PPP project pipeline grows to 187, now worth P2.36 Trillion

The Public-Private Partnership Center (PPPC) announced a continued expansion of its project pipeline, now comprising 187 ventures valued at P2.636 trillion as of April 11, 2025.

This marks an increase from the 176 projects worth P2.603 trillion recorded just a month earlier, reflecting strong interest from both national government agencies and local government units (LGUs) in leveraging private sector partnerships to boost infrastructure and service delivery.

According to the PPPC, 14 new projects were added to the list—three at the national level with a combined value of P13.58 billion, and 11 from LGUs totaling P41.47 billion.

Among the notable national projects are the P3.97-billion Last Mile Schools Green Energy and Connectivity Project by the Department of Education and WeGen Energy Philippines, the P4.3-billion Philippine Coast Guard Maritime Modernization Program with the Maritime Technology Group, and the P5.31-billion Subic International Airport Project under the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority in partnership with Cerberus Asia Pacific Investments, LLC.

Local initiatives include nine new projects from the Provincial Government of Palawan. These range from port expansions and airport development to healthcare, waste management, and eco-tourism ventures. Notable among them are the P3-billion Solar Power Garden Project and the P1.75-billion expansion of El Nido Port Integrated Terminal Exchange.

Iloilo City and Tagbilaran City also added projects to the pipeline, with the P18.27-billion Iloilo Global City and a P17-million Dialysis Center, respectively.

Under the newly enacted PPP Code, only national projects exceeding P15 billion require approval from the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Board. LGUs, meanwhile, may greenlight their own PPPs through their respective Sangguniang Bayan.

Two previously listed projects were moved to the monitoring database following successful contract awards: the P2.1-billion Bacolod Super City Project and the P2.54-billion USWAG Condominium Complex Project.

However, the upgrade and expansion of Kalibo International Airport, previously listed at P3.26 billion, was removed from the pipeline after negotiations with the private proponent failed.

The PPPC’s expanding portfolio underscores the government’s ongoing commitment to infrastructure modernization and public service enhancement through strategic private sector collaboration.
