Subject: Request for explanation and documents on FY2027 DPWH budget lines for Aurora (Lone District)

Dear Representative Rommel Rico T. Angara:

Good day. I live in Aurora (Lone District), and I would like to ask about some DPWH lines for the Aurora DEO in the FY2027 budget. When I compared the National Expenditure Program (NEP) with House Bill No. 10858 (third reading), I noticed the following:

1. Construction of Bayanihan-Quirino Provincial Road, Maria Aurora, Aurora (Aurora DEO): not in the NEP; ₱26,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 497; no matching NEP line for this office]
2. Construction of Multi Purpose Building, Barangay San Isidro, San Luis, Aurora (Aurora DEO): not in the NEP; ₱25,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 715; no matching NEP line for this office]
3. Construction (Completion) of Multi-Purpose Building, Dilasag, Aurora (Aurora DEO): not in the NEP; ₱20,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 714; no matching NEP line for this office]
4. Construction of Multi-Purpose Building (Department of Trade and Industry), Barangay Pingit, Baler, Aurora (Aurora DEO): not in the NEP; ₱10,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 714; no matching NEP line for this office]
5. Construction of Multi-Purpose Building (CHED Satellite Office) Barangay Zabali, Baler, Aurora (Aurora DEO): not in the NEP; ₱10,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 715; no matching NEP line for this office]
6. Construction of Multi-Purpose Building (Sangguniang Bayan), Dilasag, Aurora (Aurora DEO): not in the NEP; ₱10,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 715; no matching NEP line for this office]
7. Construction of Multi-Purpose Building (Barangay Hall) Barangay 4, Baler, Aurora (Aurora DEO): not in the NEP; ₱10,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 716; no matching NEP line for this office]
8. Construction of Multi Purpose Building (Covered Court), Barangay 1, San Luis, Aurora, 15.72276, 121.521520 (Aurora DEO): not in the NEP; ₱8,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 714; no matching NEP line for this office]
9. Construction of Multi Purpose Building (Covered Court), Barangay Calantas, Casiguran, Aurora, 16.31568, 122.110870 (Aurora DEO): not in the NEP; ₱8,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 714; no matching NEP line for this office]
10. Construction of Multi Purpose Building (Covered Court), Barangay Esperanza, Casiguran, Aurora, 16.30692, 122.145380 (Aurora DEO): not in the NEP; ₱8,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 714; no matching NEP line for this office]

For each line above, may I ask for:
1. The reason or basis for adding, increasing, reducing or removing it, and who requested it;
2. The feasibility study, program of work, or detailed engineering design, if one exists;
3. The exact location and the expected beneficiaries; and
4. Any earlier projects at the same location and their status.

For context, this is what public DPWH records show for past projects:
- Aurora DEO: 1,499 contracts (2016–2025) in public DPWH records; 1,238 recorded as completed and 231 as ongoing.
Some of these were marked by automated indicators on public data. These are not findings of wrongdoing; I would only like an explanation for:
- Construction of Flood Mitigation Structures and Drainage System, Malupa-Dian-Aguang River Improvement Project, Baler, Aurora (22CN0037): Duplicate or Near-Duplicate Projects. https://lovethephilippines.com/projects/b5c57c81-4add-4db1-aea8-f6933d13664b

Respectfully,
[Your name]
[Barangay, city or municipality]
