MESSAGE FROM
THE PRESIDENT
OF THE PHILIPPINES

My warmest greetings to the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Center of the Philippines as

it publishes its 2018 Annual Report.

As the central coordinating and monitoring agency for all PPP projects in the Philippines,
the PPP Center continues to provide technical assistance to various government
agencies, state universities and colleges, local government units as well as the private
sector in the development and implementation of critical infrastructure projects
throughout the country.

I acknowledge the milestones you have achieved in the previous year, especially in the
delivery of much-needed public infrastructure such as airports, roads, ports, bridges, and
other vital installations. As a leading driver of our Build, Build, Build Program, I laud your
effort, hard work and commitment to further advocate, facilitate and push for more PPPs
in the regions.

May you continue to serve our people well as we work towards a stronger and more
progressive future for the Filipino nation.

Congratulations and I wish you success in all your endeavors.

First-rate international resort airport

These 9 PPP projects are now at different stages of

development, construction, and completion. One of
them is the Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA)
Terminal 2, which was inaugurated by President Rodrigo
Roa Duterte on June 7, 2018 and started its operations
on July 1, 2018. With this PPP project in operation, which
caters to both local and international flights, people in
the southern part of the Philippines can now boast of
having their own world-class international resort airport.
This project was undertaken and is being implemented
through a partnership among the Department of
Transportation (DOTr), the MCIA Authority (MCIAA), and
the GMR-Megawide Cebu Airport Corporation (GMCAC).

The new MCIA Terminal 2 will help address airport

congestion and increase passenger capacity of the MCIA
from 4.5 million to 12.2 million. From January to June
2018, 5.6 million domestic and international passengers
passed through this airport—nearly 44% more than in
the same period in 2015. As of 2018, a total of 175,459
flights (100,449 international and 75,010 domestic) were
recorded at the MCIA, nearly twice higher than in 2015.
Since the implementation of the MCIA PPP project, it has
continued to reap international recognition. In 2018, the
Australia-based Center for Asia Pacific (CAPA) Aviation
Awards named MCIA as the “Asia Pacific Medium Airport
of the Year.”

The new Terminal 2 building of the Mactan-Cebu International Airport

was opened to the public in July 2018. The renovation and expansion
of Terminal 1 and associated facilities are currently ongoing.

Monitoring the implementation of PPP projects

An integral part of the PPP Center’s function is to maintain a secure, up-

to-date, and centrally managed database of all PPP projects. It currently
maintains a functional live archive of PPP projects lodged in a web-based
portal manned by the PPP Center. This information is available to the public
and regularly updated to reflect movements in the project as well as its
accomplishments.

To sustain this function, the PPP Center conducts regular project site visits
in order to monitor the performance of PPP projects that have already been
awarded and are now in various stages of implementation.

In 2018, the PPP Center conducted project site visits nationwide. Some of
these visited PPP projects include the following:

ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS

In 2018, the PPP Center continued to grow, innovate,

and face challenges. It pushed for several initiatives
to enhance its operations and business processes. It
ensured that the people behind the organization were
provided the right opportunities and its partners and
stakeholders continued to be updated and informed.

Achieving ISO certification and other recognitions

In December 2018, the PPP Center achieved its ISO

9001:2015 Certification on the Administration and
Management of the Project Development and Monitoring
Facility. This is a testament to the agency’s consistent
pursuit of its objective to continuously enhance its
internal operations and processes in facilitating the
Philippine PPP Program.

As a strong advocate of the principles of transparency

and information sharing, the PPP Center consistently
implemented its Freedom of Information (FOI) mandate.
In February 2018, the PPP Center was certified by
the Presidential Communications Operations Office
(PCOO) to be fully compliant with the government’s FOI
requirements. Since its implementation of the FOI policy
and process with its own FOI Manual in 2016, it already
processed 22 FOI requests.

On October 17, 2018, the PPP Center’s Finance Division

was once again recognized by the Association of
Government Accountants of the Philippines (AGAP)
for the quality, timeliness, and accuracy of its 2017
financial reports. The AGAP awarded the unit as one of
the Outstanding Accounting Offices in the Philippines for
fiscal year 2017.

The PPP Center was also a finalist for the PPP Awards

The GAD committee also sets the annual plans and

programs by holding the GAD Year-end Assessment

Implementing the Information Systems Strategic

Plan

The PPP Center had its Information Systems Strategic

Plan (ISSP) for 2018–2021 reviewed and endorsed by
the Department of Information and Communications
Technology (DICT). Such an endorsement indicates that
the PPP Center has complied with the resource planning
of its ICT requirements for the next three years. With this
development, the plan is now subject to the Medium-
Term Information and Communications Technology
Harmonization Initiative (MITHI) review to ensure
interoperability of the PPP Center’s ICT-related resources,
programs, and projects.
