Geronimo Law: PPP Legal Expert in the Philippines and Unsolicited Proposal Consultant

‍

The Philippine public-private partnership (PPP) market has entered a new chapter. With the enactment of the PPP Code of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 11966), the various modalitiesfor infrastructure delivery have been consolidated, modernised, and aligned with international standards.

‍

A PPP transaction is, at its core, a long-term contract for the delivery of a public service. Get the structure wrong, and lenders withdraw, regulators object, and communities resist. Get it right, and a project moves from concept to financial close on schedule. That is why PPP legal expertise in the Philippines is its own discipline, sitting at the intersection of public procurement, project finance, regulatory compliance, environmental law, and land tenure.

‍

What the PPP Code Requires

‍

RA 11966 unifies the framework for both solicited and unsolicited proposals across all implementing agencies. It tightens procurement disciplines, refines the rules for unsolicited proposals and the Swiss challenge, codifies risk allocation principles, clarifies the pathway for NG- or LGU-led PPPs, and introduces structured dispute resolution. Practitioners must read it alongside its Implementing Rules, sectoral statutes (solid waste, energy, telecommunications), the Local Government Code, and a developing body of Supreme Court jurisprudence on government contracts.
