA) Tollway Project


The project involves the following
components:
1. North-South Road (NS) Highway, a 27.2
km. six-lane highway extending from
Bacoor, Cavite in the north to Sta. RosaLaguna in the south.
2. East-West Road, a 24.3 km. highway
extending the existing Daang Hari (DH)
road eastward to SLEX and westward to
Tanza.
With technical assistance by the World Bank,
the project is being developed as a Private
Public Partnership (PPP) project Target
implementation of the NS Road is 2012.

40

CURRENT INITIATIVES TO DEVELOP MORE EXPRESSWAY

Feasibility Study of Central Luzon Expressway (CLEX) Project.


The study will verify and confirm viability of a road directly connecting Pan-Philippine
Highway (PPH) to Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX) and an extension to
north-eastern Luzon. If implemented, about 30 km of expressways will serve as
seamless road link in that area . The study will be completed by end of December
2009.

Circumferential
Project

Road

(C-6)

The C-6 Project will be a six lane


tollway connecting North Luzon
Expressway
(NLEX)
in
Marilao,
Bulacan and South Luzon Expressway
(SLEX), in Taguig, Metro Manila. Its
approximate length of 64.7 km will
traverse part of Metro Manila, four (4)
municipalities in Rizal Province and
three (3) municipalities in Bulacan
Province. A feasibility study will be
conducted with technical assistance
from the Korean government starting
2010.

41

CURRENT INITIATIVES TO DEVELOP MORE EXPRESSWAY


Business Case for PPP Projects
The DPWH will develop a pipeline of potential expressway projects
for PPP implementation within the next medium term. About six
(6) expressway projects have been initially identified and this will
be subjected to a business case study to determine
the
appropriateness of the projects for PPP. The business case will
determine costs, issues, and basic clearances, especially those
issues that may prevent a particular project from proceeding.
Consultants to undertake the study will be procured in the first
quarter of 2010.

42

CONCLUSIONS

Opportunities for providing expressways have increased in recent years


and are still increasing. DPWH will pursue their construction within the
next medium term.
