Results Package 1.1.e. Insolvency Laws and Regulations StreamHned
It is an integral part of economic competition that businesses will periodically fail. What is key is to have an updated and fair system of "rules of the game" for handling these events. The Philippines is considered to have insufficient and outdated guidelines for promptly dealing with cases of corporate illiquidity or insolvency. The law governing bankruptcy dates back to the early 1900's when the structure of business ownership and debtor-creditor relationships were quite different than they are today.
The economic cost of slow and unpredictable insolvency and corporate recovery proceedings are substantial. One cost is that the capitalist process of creative destruction so crucial to economic growth and development is slowed down and resources do not move quickly between unproductive or unprofitable uses and those that are more profitable.
To improve conditions for rapid resolution of bankruptcy cases, AGILElEGTA is providing teclmical assistance to the SEC in its efforts to establish an insolvency system that allocates risks among participants in long-term investments and protects and maximizes the value of corporate assets. It bas engaged in training activities for both the Judiciary and private sector rehabilitation receivers and liquidators to expedite and resolve debt relief petitions efficiently.

Results Package 1.1.g. Public Sector Governance Improved (Interim)
Good public sector governance, especially regulatory governance, is a key factor in creating an environment that will attract increased investments into the country. Thus, it is vital that the government minimizes the level of corruption within the bureaucracy. Corruption inevitably raises enterprise and individual transaction costs, heightens business uncertainties, subverts economic competition, and distorts policy decisions, not to mention undermining overall faith in the intentions of public servants.
In response to requests from a range of government anti-corruption agencies, including the Office of the Ombudsman, AGILElEGTA is providing technical assistance aimed at curbing corruption and improving govemance in the Philippines6
• Specifically, AGILElEGTA is supporting a series of training seminars that aims to improve the skillsof prosecutors in preparing and handling cases as well as help in the Ombudsman's campaigu to encourage people to report incidences of corruption.
IDtimately, the set of government initiatives that AGILElEGT A supports aim to make corruption a high risk, low reward activity.

Results Package 1.l.d. Loeal Government Financing Improved
With important fiscal pressure being exerted on the national budget, LGUs can not expect to get much more in the way of transfers from the national revenues in the form of the Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA). They need to develop their own sources of financing for the public services that have been devolved to them under the Local Government Code (LGC) ofl 99 1.
While the LGC created various financing mechanisms for LGUs, efficient and transparent regulatory mechanisms are not yet in place. As a result, LGU financing in the Philippines remains fragmented and confusing. Furthermore, despite revenue sharing arrangements such as the Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA), many LGUs remain unable to self· finance expenditures deemed necessary for public services and infrastructure.
AGll.ElEGT A focuses its efforts and resources on helping LGUs and national government agencies involved in the oversight oflocal government units (DOF Bureau of Local Government Finance) increase financing options available to local governments.

Excessive exposure to fiscal risk creates fiscal instability and uncertainty that is detrimental to steady economic growth. There are a number of ways in which public sector fiscal risk exposure grows.

Efforts to slleamllne and speed up the procurement process got a big boost with the approval 01 the implementing rules and regulations (IRRs) of the Government Procurement Refonn Act (GPRA or Republic Act 9184). President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo signed the IRR on September 18,2003.
As mandated by the GPRA, the Government Pl!)CUrement Policy Board (GPPS) and the Joint Congressional Oversight Committee fonnuleted the IRRs. The Secretary 01 the Department of Budget and Management (D8M) chairs the GPP8.
WIth the IRRs in place, the country now has a single set of rules for procurement acIivities a) that are fully-domestically funded; b) involving goods and services, infrastructure projects and consulting services; c) starting from procurement planning to contract implementation d) of all government entities, including local government units.
The GPP8 has begun to train procurement olffcers of different government entities to ensure the strict implementation of the GPRA and its IRRs. The World 8ank-funded Procurement Watch Inc. (PWI) is also expected to begin training non-governmental organizations and professional groups in their roles as observers in the procurement process. The GPRA calls for the participation of NGO observers in all government procurement Bids and AwaRls Committee deliberations.
At the request of the GPP8, USAID-EGTA Project provided technical assistance for the fonnulation of the IRR in the fonn of legal advice, technical reviews and workshops to gather the stakeholders. At the same time, the GPSS sought assistance from the Project in crafting a procurement manual to be submitted in January 2004.

-r:l AGft F,IEGT A provided assistance to the Supc:rvision and Exll!lination Sector (SES) of the BSP in the preparation of me Risk-Focused Macual oD:supervision md examination. The ma .. ual provides the philosophy and risk assessment framewodt for assessing risks tJuvushout the financial institution. It explains the offsite SUIVeiI1ance Ir)t'.dumism for identifYing potential problems particularly in between examination periods. It defines the database ofinMmatjon that will be required to understand the risk tolerance, eultun: and inIanal and extema1 factors affecting banking institutions.
o The draft Risk-Focused Manual W1IS presented to Deputy Governor Alberto Reyes, heads/directors of the four SES Departments and the Supervisory Rc:ports and Statistics Office (SRSO) for comments. AGILElEGTA prepared a matrix of the comments, which included clarification on policy considerations to procedural and fotmatting amendments. A revised draft
.... ..,
of the manual is currently being prepared for the BSP's Supervision and Examination Sector (SES) review.
tJ AGILElEGTA began drafting the Manual of Examination for Rural Banks at the request of the BSP's SES, which considered a separate manual for rural banks to be a more effective way to help rura1 bank examiners than using the Risk Focused Supervision Manual. A separate task force will review the draft Manual of Examinations for Rural Banks.
tJ At the request of the SES, AGILEIEGTA prepared a brief study on loan sampling methodologies. Sampling is a tool used in the loan review to help examiners evaluate the qualitative and quantitative aspects of the bank's loan portfolio in order to assign an asset quality rating.
tJ SES started reviewing methodologies for loan examination to ensure a more objective process for loan review. The AGILEIEGTA study provided information on the loan sampling methodologies used by banking supervisors in the region and in the US. A report on the study undertaken was submitted to the office ofDep. Gov. Reyes for his initial comments and further instructions.
ImprOved standard for evaluation ofmarket risk q,fbanks by March 2003.
tJ AGILElEGTA's Banking Adviser lectured on the framework for developing the Foreign Banking Organization system for the BSP. The lecture included information on the development of such a system at the US Federal Reserve Bank.
tJ Another lecture was conducted at the request ofSES on the Source of Strength Assessment (SOSA). The SOSA is an important tool for understanding the operation and the risk posed by the operations of foreign banking organization.
tJ The lectures/presentations made by AGILElEGT A on the Risk Management, Operational Controls, Compliance and Asset Quality (ROCA) and SOSA led to the creation of examination forms. AGILElEGTA assisted the BSP committee in-charge of the ROCA and SOSA systems adoption, develop the Philippine Foreign Bank (PFB) Input Form which serves as:
1. a checklist for the use of examiners of foreign banks 2. an overview of the PFB's main office 3. a review of the home office system of supervision and accountins ..,..m:m and the
manner of measuring transfer risks 4. a source of information on the conditions of the operating environment of the main
office 5. a history of support for operations of foreign branches 6. a listing of banking laws 7. a history of systemic banking issues in the country of origin.

AGILFJEGTA is helping establish a fully competitive IIIlIIkct, which is crucial to iou ased investments and accelerated development. This assistance is being given through the Natioaal Telecommunications Commission (NTC), which is guiding the sector's transition to a fully deregulated and competitive market with limited regulatory intervention.

Results Package Z.Z.b. E-Commerce & Information and Communications Technology (lCT) Developed
The increased liberalization of the telecommunications industry in the Philippines has led to declining costs and better quality of communications. Predictably, this allows communicationsdependent IT -enabled services to become more competitive. Such a competitive environment is largely behind the growth in "back-office" operations such as call centers and business process outsourcing. It also carries promise for higher value added enterprises such as software development.
To build upon this new value advantage, it is important that the government provide a supportive policy and institutional environment. AGILEIEGTA is participating in government initiatives to enable the Philippines to take full advantage of opportunities in the growing global market for products and services produced, sold, or distributed via information technology and electronic commerce.
Working with the Information Technology and Electronic Commerce Council (lTECC), AGILElEGTA assists the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) in working for the creation of the necessary institutional, physical, legal, regulatory, and human structures. Its efforts are focused on the formulation of strategic directions for the ICT industry in the country.

State monopolies over grain impacts are Ibtowbacts 10 an age in which bureaucrats 'W'CR CODSicIcnd to be more knowledgeable than grain traders on how to eusure aa:ess to Il'a sonahty priced tbod grains. It was a period steeped in distrust of traders and the marketing fimction. The inefficieacy eosts as well as the eosts of distorted price signals raulting &om these policies have teDdcd to discredit state grains monopolies, which continue largely on political grounds.
For agriculture to become more productive and fanners to focus on higher value crops, the rice trade needs to be Uberalized. The economic benefit of h"beralizing the grain trade, spec:ifically rice. is great. Consumers (and this includes most people living in the countryside) would be betteroffby having access to cheaper rice.
Furthermore. public support for agriculture needs to focus on institutionalizing efftdive Sanituy Phyto-Sanitary (SPS) measures to protect plant. animal and buman life against pests and diseases and at the same time eusure that these SPS measures do not unduly restrict trade.
Inventory qfPlti/Jmljne SgMqry and Plwto-sgnitll1j' fSPSJ mm!Wf" anda!f1!RlJKlll qfyqm completed kY February 2004.
Q The Department of Agriculture (DA) sought AGILElEGTA assistance in the invc:otory and assessment of existing SPS measures and the development of a web-based SPS information system.." The assessment and information system aims to:
1. facilitate the development of more efftdive and relevant SPS measlUes that can adequately protect plant. animal and hmnan life against harmful. organisms, toxins IIIId diseases; and
2. provide transpaIency. reducing trade-restricting effects. as well as the opportuDities for corruption.

a AGILElEGTA consulted with DA agencies having some involvement in SPS measure development or enforcement, and documented their initial ideas on the planned information system. The proposed information system will include fmal existing SPS measures as well as documents related to SPS measure development, monitoring and implementation such as the following:
L risk assessment reports; 2. draft measures; 3. committee and working group recommendations; 4. list of accredited certifying bodies, laboratory facilities, and importers; 5. other country notifications; and 6. positions on proposed international or regional measures.
Depending on the contents of the document, the proposed information system will have three levels of access: (1) public, (2) all DA agencies, and (3) specific DA agency.
AGILElEGTA will help the Department of Agriculture upload existing SPS measures and documents. Once this information is tumed over to the DA, however, individual agencies will be responsible for uploading future updates and for determining the access level for the documents uploaded. The BAFPS will ensure that only the authorized agencies and staff are able to upload documents or update the information.
a AGILElEGTA gathered sample documents, estintated the volume of documents to be uploaded in the information system, and determined the appropriate system hardware. These documents will be used to create the prototype system and will be presented to the concerned DA agencies.

AGll..FJEGT A's project mmag_ent and administration componenflI provided a widHmge of support, guidance and oversight to the task order aetivities. In the tbird quarter of2003, Ibis support included the fonowing:
Overall Managemeat
Two events have been especially important in terms of overall management of AGlLElEGT A during the tbird quarter of2003: Approval by the AGll..FJEGT A Steering Committee, in August. of a new EGT A Work Statement; and notification by USAID Cootracts Office that the AGll..FJEGT A project would not have its budget fully fimded.
Steering Committee Approval ofEGTA Work Statemellt
At the request of fonner USAID AGll..E Cognizant Technical Officer (CTO), Joe Ryan, AGll..E prepared a new Work Statement for the last year of the project. This Work Statement was presc:nted to the AGll..E Steering Committee, and approved, at its September 9" meeting. Other important decisions taken during that meeting were to change the nmte of the project from AGll..E to EGT A (Ecooomic Governance Technical Assistance), and to accelerate recruitment of a homo • lI;asoo to fill the vacant private sector positioo 00 the Steering Committee. In a previous ad hoc: meeting of the Steering Committee, following the Senate Hearings on AGll..E, the Committee decided to increase the frequency of meetings from semi-mmlal to quarterly.
The decision to change the nmte of the project was made in response to evidence that pattlilCQt COUDteqHUts were finding it difficult to introduce consultants as "AGll..E consultants" giVeD the negative PR barrage that bad occurred during the February/March Senate Hearings. The change in protocols was a further reason for chmging the nmte. There have been relatively few negative reactions from the nmte change..
In order to keep con1i:tsion about the project to a minimum as the nmte changes. Ibis quarterly report explicitly refers to the project as AGll..FJEGT A. This also retJects the reality that the project began the quarter as AGll..E and ended it as EGT A. Subsequent quarterly reports will refer' only to the new nmte, EGT A.
Budget Cut
Nonnally. when the project is requested to update the Work Statemellt. the following plocedure is fonowed: Upon approval of the Work Statement the USAID Contracts Office (Office of Regional
. Procurement) requests m accompanying budget. A budget is formally submitted, reviewed (possibly modified) and ultimately approved by USAID. Upon approval of the budget. the projecl contract is formally amended or modified to reflect the new budget.
OCTOBBR. 30, 2003 ... .,.,
Following the Steering Conunittee approval of the EGTA budget, however, DAI was told by USAID that the July 14111 letter from USAID ORP responding to DAI's "75%" letter precluded the need to issue a letter requesting submission of a budget DAI was told, then (in the week following Steering Conunittee approval of the Work Statement), that a new budget should be submitted that allocated the remaining obligated-but-unspent funds. No other formal notification of the budget cut was received. DAI submitted to USAID a realigned budget that was approximately $6 million USD less than the "Final AGILE Budget" approved by ORP on August 27,2002.
