Transportation Secretary Jaime J. Bautista on Wednesday, April 12 ,2023, bared government plans to privatize 10 regional airports, including the privatization of the operation and maintenance of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport with the Asian Development Bank providing technical assistance in identifying the best qualified airport operator.
In the aviation sector alone, "Apart from fund sourcing to upgrade, modernize and expand airports, we also need legislative action to separate the regulatory and operator functions of airport authorities," he pointed out. Today, there are 90 airports nationwide but only half operate commercial flights. These include nine international airports in Manila, Clark, Mactan, Puerto Princesa, Davao, Kalibo, Laoag, Iloilo and Bohol.
On the other hand, right-of-way remains as the "foremost challenge in the road sector," Bautista maintained. For its part, the P4.7 billion PITX is "our first integrated and multi-modal terminal in southern Metro Manila." As of December 2022, some 2,274 cooperatives, corporations and other consolidated companies hold 4,682 consolidated franchises and operate 127,807 PUV units.With regards to the Rail Sector, "a significant chunk of DOTr's 2023 budget was allocated to accelerate big-ticket rail projects to move more people and goods."
Another flagship rail project, the P488.4 billion Metro Manila Subway from Valenzuela to Bicutan, has broken ground for its Camp Aguinaldo station in February. Other rail projects in the pipeline include a Skytrain between Fort Bonifacio and Makati; MRT 10 and MRT 11; LRT 6 in Cavite; a Cebu Monorail; and the Metro Manila Urban Cable Car project.
