In accordance with the provisions of the IRR of RA 7718, local approving bodies are the Local Development Council (LDC), the Regional Development Council (RDC) and the Local Sanggunian. The submission of a local PPP project for approval of these bodies depends on the nature, scope and cost of the project following Rule 2, Section 2.7 (b) of the IRR of the amended BOT Law. Local PPP projects which are to be endorsed to the ICC and NEDA Board should comply with the review and appraisal requirements, guidelines and processes of the national approving bodies.
