On June 2, 2021, the PPP Center met with the Provincial Government of Batangas to discuss potential PPP projects which the Province is exploring to develop and implement.

The meeting was attended by Batangas Governor Hermilando I. Mandanas and other officers from the Provincial Selection Committee, Provincial Planning and Development Office, and other offices.

The meeting was led by the PPP Center – Project Development Service (PDS) which discussed the overview of the PPP Program, preliminary recommendations on the PPP project concepts, and the Project Development and Monitoring Facility (PDMF) services available for the Province.

In 2017, the Province enacted the Batangas Public Private Joint Venture Ordinance through Provincial Ordinance No. 466-2017 in order to attract and encourage private sector participation in local development.

As part of its Local PPP Strategy, the PPP Center strengthened its support to local implementing agencies in developing and implementing their infrastructure and development projects.
