The Build Build Build program of the Duterte Administration has the potential of accelerating Philippine GDP growth from its present level of 6 to 7% to the higher range of 8 to 10%, growth rates attained by China and India when they were at similar stages of development in which we are right now and are being attained by even poorer countries like Vietnam, Myanmar and Laos today.  We have to make sure, however, that we go beyond sloganeering and are actually implementing infrastructure projects both of the public sector and of the private sector through the Public Private Partnership mode which fortunately is once again being given due importance after a short-term distraction with the so-called “hybrid model” that was problematic from the very beginning.  The Government is the worst implementor of infrastructure projects and Official Development Assistance (ODA) funding is a sure formula for more delays.  I am so glad that there is now a flowering of unsolicited proposals from the private sector for various PPP projects such as airports, railways, toll ways, sea ports, waste to energy facilities, etc.
