CITY ORDINANCE NO. 2017‐007 
WHEREAS, under Section 20, Article II of the 1987 Constitution, the “State
recognizes the indispensable role of the private sector, encourages private
enterprise, and provides incentives to needed investments”;

WHEREAS, the private sector participates in infrastructure, development and social
service‐related projects of the State and local government units (LGUs) through
what is popularly known as Public‐Private Partnerships (PPPs);

WHEREAS, the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Legal Opinion
No. 8, S. 2014 declared that “there is no specific statute on PPP nor guidelines on
joint ventures for local governments” and that a “duly enacted local legislation (PPP
Code) must be complied with in undertaking (its) PPP projects.”

WHEREAS, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ) Opinion No. 18, S. 2012,
“xxx local governments may enact their own Public‐Private Partnership (PPP) Code
or omnibus ordinance outlining, among others, all applicable modalities. xxx A local
government, through an enabling ordinance, is free to act to address local concerns,
even without an enabling ordinance, provided no statute will be infringed”;

WHEREAS, in Legal Opinion No. 10, S. 2014, the DILG affirmed the above‐quoted
DOJ Opinion and further said that, “the LGUs’ discretion xxx is consistent with the
state policy of local autonomy and is in line with the operative principle of
decentralization and the national goal of propelling social and economic growth and
development through the active participation of the private sector”;

WHEREAS, in furtherance of and consistent with local autonomy, fiscal autonomy,
the principle of subsidiarity, public good and welfare, general welfare, and full
autonomy over proprietary powers, the City is free, provided no statute is violated,
to adopt its definition of a PPP undertaking and prescribe the requirements,
procedures and conditions for City PPPs, and incorporate these in an operative
framework; and

WHEREAS, having a framework in ordinance form will ensure and facilitate
consistency, integrity, reliability, sustainability, accountability and transparency,
and enforceability;

WHEREAS, in view of the foregoing, there is a need to amend City Ordinance No.
2014‐051 otherwise known as the “City of Makati PPP Code”;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ENACTED, AS IT IS HEREBY ENACTED BY THE
SANGGUNIANG PANLUNGSOD OF MAKATI, METRO MANILA, BY VIRTUE OF THE
POWERS VESTED IN IT BY LAW, IN SESSI0N ASSEMBLED, that:

Section 1. The amendments to City Ordinance No. 2014‐051, otherwise known as
the “City of Makati PPP Code”, indicated in Annex “A” hereof are approved.

Section 2. All provisions of City Ordinance No. 2014‐051 and other ordinances and
resolutions or parts thereof inconsistent with the foregoing amendments to City
Ordinance No. 2014‐051 are hereby repealed or modified accordingly;

Section 3. All provisions of City Ordinance No. 2014‐051 not inconsistent with the
foregoing amendments to City Ordinance No. 2014‐051 remain in force and effect.

Section 4. A copy of this Ordinance be furnished all offices, departments and
agencies concerned for their information, guidance and reference.
