MINUTES OF THE JOINT MEETING OF THE COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC
WORKS AND HIGHWAYS AND THE COMMITTEE ON GOVERNMENT
ENTERPRISES AND PRIVATIZATION HELD ON 25 MAY 2011, 1:30 P.M.
ROOMS 9 & 10 RVM BLDG. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
QUEZONCITY

A. JOINT MEETING WITH THE COMMITTEE ON GOVERNMENT
ENTERPRISES AND PRIVATIZATION

1. CALL TO ORDER

The meeting was called to order at 1:47 P.M.. presided by the Committee on
Public Works and Highways’ Chairman Hon. Ronald M. Cosalan and
Committee on Government Enterprise and Privatization Chairman Hon. Frico B.
Fabian with the calling of the roll dispensed.

U. PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

Chairman Cosalan of the Comminee on Public Works and Highways
immediately steered the meeting towards the deliberation of House Bill Nos.
759 and 4151 with the Chairman of the Commitee on Government
Enterprises and Privatization Hon. Fabian proceeding with his opening
statements,

I, JOINT DELIBERATIONS OF HOUSE BILL NOS. 759 AND 4151

* The Hon, Antonino, author of HB 759, explained that his bill needs
approval but has to be checked if the approval is still necessary in the light
of the issuance of Executive Order No. 8 creating the Public - Private
Partnership (PPP) Center. The reason for the need of reconciliation on [IB
759 & EO No. 8 is that HB 759 was originally designed to rationalize the
Build-Operate-Tramsfer (OT) Cemer which was then under the
Department of Trade and Industry. With the issuance of EO No. 8 creating
the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Center under the National Economie
and Development Authority (NEDA). the approval of HB 759 may now be
unnecessary.

Ion. Haresco raised a concer on the 12% cap on retum of investment
(ROI) for PPP projects, Research, Fducation and Institutional
Development (REID) Foundation President Enrico Basilio involved in
PPP policy advocacy clarified that the 12% cap is only applicable wo
unsolicited proposals and is not applicable to solicited proposals to avoid
the possibility of having sweetheart deals.

_On-the issue_of funds.for government guarantees involving Publie-Driy
is, Asst. Secretary Ruby~Alvaie2 of

ip (PPPY_ proj



Department of Budget and Management suggested providing an automatic
2ppropriations instead of a special fund duc 10 the fact that a special fund
will entail an allocation of fund prior to its use which is contrary to current
DBM policy of immediately using available funds. Another resource
person, Mr, Rene Santiago of Bellwethe Advisory. Inc., an independent
transportation consuitant, strongly suggested the abolition of government
guarantees on PPP projects due to the fact that project proposals ate
usually covered by insurance to cover possible losses of private sector if a
project will result in a financial Joss to the proponent.

~ — With the need to consolidate and:or reconcile certain provisions of HB 759
and AB 4151, Hon Fabian moved for the creation of a technical working
group (TWG) for the maner which was consequently approved by the
Committee. llon Haresco was named as the Chairman of the technical
working group (TWG) and expressed his acceptance thereto, Chairman
Ronald M. Cosalan delegated to Hon. Haresco the authority to appoint the
members of the technical working group (TWG).
