In terms of Philippine infrastructure and development, there are many players in the field. the constellation of players adds to the labyrinth of vulnerabilities in the road works system. The vulnerabilities in the road works are observable in the various phases of the road system, such as, in the pre-implementation phase, and in monitoring and evaluation.

The role of the civil society and the private sector is crucial in these changes and reforms.
