With the PPP legal framework in place, the opportunity to realize this dream
came in the form of the Unsolicited Proposal submitted by PSMO.
In order to act on this proposal, the PPP Selection Committee was created
through Executive Order No. 21 Series of 2015 on October 29, 2015.
The committee had their work cut out for them due to the novelty of the PPP
framework and lack of materials as guide. Fortunately, with the government’s
drive to promote the viability of PPPs to LGUs, the staff of the PPP Center of
the Philippines were more than willing to give valuable assistance to the
committee.
Working in close coordination with the PPP Center, the committee made sure
that no stone was unturned. It is admitted that the project took a long time
to be finalized, one of the reasons is the change from BOT to Joint Venture,
but being the pioneer PPP project of the LGU it was necessary to secure that
the process and outcome was transparent, competitive, and beneficial to the
LGU. As the saying goes, nothing worth having comes easy.
In my opinion, the rehabilitation of the slaughterhouse is the most fitting to
be the inaugural PPP project of the LGU because of its far reaching effect in
society as it would provide clean and healthy meat not just for Kalibonhons
but neighboring towns as well. It is in line with the DILG’s LGU P4 Program
wherein it will not only benefit the LGU, the first “P,” the private sector
proponent (PSP), the second “P,” together composing the partnership, the
third “P,” and lastly the direct and ultimate beneficiary of the PPP project is
the fourth “P”—the people or the public good.
We hope that this is a start of many more PPP projects for the LGU and that
more civic-minded private companies like PSMO take interest in the potential
of Kalibo for investment and growth. We strongly encourage the next
administration to continue the PPP program as it is a dynamic tool for
community-building for it promotes collaboration and cooperation between the
public and private sector.
And now, without much further ado, let us now proceed to the signing of the
PPP Agreement between the LGU Kalibo as represented by the Mayor William
and PSMO, Inc. as represented by Sir Peter Jessric I. De Veyra.
