The Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA) recently completed a three-day Construction Performance Evaluation System (CPES) Accreditation Training for Government Constructors’ Performance Evaluators (CPEs) at the LRTA Line 2 Depot in Santolan, Pasig City, from November 25 to 27, 2025.  

The program included comprehensive technical discussions on the standardized system for evaluating contractor performance in government infrastructure projects.

 Attended by LRTA engineers and architects, the training featured lectures, case analyses, and a practical inspection to ensure that participants met the accreditation requirements of the Construction Industry Authority of the Philippines – Philippine Domestic Construction Board (CIAP-PDCB).

Eighteen LRTA personnel, including Administrator  Hernando T. Cabrera and Bids and Awards Committee member Mr. Raymond C. Vazquez, participated to enhance the Authority’s technical evaluation capabilities.  

“This training is crucial for maintaining high standards in LRTA construction projects,” stated Administrator Cabrera. “With our staff now equipped to evaluate contractor performance, we can better protect public investments and enhance infrastructure for our commuters.”  

The CPES serves as the official system to assess contractor performance on government projects in the Philippines and ensures that technical personnel are qualified to conduct assessments, with accreditation granted by CIAP-PDCB post-training.  

This accreditation training supports LRTA’s mission of delivering a world-class, inclusive transport system, emphasizing resilience, integrity, professionalism, and excellence.
