Abstract: Abstract This chapter presents the current status of infrastructure development in the Philippines which lags behind ASEAN peers, and the achievements for PPP, which is relatively positive. As case studies, in order to further discuss the achievements in PPP in the Philippines and advantages and disadvantages of PPP modality in general, two PPP projects are reviewed, one in the water work and another in the railway sector. In regard to these two case studies, the Water Concession project in Metro Manila has been regarded as one of the successful PPP projects not only in the Philippines but globally as one of the model PPP projects in the water sector. Although the project has delivered benefits to residents of Metro Manila over the years, this chapter points out that there are still some issues including the issue of water source development. Metro Rail Transit Line 3 project, on the other hand, is regarded as failed PPP project that requires continued government subsidies and defects of the railway system. These cases well illustrate both the advantages and disadvantages, complexities, and challenging nature of PPP. The case of MRT 3 also explains that PPP does not bring “free money” as discussed in Chap. 2 .
