The document summarizes the state of Philippine infrastructure and the Department of Public Works and Highways' strategic policies and programs to improve it. It notes that while the country's road network is extensive, road quality is low, with only 27% of roads paved. It then outlines DPWH's initiatives to upgrade national roads, implement flood control projects, and increase public-private partnerships to boost infrastructure spending from 2011-2014. Charts show that while the budget has increased, the quality of Philippine roads has improved in global rankings over that period. The document concludes by emphasizing the DPWH's commitment to continued infrastructure investment for job creation and economic growth.
