Remarks

The project is moved to "Under Evaluation" following the Iloilo Provincial Government's letter to the Proponent on September 05, 2024 informing them that the LGU will proceed with the detailed evaluation.

As of August 22, 2024, the PPP Center has not received a copy of the decision of the IPG whether to proceed with the detailed evaluation of the project. The PPP Center notes that such decision to be made by the IPG is already past the 10-day deadline provided in Section 54 of the PPP Code IRR.

On August 19, 2024, PPP Center received a letter from the Iloilo City Government that it is rejecting the unsolicited proposal.

The unsolicited proposal was endorsed to the Iloilo Provincial Government (IPG) and the Iloilo City Government, the proposed implementing agencies for the project, on August 9, 2024 after being determined to be complete pursuant to Section 10 of the PPP Code.
