Integrated PPP vs hybrid PPP

By

I have a video in BusinessWorld on public private partnerships (PPP), two minutes long posted Sept. 12, 2017, has 29k+ views, thanks readers/viewers.


One good example why a straight, integrated PPP (construction then O&M under one entity or consortium) is better than hybrid PPP (government/ODA will do or sub-contract the construction phase, then give the O&M function to local firms/consortium later).

Thank you.

On unprogrammed appropriations and Secretary Ralph Recto July 30, 2024 | 12:02 am My Cup Of Liberty By Bienvenido S. Oplas, Jr. Share https://www.bworldonline.com/opinion/2024/07/30/610842/on-unprogrammed-appropriations-and-secretary-ralph-recto/ T he use of the idle funds of some government-owned and -controlled corporations (GOCCs) like PhilHealth to fund the Unprogrammed Appropriations of the budget law, the General Appropriations Act (GAA), has become a big issue recently.  See for instance, see these “Yellow Pad” columns in  BusinessWorld : “Maharlika 2: This time, PhilHealth members are the victims” (July 1), “The P89.9 billion taken from PhilHealth are member contributions, not government subsidies” (July 22), “Lame arguments to justify the transfer of PhilHealth funds” (July 29). From the “Demand and Supply” column in the   Philippine Star : “Unhealthy mess” (July 17) and “Shameless, Sec Ralph!” (July 24). And from “Gotcha” column also in the   Philippine Sta...

Top 10 economic news stories of 2023 December 28, 2023 | 12:02 am My Cup Of Liberty By Bienvenido S. Oplas, Jr. https://www.bworldonline.com/opinion/2023/12/28/565683/top-10-economic-news-stories-of-2023/ Merry Christmas, dear readers. This piece is toast to the great economic performance of the Philippines despite an unwieldy and worsening global economic environment. For the purposes of brevity, we are covering only three important indicators — GDP growth, the unemployment rate, and the inflation rate. Countries covered in this analysis are those that the IMF projects as having GDP size at purchasing power parity (PPP) values for 2023 of at least $700 billion. These are also the top 40 largest economies in the world. Two countries among the top 40, Pakistan and Bangladesh, have no quarterly GDP growth data, so are not included. These are the top 10 economic stories and trends based on these indicators and data. 1. India, Iran, the Philippines, China, and Indonesia (all Asian countrie...

MORE de-bureaucratizing laws, please

* This is my article in  BusinessWorld  last April 12, 2019. From January to March 11 this year, Congress has created and passed 77 new laws, 28 of national application (table below) and 49 being local or franchise laws. The dates when they were approved by the President this year are also here. From the perspective of tax-conscious taxpayers and regulations-wary entrepreneurs, five of the 28 national laws are good laws on lesser bureaucracies, lesser taxes required: RA 11203, 11231, 11232, 11234, and 11239. There are 15 bad laws on more bureaucracies needing more taxes, more regulations: 11180, 11194, 11199, 11200, 11201, 11206, 11210, 11214, 11215, 11223, 11228 to 11230, 11235, and 11241. And eight are somehow neutral laws: RA 11168, 11188, 11202, 11207, 11211, 11216, 11222, and 11227. Laws of local application include: creating another legislative district, another barangay, high school, polytechnic institute, state university, sports training center, city prosecution offic...
