I was drawing the parallel to China sending their crims to the African continent.

This is similar to Castro allowing Cuban criminals to escape to Miami some thirty years ago.

I fully concur, it is issues like you have raised that will keep most 3rd and near 3rd world countries from developing.
China is dominating the construction business in this part of the world, China looks at the economic expansion into business as just one way of them achieving dominance over a lot of the 3rd world.
Look at what they are doing in Africa, the enter into development agreements with the governments in return for rights to extract the natural resources, they will [CodeWord123] these countries with no concern for environmental and worker protection in furtherance of their own ends.

I can see that my post did not keep the context. I was suggesting that Trevor2522 be checking the posting history of the Youtube commentators.

The other issue is that agreeing the scope, producing the reference design, working out the airport operator's concessions, embarking on land acquisition and doing the environmental impact assessment could literally take 10-15 years. Officials in the various planning departments would milk this phase of the project such that even their grandkids are set up for life. The other issue with a PPP is sovereign risk. What if the government in the Philippines misses its service payment to the consortium? Abatements would also be onerous.

Check his posting history which is mix of comments and questions about curing STDs, asking about hotel, e visas, in Venezuela, Madagascar plus he has been to the Philippines before so why ask this question? 147 FRs of questions and comments and as he has been to the country before (his posted in AC in 2018 some questions about the bar fines) he should know the answer.
But some just love to ask questions as are scared of their own shadow and believe everything on You Tube and Facebook rather than read and research in the real world.

The local people managing the program are unfamiliar with the rules governing contracting and like to think that they can order around the contractor despite the contracts saying otherwise, they demand contracts to their friends and make other amateur mistakes that will drive up costs. Basically people who have never managed a budget more than a few thousand dollars can be e put in charge of programs worth hundreds of millions or more.
When the multi national development banks. ADB and World Bank, get involved their procedures just make it worse, there is the appearance that because an international organization is involved that things will be above board, often their staff is just as corrupt and incompetent as the local staff, just from a different country, that they do some of the same things then back away saying that they really didn't issue those instructions.
If you want to get away from this then make things like the airport a Public Private Partnership or PPP where the private company, which will be a large international finance organization, builds the airport or port or whatever and then charges the rent and operating fees directly to recoup their money. This happens typically over a period of 25 to 40 years and then the facility is given to the government to continue to operate.
No system is fool proof but when you start off with one that puts the fools in charge you are headed for a disaster.
