MANILA, Philippines — A total of 172 projects with a combined cost of P2.549 trillion are currently part of the country’s public-private partnership pipeline, the PPP Center said.
In an earlier report, the PPP Center said 173 projects worth P3.17 trillion were in the pipeline, but there have been changes due to the addition and delisting of some projects.
It said seven projects were added to the list covering five national projects and two local projects.
In particular, projects added to the list are the Operation and Maintenance Including Supply and Installation of Laboratory Equipment and Laboratory Information System in Antipolo, submitted by CTK-SPHIC Consortium; Floating Solar Power Generation Facility at Pantabangan Reservoir; Jalaur River Multi-purpose – Phase 2; Integrating Renewable Energy System at Irrigation Canals; the P29.39-billion 3000 TPD Manila Waste-to-Energy Facility Project submitted by the consortium of Philippine Ecology Systems Corp. and R-11 Builders Inc.; the P9.6-billion RENEWSTABLE® Green Hydrogen Power Plant in Marinduque proposed by HDF Energy Philippines Holdings Inc., and the P2.1-billion Cavite Integrated Waste Management Services proposed by Prime Waste Solutions Cavite Inc.
Meanwhile, six projects were delisted from the PPP pipeline following coordination with the appropriate implementing agencies.
Delisted were the Butuan City Digitalized Traffic Enforcement project, Tumauini River Multi-purpose Project, P763.54-billion Joint Venture Proposal for the Laguna Lake Rehabilitation and Development Project, the Food and Drug License and Clearance System project, P7.21-billion Combined 17-MW Upper Sampaloc and 8-MW Lower Sampaloc Hydroelectric Power Project, and the Comprehensive Provincial Waste Management and Carbon Capture System Utilizing Bio-Methanation No-Burn Project.
The PPP Center said the upgrade, expansion, operations and maintenance of the Laguindingan International Airport was removed from the PPP pipeline following its award, and is now reflected as under implementation.
Also taken out of the PPP pipeline database was the Santiago City Hemodialysis Center Project as the contract has been awarded.
Given limited resources, the government is pushing for PPPs as a mode for implementing infrastructure projects.
By addressing infrastructure gaps, the government wants to attract more investments that will support economic growth.
