PREFACE
In response to the request of the Government of the Republic of the Philippines, the Government of
Japan decided to conduct the “Study of Master Plan on High Standard Highway Network
Development in the Republic of the Philippines” and entrusted the Study to the Japan International
Cooperation Agency (JICA).
JICA selected and dispatched a Study Team headed by Mr. Mitsuo Kiuchi of CTI Engineering
International Co., Ltd. from April 5, 2009 to May 20, 2010.
The Study Team held discussions with the engineers of the Department of Public Works and
Highways (DPWH) and other officials of the Philippine Government and conducted field surveys, data
gathering and analysis, formulation of Development Strategy for High Standard Highway Network,
formulation of High Standard Highway Master Plan, Public‐Private Partnership (PPP) Roadmap for
project implementation and strengthening of DPWH’s capability to implement projects. The Study
Team also held trainings, workshops and stakeholders meeting to solicit opinions from different
stakeholders. Upon returning to Japan, the Study Team prepared this final report which summarized
the results of the Study.
I hope that this report will contribute to the development of high standard highway network,
promotion of proposed projects and to the enhancement of friendly relationship between our two
countries.
Finally, I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the officials concerned of the Government of the
Republic of the Philippines for their close cooperation and assistance extended to this Study.
