Australian trade exec lauds PPP program
“PPP’s are hard, there is no doubt about that. Bidding for PPP actually cost a lot of money. The Philippine government has awarded over 10 PPP projects and have another 14 in the pipeline, that’s a magnificent achievement. Show me any other ASEAN neighbor who has done that. There is none.
So the Philippines in the region is viewed as sort of best in class in traversing their PPP agenda and this current government is very supportive of that and will continue to be.”
