Summary: | Development in the urban setting may be legitimized through the presence of a mass
amount of development projects funded by the government, in the case of the National
Capital Region or Metro Manila, this duty is fulfilled by the Metropolitan Manila
Development Authority. This study was conducted to gain understanding and analysis of
previous projects of the agency during the last term of Bayani Fernando from 2006 to
2009. The study focused on identifying the projects implemented at the time, thereafter
ascertained their relevance and lastly, sought to find any conflicts between the MMDA
and its component Local Government Units. Qualitative methods such as descriptive
analysis and historical methods were used to analyze the characteristics of the projects
delivered by the MMDA during the said years and to study the evolution, and
development of the MMDA.
The relevance of each project was measured against the seven mandates and its impact
upon the development of Metro Manila. By this standard, almost all of the projects
complied with the seven mandates, except one which was the Single ticketing system.
Every mandate managed, in one way or another, affect the development of the Metro,
however, the effectiveness of these projects were hampered by conflicts by the agency
with the respective LGUs that comprise it as a whole. This study recommends that some
projects under “Metro Gwapo” be sustained. Also the contention between authorities on
development projects be legally resolved. Nevertheless, cooperation and transparency
must be stressed to ensure that projects are implemented successfully. |
