A public–private partnership (PPP, 3P or P3) is a government service or private business venture that is funded and operated through a partnership of government and one or more private sector companies.
Addressing the infrastructure gap is a continuing effort critical to the development agenda of the Philippine government. With an aging infrastructure, a growing population, and the need to be more competitive in the global market, different administrations sought alternatives to cope with the need to build more projects in sectors like transportation, power and roads.
However, the country’s infrastructure agenda is constrained by a limited fiscal space. In this context, the government looks to the private sector as a reliable partner in infrastructure development.
These are the planned (pending approval) PPP projects in the Philippines:
NAIA Development Project
The project will improve, upgrade and enhance the operational efficiencies of all existing terminals of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) covering both landside and airside (except air traffic services), to meet the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards and develop the main gateway airport of the Philippines.
Central Luzon Link Expressway (CLLEX) Phase II,
The Central Luzon Link Expressway (CLEX) is a two-lane, 35.7-kilometer expressway and is an extension of CLEX Phase I, a 4-lane, 30.7-kilometer expressway with on-going construction through an Official Development Assistance. It will connect Cabanatuan City to San Jose City in Nueva Ecija Province.
R1-R10 Link Mass Transport System Development Project
The project will involve the establishment and operations of a mass transport system through a bus rapid transit (BRT) system that will link the cities of Navotas and South Caloocan via R1 and R10 to the cities of Manila, Pasay and Parañaque.
Metro Manila Skyway (MMS) Stage 3
The project is a 14.82 km. 6-lane elevated toll road and the last of three (3) stages of Metro Manila Skyway (MMS) System. It is intended to connect South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) at Alabang to Balintawak in Quezon City before North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) through Central Metro Manila Area by using predominantly median of Quirino, G. Araneta and A. Bonifacio road networks.
Among the key benefits of the project is the improvement of accessibility, mobility, and connectivity in and out of the metropolis via eight (8) strategically located interchanges: these being at Buendia, Pres. Quirino Avenue, Plaza Dilao and Nagtahan, Aurora Boulevard, E. Rodriguez Avenue, Quezon Avenue, Sgt. Rivera and Balintawak with a total of 14 Toll Plazas. The project will enhance the economic interaction of CALABARZON, Mega Manila, and central Luzon that contribute to over 60% of the country’s GDP. It will also provide an alternate route to decongest EDSA and the major thoroughfares around its vicinity.
The project is a component of the Supplemental Toll Operation Agreement (STOA) entered into by and among the Republic of the Philippines, through Toll Regulatory Board (TRB), CITRA, and the Philippine National Construction Corporation (PNCC) in relation to the Business and Joint Venture Agreement covering the project.
NLEX East Expressway
The North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) East Project is a 4-lane expressway beginning from the La Mesa Parkway at Barangay Bigte, Norzagaray, Bulacan and stretching northwards, passing through the municipalities of Norzagaray, Angat, San Ildefonso, San Miguel in Bulacan and the municipalities of Gapan and Sta. Rosa in the province of Nueva Ecija. The expressway will cross the major rivers of Angat, Peñaranda and Pampanga. It has an estimated total length of about 91 km and lies approximately 7 km east of Maharlika Highway. The project will form an important transport access in the eastern area of Region III. This will further spur economic development in these areas. Travelers will have an alternate route in going to and from Cabanatuan City which connects to major roads leading to Regions II and Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR).
The private partner will undertake the financing, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of the NLEX East.
NLEx-SLEx Connector Road
The project involves the construction and operation and maintenance (O&M) of a 8 km. 4-lane elevated expressway over the Philippine National Railway (PNR) right of way. It starts from C3 Road in Caloocan through Manila crossing Espana towards PUP, Sta. Mesa connecting Metro Manila Skyway Stage 3 (MMSS3). Once completed, the NLEX-SLEX Connector road is expected to decongest traffic in Metro Manila by providing an alternative to C-5 Road, Efipanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA), and other major thoroughfares, and cut the travel time between NLEX and SLEX to 15-20 minutes which today takes more than an hour.
MRT Line 7
The project involves the financing, design, construction, operation & maintenance of the 23-kilometer elevated railway line with 14 stations from San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan to MRT 3 North Avenue in Quezon City and the 22-kilometer asphalt road from Bocaue Interchange of the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) to the intermodal terminal in Tala. The road component will divert northern provincial buses operation to San Jose Del Monte, thereby decongesting EDSA.
Plaridel Bypass Toll Road
The Plaridel Bypass Road is a 24.61-kilometer road starting at the Balagtas interchange in North Luzon Expressway (NLEx) up to San Rafael, Bulacan. The road project traverses five Municipalities of Bulacan: Balagtas, Guiguinto, Plaridel, Bustos, and San Rafael. Currently, the road is being constructed as a two-lane paved road under the Philippine-Japan Highway Loan Project.
The proposed Plaridel Bypass Toll Road Project involves the conversion of the existing road into expressway standards. The road will be expanded to four-lane road with 3.50 meter width per lane and 2.5 meter width shoulder. It also involves the construction of additional interchanges, overpass/underpass, other miscellaneous works: operation and maintenance and provision for service roads.
The project will address growing traffic demand and will provide economic savings to motorist in terms of vehicle operating cost and travel time. The private partner will finance, design, construct, maintain and operate the Plaridel Bypass Toll Road.
Laguna Lakeshore Expressway-Dike Project
The project will provide a high standard highway with a dike that will ease traffic flow and mitigate flooding in the western coastal communities along the Laguna Lake. The highway will run from Taguig in Metro Manila through the towns of Calamba to the Los Banos-Bay boundary in Laguna.
The private partner will finance, design, construct, operate, and maintain the 47-kilometer flood control dike with a six (6) lane expressway toll road on top. It will also include the construction of interchanges, bridges, floodgates, and pumps, from Taguig to Los Banos. The private proponent will also undertake the reclamation of 700 hectares located west of and abutting the expressway-dike and separated from the shoreline by a 100-150-meter channel, in Taguig and Muntinlupa.

LRT Line 4 Project
The LRT 4 Project is a proposed 11km rail line running west from the SM City in Taytay to the intersection of Ortigas Avenue and EDSA in Ortigas. The proposed ROW alignment is along Taytay Diversion Road and Ortigas Avenue with six stations, namely: (i) EDSA (transfer station with the MRT) (ii) Meralco Avenue, (iii) Pasig, (iv) Bonifacio Avenue, (v) L Wood Road, and (vi) SM Taytay.
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 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 around 12km/hour—much lower than the average for Metro Manila.
Central Spine Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo)
The project will provide the country with an efficient nautical backbone to create a seamless, safe, effective and economical movement of passengers, vehicles and goods, through a combination of roads/highway systems and a roll on-roll off (RoRo) ferry services.
The Central Spine Roro (CSR) Route will link the country’s major islands, as it passes through the different ports or terminal facilities of identified islands. RoRo Road Stations (RRS) will be established to act as extensions of a national highway with road and ramp facility leading to the water that will complement conventional ports in the RoRo network.
The proposed route of the Central will include the CSR-1 which will pass through the following ports: Batangas Port, Calapan Port, Roxas Port (Oriental Mindoro), Caticlan Port, Dumangas Port, BREDCO Port (Bacolod City), San Carlos Port, Toledo Port, San Fernando Port/Cebu (Proposed), Tubigon Port, Jagna Port, Balbagon Port (Camiguin), Benoni Port, Balingoan Port in Misamis Oriental, and Cagayan de Oro.
The private partner will rehabilitate, construct, lease, operate, and maintain selected priority RoRo ports, making sure that the market for RoRo services in their ports are served. Included too are the rehabilitation, construction, lease, and the operation and maintenance of roads and superhighways that connect the identified ports which were selected as part of the Central Spine RoRo. The private partner may operate the ferry services using custom-designed high quality Catarman RoRo ferries.
New Bohol (Panglao) Airport Operations, Maintenance & Development Project
The project involves the operation and maintenance of the New Bohol airport that will replace the existing Tagbilaran Airport. The New Bohol Airport will be built by the Department of Transportation and Communications through the technical and financial assistance of the Japan International Cooperation Authority (JICA).
The private partner will undertake the operation and maintenance of the airport, provide additional facilities and other necessary improvements to enhance passenger safety, security, access, passenger and cargo movement efficiency, and operational efficiency as well as actively market the airport in order to develop direct international passenger traffic and diversify revenue sources.
The private partner will also provide the necessary capital investments to upgrade the capacity of the airport facility in terms of passengers, freight and Air Traffic Movement (ATM) within the timeframe set in the concession agreement.
LRT Line 6 Project
The LRT Line 6 Project is a proposed 19 kilometer railway from Niyog, Bacoor (the terminus of the LRT 1 CAVEX extension) to Dasmariñas City. The proposed ROW alignment is along the Aguinaldo Highway with 7 stations, namely: (i) Niyog, (ii) Tirona, (iii) Imus, (iv) Daang Hari; (v) Salitran, (vi) Congressional Avenue, and (vii) Governor’s Drive.
Currently, Cavite is experiencing a rapid growth, and many of its residents travel to Manila for work and education purposes. The project will improve passenger mobility and reduce the volume of vehicular traffic in the Cavite area by providing a higher capacity mass transit system. It also aims to spur economic development along the extension corridor.
Under a 30-year concession agreement, the private partner will finance, design, construct, operate and maintain, and procure the rolling stock for the LRT system.
Integrated Transport System-North Terminal Project
The project will involve the construction of mass transportation intermodal terminal in the north of EDSA that will maximize road usage by reducing vehicle volume and improving traffic flow along Metro Manila’s major thoroughfares, particularly along EDSA.
It will connect passengers coming from Northern Luzon to other transport system such as city bus, taxi, and other public utility vehicles that are serving inner Metro Manila. The project will include passenger terminal buildings, arrival and departure bays, public information systems, ticketing and baggage handling facilities, and park-ride facilities.
The private partner will undertake the design, construction, and financing of the ITS terminal as well as the operation & maintenance of the whole facility. The concessionaire can also undertake commercial development and collect revenues generated from the same.
East-West Rail Project
The Project will involve the construction, operation and maintenance of the East-West Rail (“EWR”), a mostly elevated 9.4-kilometer railway line from Diliman, Quezon City to Lerma, Manila. The EWR will have 11 stations and provide interconnecting facilities with neighboring rail systems. The Project aims to alleviate traffic congestion and encourage more productive activities.
