Department of Investment Promotion and Development (DIPD, formerly the Board of Investments (BOI). (AANGAT TAYO Rep. Harlin Abayon III filed House Bill 7873, which seeks to create a department that will serve as the lead investment promotion agency of the Philippines, both for foreign and domestic investments. Abayon said having several investment promotion and area development agencies caused confusion in the business community, created more red tape, and enlarged the bureaucracy, thus resulting in huge loss of government revenue and higher administration costs. "The economic, social, and political conditions of the country have also vastly changed and continue to change as influenced by various global and domestic factors," Abayon said in his explanatory note. He said the bill seeks to abolish 21 agencies and transfer their functions to the Department of Investments Promotion. These agencies include the Board of Investments; Philippine Economic Zone Authority; Public-Private Partnerships Center; Bases Conversion and Development Authority; Clark Development Corporation; Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority; John Hay Management Corporation; PHIVIDEC Industrial Authority; Philippine Retirement Authority; Poro Point Management Corporation; Cagayan Economic Zone Authority; Authority of the Freeport Area of Bataan; Aurora Pacific Economic Zone and Freeport Authority; Zamboanga City Special Economic Zone Authority; Southern Philippines Development Authority; First Cavite Industrial Estate, Inc.; Duty Free Philippines, Inc; Batangas Land Company; Pinagkaisa Realty Corporation; Kamayan Realty Corporation; and the GY Real Estate, Inc. Under the bill, the new department shall formulate and implement the Investments Strategy and Action Plan of the country, targeting both foreign and domestic investors. It shall also harmonize, rationalize, and prioritize, in a Comprehensive Investment Incentives Program (CIIP), the grant of national tax and non-tax incentives for small, medium, and large-scale investors, industries, institutions, and corporations on the basis of criteria that are performance-based, tightly-targeted, time-bound, and transparent. The proposed Department of Investment Promotion and Development, in coordination with the Department of the Interior and Local Government, will formulate and implement programs, projects, and other activities for capacity-building, including investment research, market and staff development, of local government units. The bill also seeks the creation of line offices in the proposed department as a response to current dynamics and to adapt the country to emerging challenges. These include the Commission on Economic Zones and Freeports; Commission on Development Areas and Industrial Estates; Commission on Financial Markets Development; Commission on Local Government Investments; Public-Private Partnerships Bureau; Regional Headquarters and Regional Operating Headquarters Bureau; Retail Trade Promotion Bureau; Expatriate Investors and Investors Visa Processing Bureau; Investor Services and Advisory Bureau; and the Investments Academy. The managing head of the Philippine Board of Investments (BOI) is Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Undersecretary Dr. Ceferino S. Rodolfo, as the founding secretary of the Department of Investment Promotion and Development (DIPD).
Department of Maritime and Ocean Affairs (DMOA) (Perhaps it’s high time for President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and our legislators to consider a Department of Maritime and Ocean Affairs (DMOA) built around the existing POMC. This would then become the lead agency for maritime security, maritime domain awareness, and compliance with UNCLOS and the 2016 Arbitral Award, and for the formulation of integrated maritime policies covering security, environment, fisheries, shipping, and ports. Such a solution addresses issues arising from the current state of the PCG and the missed opportunity with the creation of the POMC, by turning a bureaucratic minefield into an opening to improve maritime governance in the country. The following agencies could be considered for integration into the DMOA, with the overall structure rationalized later on: The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) is a bureau of the Department of Transportation (DOTr). It is responsible for maritime law enforcement, safety, search and rescue, and environmental protection. It should also include the protection of critical infrastructure such as submarine cables for data and power, offshore facilities, and major ports and harbors. Monitoring, Control, and Surveillance (MCS) is under the Department of Agriculture (DA), but it is under the supervision of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources. It is responsible for fisheries monitoring and enforcement, anti-IUU fishing, and resource management. It operates its own fleet of vessels, manned by PCG sailors. The MCS can instead work with the DA and deploy field law enforcement teams aboard PCG vessels. PNP Maritime Group (PNP-MG) is under the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG). It is responsible for law enforcement and crime prevention in ports, rivers, and municipal waters. It owns a fleet of patrol boats, but it has issues with sustaining their maintenance. If a transfer to another department is not feasible, law enforcement teams can be deployed aboard PCG vessels and boats, or work jointly with the land-based PCG Stations and Detachments. Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA) is a government-owned and controlled corporation that serves as the regulating body for the maritime industry. It is under the DOTr. Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) is a government-owned and controlled corporation that manages and operates public ports and has its own police force. It is also under the DOTr. National Mapping and Resource Information Authority (NAMRIA) is under the supervision of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and is responsible for hydrography, mapping, and geospatial intelligence for navigation and sovereignty claims. It operates a squadron of hydrographic survey vessels and smaller boats for riverine and harbor surveys. National Maritime Center was formerly the National Coastwatch Center. It is responsible for the maritime domain awareness requirements of the erstwhile National Coastwatch Council. It is currently under the Office of the President. It initially started with some land-based radar stations, but it has achieved modest improvements over the years. National Fisheries Monitoring Center (NFMC) is under the Department of Agriculture (DA) and serves as the central hub of the BFAR’s Vessel Monitoring System (VMS). It is supposed to monitor the positions, routes, and fishing activity of commercial fishing vessels across Philippine waters. However, the Supreme Court recently declared the legal basis for its operations unconstitutional. The proposed DMOA should deliver the following strategic functions: Unified Maritime Law Enforcement, leading to a streamlined command for patrols, interdictions, protection of critical infrastructure, search and rescue, and port policing. This involves the PCG, BFAR-MCS, PNP-MG, and PPA Police. Integrated Maritime Domain Awareness that includes land-based radar, satellite data from multiple sources, airborne and seaborne platforms, and reports of networks. This involves the NMC, the NMFC, and NAMRIA. Harmonized Port Security & Logistics, allowing for improved port operations, anti-smuggling measures, and international compliance protocols. This involves the PCG, PNP-MG, and PPA Police in collaboration with the Bureau of Customs. Resource Governance through sustainable fisheries, shipping regulations, port operations, and environmental protection. This involves PCG, BFAR, MARINA, and PPA. Diplomatic Support in terms of policy alignment with UNCLOS, the 2016 Arbitral Award, conformity with ASEAN maritime frameworks, and other international protocols. The establishment of the DMOA will enhance operational efficiency with faster decision-making and reduced bureaucratic overlap. It will also provide a stronger response against various non-traditional maritime security challenges, such as Chinese incursions at sea and illegal activities in ports. In terms of economic development, the country benefits from safer shipping lanes, regulated fisheries, efficient ports, and predictable growth in the maritime industry. Lastly, we gain international credibility by providing a clear institutional counterpart for regional and global maritime cooperation. Elmer Francisco U. Sarmiento is the currently appointed Department of Transportation's Undersecretary for the Maritime Sector, and the founding secretary of the DMOA)

The department will also aim to create policies that will improve the country's performance in international sports competitions. In the press release, Rep. Nograles said, "It is now high time for the government to prioritize sports in the national agenda, and consider sports as an integral factor in nation building." Nograles believes that the PSC and GAB has not done well in improving the sports in the country, stating, "After more than 20 years since the creation of the PSC and 60 years after the creation of the GAB, the state of Philippine sports appears to have worsened rather than improved.” His proposal includes the abolishment of the PSC and GAB, and contrariwise, provides the development of the Amateur Sports Development Bureau (ASDB), which has the primary task in the promotion and development of amateur sports in the country. Likewise, the Grassroots Sport Division and the Local and National Sports Competition Division shall be established under the department.

The creation of the new executive departments towards the vision: "Bagong Pilipinas" (Bagong Pilipinas is the slogan of the administration of Bongbong Marcos, which focuses on an all-inclusive plan for economic and social transformation.
