Classroom PPP under study as pipeline dips

Manila Bulletin

September 5, 2025

Three major national projects have been delisted from the Marcos Jr. administration’s public-private partnership (PPP) pipeline, bringing the total value of infrastructure to be funded by tycoons’ deep pockets down to P2.77 trillion to date.

Documents shared by the PPP Center with reporters on Wednesday, Sept. 3, showed an updated total cost across 229 projects that is lower than the P2.86 trillion worth in July.

The PPP Center emphasized that the change in the project pipeline is due to unsolicited proposals and new submissions from implementing agencies (IA).

The PPP Center identified three projects that were removed from the list of national projects.

The P320-million Philippine Retirement Authority (PRA) Digitalization Project was delisted.

Also removed was the P29.39-billion 3,000-tons-per-day (TPD) Waste-to-Energy (WtE) Facility under the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA).

The Sanitary Landfill (SLF)-WtE Project in New Clark City under the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) was likewise taken out of the pipeline.
