Download the attached document and discuss the following:

1. What is Medium-Term Public Investment Program (MTPIP) and its linkage to budget formulation in
Philippine budgeting?
The MTPIP contains development capital forming public investments that contribute specifically to the
country’s productive capacity and in achieving the MTPDP goals and targets in general. It excludes
administrative capital expenditures, i.e., activities which are in support of regular agency operations such
as improvements in existing office buildings and replacement of office equipment. It does not also
account for debt payments. The MTPIP contains the priority programs and projects of national
government (NG) line agencies, government-owned and controlled corporations (GOCCs) and
government financial institutions (GFIs) including those implemented with PSP and in partnership with
local government units (LGUs). It does not cover public investments to be financed purely from LGU
revenues and independent projects of the private sector including those of non-governmental
organizations (NGOs). Thus, the MTPIP is only a subset of public expenditures or of the total budget.
Strategic measures introduced to improve the linkage of the planning, programming, and budgeting
processes of the government will be continued. These measures include: monitoring and reporting the
achievement of the targets reflected in the Philippine Development Plan-Results Matrices (PDP-RM)
through the Socioeconomic Report (SER); synchronizing the programming and budgeting guidelines and
calendars; and further enhancing the PIP Online (PIPOL) System as a project database and monitoring
system and exploring its possible linkage with the Online Submission of Budget Proposal System (OSBPS)
used by DBM in the annual budget preparation. Through the annual updating of the PIP using the PIPOL
System, the agency’s preparation of inputs for monitoring of priority programs and projects (PAPs) under
the PIP will be facilitated. Accomplishments in terms of achieving the desired outcomes and expected
outputs identified in the PDP and RM, as well as key challenges and recommendations on ways forward,
will be monitored. This information will form part of the SER to be prepared by the National Economic
and Development Authority (NEDA) Secretariat.
Pursuant to Section 4 (PDP and PIP Monitoring and Reporting) of Executive Order (EO) No. 27, s. 2017,2
results of monitoring the PIP implementation shall be reported regularly to the appropriate NEDA Board
Committees, existing Cabinet Clusters, and Inter-Agency Committees of the government through the
NEDA Secretariat.
In terms of instrument, the PIPOL System will be the primary monitoring tool in ensuring the efficient and
timely implementation of priority PAPs over the medium term. The PIPOL System will be continuously
enhanced to be more user-friendly and responsive. The current version of the PIPOL System already
reflects initial enhancements, which among others include: improvement in the report generation
module of the NEDA Secretariat to better facilitates the validation process; and auto-generation of
agency’s endorsement letter, which helped ensure agency’s accountability in its submission. Additional
modules will also be introduced in the future to facilitate the tracking of progress of major programs and
projects of the government.
 Lastly, technical coordination meetings between NEDA and DBM are currently ongoing to discuss the
operationalization of the linkage between programming and budgeting processes through the
establishment of an interface between OSBPS and PIPOL System. The proposed system interface will
allow NEDA and DBM to monitor which priority PAPs in the PIP were included in the agency budget
proposals, NEP, and General Appropriations Act (GAA).

-Building Safe and Secure Communities

There are 20 programs and projects (PAPs) with total investment targets of ₱351,895.52 million aimed at
expanding people’s access to affordable, adequate, safe, and secure shelter in well-planned communities. A
total of 927,541 permanent housing units are targeted to be constructed, with 34,900 housing units
financed, and transitional resettlement assistance and additional community facilities provided within
2017-2022.

Majority of the PAPs were proposed by the National Housing Authority (NHA) under its housing production
programs, namely: Resettlement for Informal Settler Families (ISFs), Vertical Developments (Low-Rise and High-
Rise Buildings), Armed Forces of the Philippines and Philippine National Police (AFP/PNP) Housing Program,
Settlements Upgrading, Cost Recoverable Housing (Employee’s Housing), High-Impact Projects (Mixed-Used
Development), and Housing Assistance Program for Calamity Victims. Seven projects under Resettlement for ISFs
alone are expected to deliver a total of 291,039 housing units, while 117,425 permanent housing units are targeted
under the Housing Assistance Program for Calamity Victims within 2017-2022.

-Vigorously Advancing Science, Technology, and Innovation

There are a total of 75 programs and projects (PAPs) under Chapter 14 for the period 2017-2022, with a
total investment targets of ₱101,152.13 million. More than three quarters (84.70%) of investment targets
will contribute to enhancing the creative capacity for knowledge and technology generation, acquisition,
and adoption. About 7.49 percent of the total investment targets will support the increase in STI utilization
in agriculture, industry, and services sectors. The remaining portion of the total investments will support
technology-based start-ups, enterprises, and spin-offs (7.15%), and strengthen collaboration among actors
in the STI ecosystem (0.67%). Other investments in STI are reflected in the PAPs of other chapters
(e.g., Chapters 8, 9, and 19, etc.) in recognition of the role of STI in attaining the development goals of
these sectors.

-Ensuring Sound Macroeconomic Policy

BIR, which is under the Department of Finance (DOF), will be implementing 11 PAPs with
investment targets for 2017-2022 amounting to ₱ 898.47 million, while the DTI will be
implementing two PAPs with the amount of ₱ 490.81 million. Out of the 13 PAPs under the
Chapter, 12 PAPs will be implemented nationwide, while one project will be region-specific.

In terms of mode of implementation, 11 PAPs will be implemented through local funding,

while one will be carried out through official development assistance (ODA). Based on the
project readiness, only one project is to be submitted to the approving body, while the rest are
ongoing.

-Attaining Just and Lasting Peace

The strategies laid out in the PDP for attaining just and lasting peace are supported with two
major programs with total investment targets amounting to ₱8,726.50 million over the medium
term (refer to Table 17.2). These programs were identified in support to the implementation of
the peace process in the Bangsamoro, as well as in the protection and development of conflict-
affected and conflict-vulnerable communities nationwide.

-Ensuring Security, Public Order, and Safety

Thirty-two priority programs and projects (PAPs), with total investment targets for the period
2017-2022 amounting to ₱104,060.18 million, will be implemented to contribute to the
achievement of the aforementioned sectoral outcomes. Majority (59.38%) or 19 out of the total
PAPs will support the strategies on the government’s campaign against criminality and illegal
drugs, and on ensuring public safety. The rest are geared towards protecting the country’s
sovereignty and territorial integrity, and ensuring the safety of OFs.
