The document discusses transportation and oil industries in the Philippines. It describes the major modes of transportation which include road, rail, marine, and air. Land transportation relies heavily on jeepneys and various expressways. Water transportation utilizes ferries and ports. The two largest oil companies are the state-owned Philippine National Oil Company and the private Petron Corporation, which operates an oil refinery. Transportation infrastructure is still developing due to the country's geography and past underinvestment, but the government is working to improve roads, rail, and airports.

The Private Sector


The private sector is the driver of growth in most ASEAN economies. It is therefore expected to play a significant
role in the process of economic integration in ASEAN. In the Philippines, the private sector has dominated the
economy, contributing about 95 percent of GDP, but it has not lived up to its potential. Unlike other economies in
East Asia, the Philippines did not experience the anticipated private sector participation and economic
transformation that accompany the openness model of development. The ASEAN Economic Community is an
extension of this paradigm. Philippine-based firms are found to have low utilization of arrangements in the ASEAN
free trade agreement and private sector investment as a percentage of GDP is observed to be relatively low and to
have consistently declined since 2000. This paper seeks to explain the reasons for the Philippines relatively weak
private sector response to the opportunities provided by greater openness and deepening regional economic
integration. The paper cites some factors which include structural supply-side constraints and institutional
weaknesses. Some of these factors are extraneous to the private sector but some emanate from the behavior of the
private sector. These factors are expected to mitigate the impact of policies related to establishment of the AEC.
However, there are pockets of success as a result of move towards the AEC such as the launch of the National
Single Window.

Transportation industry
The transportation industry is a vast ecosystem which covers everything related to the major modes of transport,
namely, road, rail, marine, and air transport. This industry includes goods as well as passenger transport.

is responsible for moving people, animals, and goods from one location to another, whether by land, air, or sea..

Transportation in the Philippines is relatively underdeveloped, partly due to the country's mountainous areas and
scattered islands, and partly as a result of the government's persistent underinvestment in the nation's
infrastructure. In recent years, however, the Philippine government has been pushing to improve the transportation
system in the country through various infrastructure projects.

Land transport is the transport or movement of people, animals or goods from one location to another location on
land. The two main forms of land transport are rail transport and road transport..

Expressways
The Philippines has numerous expressways and most of them are located in the main island of the country, Luzon. The
first expressway systems in the country are the North Luzon Expressway formerly known as North Diversion Road and
the South Luzon Expressway, formerly known as South Super Highway. Both were built in the 1970s, during the
presidency of Ferdinand Marcos.
The North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) is a 4 to 8-lane limited-access toll expressway that connects Metro Manila to
the provinces of the Central Luzon region.
The South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) is another important expressway in the country, it serves the southern part of
Luzon. The expressway is a network of two expressways that connects Metro Manila to the provinces of the Region
IV-A in the southern part of Luzon

Jeepneys
Jeepneys are the most popular means of public transportation in the Philippines They were originally made
from US military jeeps left over from World War II and are known for their flamboyant decoration and crowded
seating. They have become a ubiquitous symbol of Filipino culture.

Water transportation
Water transportation is the intentional movement of water over large distances. Methods of transportation fall
into three categories:
River ferries
The Pasig River Ferry Service is a river ferry service that serves Metro Manila, it is also the only water-based
transportation that cruised the Pasig River. The entire ferry network had 17 stations operational and 2 lines. The first
line was the Pasig River Line which stretched from Plaza Mexico in Intramuros, Manila to Nagpayong station
in Pasig. The second line was the Marikina River Line which served the Guadalupe station in Makati up to Santa
Elena station in Marikina.

Ferry services
Because it is an island nation, ferry services are an important means of transportation. A range of ships are used,
from large cargo ships to small pump boats. Some trips last for a day or two on large overnight ferris such as those
operated by 2GO Travel while other trips can last for less than 15 minutes on small, open-air pump boats such as
those that cross the Iloilo Strait.
There are numerous shipping companies in the Philippines. Notable companies include 2GO Travel (the successor
to Superferry and Negros Navigation) and Trans-Asia Shipping Lines.[15]

Ports and harbors


The busiest port is the Port of Manila, especially the Manila International Cargo Terminal and the Eva Macapagal
Port Terminal, both in the pier area of Manila.
a system of air transportation in which local airports offer air transportation to a central airport where long-
distance flights are available
This list of airlines enumerates local airlines in the Philippines which have a current air operator's certificate issued
by the Civil Aviation Authority

2 Oil Companies
The Philippine National Oil Company (PNOC) is an energy company created on November 9, 1973
as a government-owned and controlled corporationfounded under martial law Presidential Ferdinand Marcos to
supply oil to the Philippines. Since then, its charter has been amended several times to include exploration,
exploitation and development of all energy resources in the country

PNOC was created in response to the 1970s energy crisis. The Philippine government, then under martial law and
governed by President Ferdinand Marcos, responded to the crises by founding PNOC and forging oil-supply
partnerships with supplier countries. The government later acquired refineries and petroleum transport and
marketing firms with the aim of being a “total” energy company. PNOC also initiated the exploration of the country’s
oil and non-oil energy resources, such as geothermal.
PNOC Exploration Corporation concentrates on the oil and gas business. Its Malampaya Deepwater Gas-to-Power
Project is one of the largest and most significant industrial endeavors in Philippine history which "signalled the birth
of the natural gas industry in the Philippines" PNOC EC’s is involved with the project with Royal Dutch
Shell Exploration (as operator) and Texaco.

Petron Corporation
Petron Corporation is the largest oil refining and marketing company in the Philippines and is a leading player in the
Malaysian market. We have a combined refining capacity of nearly 270,000 barrels-per-day, producing a full-range
of premium fuels and petrochemicals to fuel the lives of millions of Filipinos and Malaysians. Leading through
partnership and innovation, we power industries, drive economic growth, and fuel the future.
