For more than three decades, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and the Construction Industry Authority of the Philippines (CIAP) have taken the lead in formulating relevant policies and programs to ensure that the Philippine Construction Industry constantly remains competitive both in the region and the world.

As the construction arm of DTI, CIAP is the central authority and acts at the forefront of construction policy and program formulation, development, and implementation.

Under the administration of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, we have our marching orders to create the “Golden Age of Infrastructure” under the “Build, Build, Build” program. We are ready for this undertaking.

The Philippines’ robust growth in terms of GDP in the previous year had an annual growth rate at 6.8%, translating to PhP 811.3 million. For 2017, our country’s construction workforce is at 3.4 million, and contributes 8.2% to our total domestic employment. As we enter the “Golden Age of Infrastructure,”

we are expected to utilize PhP 8.4 trillion for our country’s infrastructure projects.

The onset of this period is a clear indication that we are poised to emerge as a strong player in the economy. What’s more, the country’s surging infrastructure development has fortunately equipped our contractors, developers, designers, and end-users with various opportunities for investment, business-matching, employment-generation, and manpower development.

With the CIAP Annual Report 2016 complementing DTl’s thrust to champion business, I am confident that we will make a difference in the life of Filipinos, especially for those at the bottom of the pyramid.

Likewise, I am optimistic that CIAP will continue to lead us towards our goal of the “Golden Age of Infrastructure,” and making our collective ambition come true: creating inclusive growth that leads to shared prosperity for all.

Mabuhay!

FOREWORD

DTI SECRETARY

RAMON M. LOPEZ

“As the construction arm of DTI, CIAP is the central authority and acts at the forefront of construction policy and program formulation, development, and implementation.”

The year 2016 provided us with another opportunity for the Philippines to improve on its current economic landscape. It also blessed us with copious prospects in enabling the advancement of the construction industry in the country.

With President Rodrigo Duterte’s 0-10 point socioeconomic agenda, our dream of having a self- sustaining and inclusive growth will be much closer to reality. The Department of Trade and Industry, through the Construction Industry Authority of the Philippines, supports the Administration in its goal to ramp up infrastructure spending to account for 5% of the GDP in order to raise the quality of life for all Filipinos.

As the central authority in the Philippine construction industry, we build the builders. CIAP takes pride in continuously engaging the industry as prime movers in the ever-dynamic field of infrastructure.

CIAP and its implementing Boards offer various and upgraded services such as contractors licensing and registration, construction contract dispute resolution

and construction manpower development training opportunities that reach our clients in a nationwide scale. We are also keen on encouraging both private and public entities, local or foreign, to invest in infrastructure such as roads, ports, terminals and economic zones as it is intertwined with the current standing of our economy.

We have identified the following key factors in ensuring that the Philippines is able and ready to face the Golden Age of Infrastructure:

BUILD Strong Economic Strategies and Policies to Enable PH Construction Growth

As we enter the golden era, major projects have been planned and are currently being set out. CIAP vows to take further lucrative efforts in developing and empowering the construction industry. By and large, it is our goal to improve and craft policies that will ensure resilient and upward trend in the economy; high quality infrastructure projects; and fair competitive environment for all our local and foreign contractors.

MESSAGE RUTH B. CASTELO

CIAP UNDERSECRETARY

“As the central authority in the Philippine construction industry, we build the builders. CIAP takes pride in continuously engaging the industry as prime movers in the ever-dynamic field of infrastructure.”

BUILD the Confidence of our Construction Manpower

To build sturdy infrastructure, we need to strengthen manpower first and foremost as we recognize manpower as the construction industry’s most precious asset. CIAP’s core commitment is to instil knowledge and practical abilities to our construction personnel to carry on with their duties of building better facilities for the nation.

BUILD the Nation

Our agency’s primary goal is to contribute to nation-building. Reliable infrastructure is an indispensable element of a healthy economy. It holds together essential parts of a strong nation as it enables trade, housing for all, telecommunications, transport, tourism and employment. In conformity with national goals, CIAP continues to promote, regulate and accelerate the growth and development of the Philippine construction Industry.This has been a busy and productive year for all of us but we will not stop there. This Annual Report reflects our strong commitment to forge ahead and BUILD, BUILD, BUILD!

Spearhead initiatives for the growth of the construction industry, through regulation, human resource capacity building, dispute resolution and domestic and overseas program development.

We are the central authority of the Philippine construction industry in the forefront of construction policy and program formulation, development and implementation.

Promotion and Capacity Development Program

In its effort to continuously market, promote, and showcase the capabilities of the Filipino construction companies, the POCB participates in construction trade fairs, exhibits and similar fora. In 2016, the POCB participated in the annual World Building and Construction Exposition (Worldbex) Construction Trade Fair on 15-20 March 2016 at the Philippine Trade Training Center (PTTC) in Pasay City. POCB’s participation in the fair aimed to continuously open the door for international integration with 500 foreign and local companies, composed of the industry’s established players and the up-and-coming innovators, showcasing their products and services.

In carrying out its function of undertaking measures to develop the Filipino construction industry with the objective of strengthening their competitiveness, capability and reputation in the world market, the POCB conducted the following seminars:• Awareness Seminar on Regional

Comprehensive Economic Cooperation (RCEP) and ASEAN Plus 1 Dialogue Partners Free Trade Agreements (ASEAN+1 FTAs) for Small and Medium Players in the Construction Industry

» The seminar generated feedbacks from the participants on how the said ASEAN initiatives impact and affect their businesses; as well as educated them on the ASEAN and global standards, practices, trends, regimes, opportunities, and challenges in order to remain competitive in the overseas construction industry

• Orientation Seminar in Mobilizing Overseas Filipino Workers by Construction Companies conducted by the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA)

» The seminar provided information to the participating construction companies on the latest POEA rulings, assistance and services extended to POCB-registered companies particularly the re-affirmation of the Special Window Lane for POCB-registered companies

» It established cooperation among POEA, POCB and POCB-registered companies on the deployment and employment of repatriated workers for the Middle East

» It formulated arrangement between POCB and the POEA on the requirement of POCB Certification of Existing Overseas Project

• 5th Philippine Overseas Construction Symposium

» The symposium raised the awareness and interest, among the participants composed mainly of POCB- registered companies, in the construction business opportunities and promotes overseas construction activities in the Pacific-Melanesia Region particularly in the countries of Fiji, Solomon Islands, and Papua New Guinea.

» It discussed the concept about the recently approved Quadruple “A” category of the Philippine Contractors Accreditation Board (PCAB) which allows 100% foreign companies to be issued regular licenses, as well as the global practice of Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC)

» It introduced the Construction Export Information System (CEIS), which is the information system automating the processes of the POCB and eventually integrating databases with PCAB licensing and registration, for the efficient delivery of POCB services to its stakeholders and clients

Policy Formulation and Market Development

Pursuing the proposed cooperation in the Construction Industry Development between the Philippines and the Republic of Turkey, the CIAP thru POCB submitted to the DTI-BITR, its updated and legally reviewed Memorandum of Understanding between DTI-CIAP and Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Turkey as an initiative in the construction services sector of the Philippine-Turkey Technical Economic Cooperation (PH-TR TEC)

The POCB of CIAP, representing the Construction Services Sector participated and provided inputs in the 5th and Final Round of Negotiations of the Philippine-European Free Trade Association (PH-EFTA) Free Trade Agreement (FTA) in February 2016 at the Manila Hotel, Manila, in pursuit of its function to recommend/participate in the negotiation of bilateral or multi-lateral agreements to facilitate the entry of Filipino companies in the overseas market, to protect the interest of Filipino contractors and workers operating overseas, and for better treatment of Filipino companies and workers. The PH-EFTA FTA was signed on 28 April 2016 in Bern, Switzerland by the Ministers and other Representatives from the Philippines and the Member States of the EFTA namely Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland.

19

20The four (4) EFTA member states have fully liberalized their Construction Services Sectors which have the most advanced energy sector, particularly offshore (oil drilling and exploitation) industry, including building, construction, shipbuilding, geothermal and hydro-electric power productions, and in the areas of seismic and drilling equipment, underwater construction and floating production solutions.

The EFTA allows entry and temporary presence without economic needs test for intra-corporate transferees covering executives/managers, specialists, business visitors and contractual service suppliers/sellers in construction and related engineering sectors. They are keen to recruit highly skilled workers in building and construction and engineering due to skills shortages and gaps in their workforce. They also offered opportunities for installers and maintainers in construction and related engineering services.

The EFTA specifically granted the Philippines market access and better Filipino treatment in the following sectors:

• General Construction Work for Buildings, General Construction Work for Civil Engineering, Installation & Assembly Work, Building Completion & Finishing Work, Pre-Erection Work at Construction Sites, Special Trade Construction Work, Renting Services Relating to equipment for construction/demolition of buildings/civil engineering works with operator, Foundation Work (including pile driving), Concrete work, Steel Bending & Erection including Welding.

In the same manner, the Philippines offered the four (4) EFTA Member States market access and better treatment in the following construction services sector, after a consultation meeting with the construction industry stakeholders on 07 May 2015 and as approved by the CIAP Board thru its Board Resolution Nos. 03, s. 2016 and 22, s. 2015:

• Site formation and Clearance Services for Geothermal Drilling Services under the Energy Related Services Sector

(CBR No. 03, s. 2016) in addition to the Demolition Work, Construction work for civil engineering for Long Distance Pipelines, Communication and Power Lines (Cables), Other Special Trade Construction Work (e.g. grave excavation, house moving), Gas Fitting Construction Work, and Renting Services related to equipment for construction or demolition of buildings or civil engineering works with operation (CBR No. 12, s. 2015)

Marketing and Development Program

Implementing marketing effort to develop construction opportunities in the overseas market to be availed of by Filipino construction companies, the POCB conducted researches and country profiles of identified countries and gather updated market information and construction business opportunities for more aggressive marketing strategy. For the year 2016, the POCB prepared market research and profile for the countries of Japan, Nepal, and Papua New Guinea, the countries of interest identified by the Board to explore construction opportunities by conducting possible outbound construction mission.

Coordinating with government and relevant private agencies for support and direction in obtaining information on construction business opportunities the POCB receives projects referrals and advisories from the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), pertinent foreign embassies in the Philippines, Philippine embassies abroad. For this year, 2016, the POCB receives and disseminated eleven (11) project referrals and advisories from Hongkong, Bangladesh, India, Vietnam, Japan, and China on construction information and business opportunities provided by Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), Philippine embassies, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLITT) of Japan, to all POCB registered companies, consultants, Philippine Constructors Association, Inc. (PCA), Council of Engineering Consultants of the Philippines (CECOPHIL), and participants in previous outbound construction missions conducted by POCB.
