Dear Representative Albert S. Garcia:

Good day. I live in Bataan (Second District), and I would like to ask about some DPWH lines for the Bataan 2nd 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 Multi-Purpose Facility, Barangay Tuyo, Balanga City, Bataan (14.687125 , 120.5304472) (Bataan 2nd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱50,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 718; 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:
- Bataan 2nd DEO: 853 contracts (2016–2026) in public DPWH records; 695 recorded as completed and 142 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 Revetment at Pandam River, Phase 2, Orion, Bataan (22CB0086): Awards Very Close to the Budget Ceiling. https://lovethephilippines.com/projects/8a8bbd87-ed01-4d7b-a5d1-ed89031f4239

I am asking only for information and am not alleging any wrongdoing. Thank you for your time and your reply.

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