Talk of the Town: Review privatization policy

Comments on “Review privatization policy,” (Flea Market of Ideas by Joel Ruiz Butuyan 11/12/26) via https://opinion.inquirer.net:

Production of goods and services should be privatized. They can profit from these enterprises as long as they want. Provision of public services for public good should be government run. At the lowest and efficient costs, period.

Manny Ilao

What government needs to do is review the contracts and make sure they are not heavily one-sided in favor of the private concessionaires. For example, automatic or guaranteed toll increases and the like. And make sure those exercising regulatory functions over the concessionaires are not corrupt.
