PART3
Organizational Set-up VO: The organizational structure
(effects) observed by the Asian Development
Bank in the Philippines is exactly the
same as what has been used in other
neighboring Asian countries of the
Philippines. Basically, its
organizational set-up has been
classified not like as the other
ordinary set-ups wherein it is based
on functions (e.g. Operations Dept.,
Human Resource) but it is focused on
the SPECIFIC PURPOSE. The
objectives and mission of ADB has
been held manifest through the
structuring of the organizational set-
up. As what we can see, it has been
further divided into poverty group,
environment, agriculture etc.

Renovation of Roads
ADB also extended its help in the realm
of infrastructure. ADB’s North Luzon
Expressway Rehabilitation and Expansion
Project helped renovate an 83.7-
kilometer section of the road and build or
rehabilitate 14 interchanges, 24 bridges,
and 31 overpasses from Manila to the
Clark Special Economic Zone in
Pampanga province. The government and
ADB, the lead financing agency, worked
together to assemble a $378-million loan
package, provided primarily
by the private sector. ADB provided a
loan of $45 million and coordinated a
loan of $25 million by a group of
international commercial banks. For users
of the highway, the impact has been
dramatic. The road used to be a heavily
potholed, two-lane thoroughfare where
overloaded trucks, speeding buses, and
private vehicles dangerously competed
for space. Today, it is a safe, smooth
tollway with good lighting, modern
signage, and vigorous enforcement of
traffic laws.
