SECRETARYS
MESSAGE
The year 2016 marked a period of transition as we
witnessed the end of an administration and ushered
in the beginning of a new one. Amid this change,
NEDA remained resolute in the performance of its
mandate and continued to build on the gains and
faced the challenges that emerged by ensuring
stability, enriching reforms, and sharpening
strategies to make sure that public interest,
especially that of the poor and disadvantaged,
is at the heart of the governments plans and
projects.
The Philippine economy proved resilient in

2016, managing to grow by 6.9 percent despite
political transition issues, a series of typhoons
that battered the country, and other domestic
and international challenges.
NEDA launched Ambisyon Natin 2040, the

collective long-term vision and aspirations
of the Filipino people for themselves and for
the country in the next 25 years. This vision
is also the answer to the clamor for a long-
term perspective in development planning to
sustain efforts, even with changes in political
administrations, to provide a matatag,
maginhawa, at panatag na buhay para sa
lahat (strongly-rooted, comfortable, and
secure life for all).
I am also pleased to report that we have

started to build the foundation to realize
this long-term vision with the formulation
of the Philippine Development Plan
(PDP) 2017-2022. It is the first
medium-term plan geared towards

ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The Philippine economy has proven robust enough to weather domestic and international challenges,
managing to grow by 6.9 percent in 2016. This is along the high end of the governments target of 6.0-7.0
percent growth rate. This also brought the seven-year moving average of real gross domestic product or
GDP growth rate to 6.3 percentthe highest since 1978. Moreover, the Philippines was one of the Asian
economies, including China and Vietnam, that enjoyed a consistently high GDP growth rate in 2016.
Despite these milestones, the challenge of making growth more inclusive remains.

Our Vision, Our Ambition
AmBisyon Natin 2040 represents the collective long-term vision and aspirations of the Filipino people for
themselves and for the country in the next 25 years. It describes the kind of life that people want to live, and
how the country will be by 2040.
By 2040, the Philippines is a prosperous middle-class society where no one is poor.

People live long and healthy lives and are smart and innovative. The country is a
high-trust society where families thrive in vibrant, culturally diverse, and resilient
communities.
AmBisyon Natin 2040 is the result of a long-term visioning process that began in 2015. Efforts to create
awareness of and buy-in to the Vision kicked off in March 2016 through an online media campaign led by
NEDA. This was after the public consultations and the conduct of a nationally-representative survey to
determine the aspirations of the Filipino people.
NEDA facilitated 42 focus group discussions (FGDs) nationwide, which were participated in by
representatives from the youth, fisherfolk, formal workers, farmers, urban poor, disaster survivors,
indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities, families of overseas workers, local migrants, and government
workers.
NEDA-ADB Youth Forum on AmBisyon Natin 2040

From the findings of the FGDs, NEDA commissioned a national survey (with a sample size of 10,000) to
ensure that the results are nationally represented. In both the FGDs and national survey, respondents were
limited to Filipinos aged between 15 and 50 years old. To understand whether the Vision is achievable,
and what it will take to get there, a number of technical studies were also commissioned in key thematic
areas of development through the support of the Asian Development Bank. The exercise benefitted from the
guidance of an Advisory Committee composed of government, private sector, academe, and civil society.
On October 11, 2016, President Rodrigo Duterte signed Executive Order No. 5 which adopted AmBisyon
Natin 2040 as the countrys long-term vision and guide for development planning. Specifically, EO 5 states
that the four Philippine Development Plans to be crafted and implemented until 2040 shall be anchored on
AmBisyon Natin 2040. Subsequently, Memorandum Circular No. 12, which directed the formulation of the
Philippine Development Plan and the Public Investment Program for 2017-2022 and where these should
be anchored on the Vision, was also communicated. Following its adoption, AmBisyon Natin 2040 was
formally launched by the NEDA through an expo on November 15, 2016.
Stakeholders Engaged
In 2016, the NEDA Development Information Staff led and coordinated 58 AmBisyon Natin 2040-related
events and activities nationwide that directly reached almost 10,000 stakeholders from the government,
private sector, civil society, youth and students, academe, and the media. Of these stakeholders, 90 percent
expressed their belief that the Vision is achievable by 2040 and that they understood their role in realizing it.
The same percentage stated their understanding of AmBisyon Natin 2040 through the information provided
to them by the NEDA and were inspired to share the Vision.
Partnerships were also built with various organizations and regional government line agencies to expand the
reach of AmBisyon Natin 2040s information, education, and communication (IEC) campaign and materials.
These events and activities in the form of fora, workshops, school competitions, briefings, or presentations
riding on other government agencies meetings and events were spearheaded by the NEDA-Central Office
(NCO) and the NEDA-Regional Offices (NROs) through the NEDA Research and Development Fund.

Media Coverage Generated
Since its inception, AmBisyon Natin 2040 has been featured in various media. In print, online publications,
and television, AmBisyon Natin 2040 was covered by almost 300 articles or features.
Notably, the project generated buzz in social media, particularly in Facebook and YouTube. The AmBisyon
Natin 2040 Facebook page gained around 65,000 page likes and engaged two million users from March to
December 2016. During the same period, its eight videos uploaded in the NEDA YouTube channel received
a total of 1.2 million views.
In the last quarter of 2016, three animated AmBisyon Natin 2040 videos were also shown in nine Metro
Manila cinemas, eight television stations and several cable channels for free. This was made possible by
NEDAs partnership with the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board, the Federation of
International Cable TV and Telecommunications Association of the Philippines and the Philippine Cable
Television Association.

Awards Received
In collaboration with Dentsu Philippines, Inc., the AmBisyon Natin 2040 online videos won a gold
Boomerang in the 2016 Boomerang Awards and two silver and one bronze awards in the 2016 Araw Values
Awards.
The Boomerangs, organized by the Internet and Mobile Marketing Association of the Philippines, has
honored Philippine advertisers and agencies whose campaigns and programs exemplified digital marketing
effectiveness since its inception in 2008. The Araw Values Awards, on the other hand, is the flagship
project of the Advertising Foundation of the Philippines and is one of the most significant award shows in
the advertising industry as it inspires self-reflection among its practitioners, promoting positive values in
advertising while recognizing Filipino creative excellence.

other government offices that submit program and project proposals for ICC approval. These amended
provisions include the following:
Increased the minimum project cost threshold for ICC review of major capital projects from the
current 1 billion project cost;
Updated the Social Discount Rate (SDR) from 15 percent to a lower rate of 10 percent;
Modified the Generic Preferred Risk Allocation Matrix (GPRAM) that lists the risk allocation,
including risk mitigation measures, for consideration of the implementation agencies in the
development and implementation of their PPP projects, among others.
Integrated the HGDG for Project Development, Implementation and Monitoring and Evaluation in
the ICC process;
Revised the level of approvals regarding changes in project scope/cost, extension of project
implementation or loan grant validity, and change in project financing of NEDA Board-approved
projects; and
Revised the current ICC Guidelines and Procedures on Regional Development Council
endorsement as part of requisite documents.

Briefing on CIP Annual Updating under the PIP using the PIP Online (PIPOL) System

Public Investment Program Online (PIPOL) System
NEDA launched the PIPOL system to improve the governments investment programming and
monitoring of priority programs and projects. It is a new online database system for government
projects proposed for inclusion in the Public Investment Program (PIP) including the Core Investment
Programs and Projects (CIPs) of the PIP and the Three-Year Rolling Infrastructure Program (TRIP).
It also allows NEDA to review and validate agency submissions, as well as generate reports. The
participation of government agencies and corporations in the use of the system will facilitate the
programming and budgeting process for the programs and projects at the Development Budget
Coordination Committee (DBCC), Committee on Infrastructure (INFRACOM), ICC, and Congress.

Based on the NEDA Secretariats validation of the national government offices submissions in the
PIPOL System, a report on the CIP of the PIP was prepared and submitted to the ICC and Department
of Budget and Management (DBM) for consideration in the 2018 budget call.
Three-Year Rolling Infrastructure Program (TRIP)
To meet investment targets for public infrastructure, INFRACOM approved the reinstitution of
the TRIP in the national budget process starting 2017. Following the INFRACOMs approval, the
DBM-NEDA Joint Memorandum Circular No. 2016-01 or Policy Guidelines and Procedures for the
Formulation of the TRIP was issued on January 29, 2016 to apprise all departments/agencies on the
policy guidelines for the formulation and development of the TRIP.
TRIP is a three-year programming and budgeting document containing priority infrastructure programs
and projects proposed for National Government funding. It forms the basis of the DBM for the
determination of the infrastructure programs and projects to be included in the National Budget of
the Government. It also aims to further synchronize and streamline the governments infrastructure
planning, programming, and budgeting processes and ensure that the respective agencies budget
ceilings are allocated for priority infrastructure programs and projects that are responsive to the
outcomes of the PDP. These projects include basic infrastructure services and facilities linked to
climate resiliency, competitiveness, agricultural sustainability, governance, security, and bridging gaps
in poor, hazard prone, and emerging growth areas. In 2016, INFRACOM issued a call for submissions
and processed TRIP 2018-2019 submissions by various government agencies.
