Determine who is responsible for the planning, design, construction, and
maintenance of the different classes of roads in your locality or in the
Philippines (national roads, municipal roads, local streets, and barangay
roads). 

 The Department of Public works and Highways are the one who
is responsible on implementing the policy of the state in
continuously developing technology for ensuring safety of all
infrastructure and securing for all the public works and
highways the highest efficiency and the most appropriate
quality of construction. As the primary engineering and
construction arm of the government, the DPWH is responsible
for the planning, design, construction and maintenance of
national highways, major flood control systems and the other
public works.

Determine also how much money is expended in a typical year for

highway development. What are the sources of funds?

 As of the year 2020, the government allocated P41 Trillion of

national budget for infrastructures, it is one of the highest part
of the national budget allocated along with education. DPWH
received an allotment with a total of 345,028 Billion pesos, it is
used for the planning, design, construction and maintenance of
national highways, major flood control systems and the other
public works. These infrastructure projects will be financed,
through 3 main sources: government’s budget; Official
 Development Assistance (ODA); and private sector
participation. The primary source of infrastructure financing in
the Philippines remains to be the public budget. ODA runs
second among the identified sources for infrastructure
financing in the country. As of December 2015, the total ODA
amounted to $15.71 billion, consisting of 73 loans ($12.66
billion) and 460 grants ($3.05 billion). A third source of
financing would be private sector participation. One primary
avenue is through the Government’s Public-Private
Partnerships (PPP) Program, governed by the Philippine Build-
Operateand-Transfer Law, Republic Act No. 6957 as amended
by R.A. 7718.
