Legislative Agenda The following set of priority legislative and policy interventions are deemed critical in realigning substantial impact on the overall performance of the infrastructure sector, such as, among others, improvements in the existing institutional and implementation capacities of the various agencies involved in infrastructure development planning and policy formulation. Table 19.7 Legislative Agenda PROPOSED LEGISLATION RATIONALE Cross-cutting Amendments to the Build-Operate-Transfer Law and its IRR Introduce reforms to address bottlenecks in PPP project implementation, further encourage private sector participation, and keep the policies attuned to the changing business environment. Transport Enactment of a National Transport Policy Help achieve a safe, secure, efficient, competitive, dependable, integrated, environmentally sustainable and people-oriented Philippine transportation system by setting policies that will serve as boundary conditions to guide all entities involved in the transportation sector in the exercise of their functions. This policy will provide the parameters for planning at the agency level, e.g., the formulation of the “Philippine Transport System Master Plan”. Enactment of a Law Creating Independent Regulatory Bodies for Railway and Maritime Transport Sectors Addresses the weak and fragmented institutional setup of concerned transport agencies by creating respective independent regulatory bodies for the railway sector and maritime transport sector, consistent with the National Transport Policy. The existing dual roles of some agencies acting as both operator and regulator of transport facilities will be effectively eliminated. Enactment of a Law Creating an Independent Body for Transport Safety and Security Places all transport safety and security matters under a single independent body that will, among others, investigate transport accidents and provide transport safety recommendations, thereby eliminating conflicting and overlapping functions of existing agencies or entities. Water Resources Enactment of a Law Creating an Apex Body for the Water Resources Sub-sector Addresses the weak and fragmented institutional setup of the water resources subsector with the creation of an apex body that will act as the single lead agency to oversee and coordinate overall policy, project and program implementation. Enactment of a Law Creating an Independent Economic or Financial Regulator for Water Supply and Sanitation Harmonizes the regulatory practices, processes, fees and standards on water supply and sanitation while addressing the overlapping functions or jurisdictions of existing regulatory entities.

PROPOSED LEGISLATION RATIONALE Energy Amendments to RA 9136, the Electric Power Industry Reform Act Enactment of an Enabling Law for the Natural Gas Industry Improve the implementation of the law’s provisions and enhances its effectiveness to address high cost of electricity, alleged market collusion, and insufficient power supply. Provides an enabling legal and regulatory framework for the natural gas industry to guide investments in the sector. Enactment of a Law Declaring Energy Projects as Projects of National Significance Expedites the timely completion of energy projects to help cushion the impact of high power rates Enactment of a Law on Energy Efficiency and Conservation Enactment of an Enabling Law to Utilize Malampaya Funds, otherwise known as the Energy Resource Funds Promotes demand-side management and incentivizes energy efficiency projects. Provides an enabling legal and regulatory framework to expand the utilization of Malampaya funds to cover universal charges for stranded contract cost/stranded debt, and rehabilitation of government energy infrastructure. ICT Infrastructure Amendments to the Public Telecommunications Policy Act of the Philippines Makes the law more responsive to technology advancements and changes in the market landscape, considering convergence of technologies; and also strengthens the roles of DICT and NTC in fostering and upholding competition in the market. Social Infrastructure Addresses the weak administrative, organizational and institutional dynamics of LGUs in implementing SWM programs or projects. Amendments to RA 9003, the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act The proposed amendments may include, among others, the mandatory creation of a local Environment and Natural Resources offices and identification of dedicated focal SWM units with corresponding organization structure, powers and functions.
