Philippine Government Agencies on Transportation

Looking for Philippine Government Agencies on Transportation? Hope I can help you guys, you are probably searching gov't agencies that are related to Philippine Transportation.

Howdy reader and follower of my blog "Transportation Engineering Philippines", welcome here.

There are several key gov't offices that you need to know!

The very first one is the Department of Transportation and Communications (or DOTC).

The second one you need to know is the Department of Public Works and Highways!

The DOTC is responsible on the road maintenance of the Philippines as well as for expansion of roads, efficiency of roads, easiness of transportation and communications through-out our country with effective systems. This can help our country to cope immediately in times of disaster management or national recovery and for future economic progress.

The DOTC is the head of other departments. The services of DOTC covers road transpo, railway, air transportation, plus water management and communication areas.

There are 14 attached agencies to DOTC, from gov't owned corporations to private corporations plus 4 other offices.
