Hon. Eric Go Yap Representative, Benguet (Lone District) House of Representatives Subject: Request for explanation and documents on FY2027 DPWH budget lines for Benguet (Lone District) Dear Representative Eric Go Yap: Good day. I live in Benguet (Lone District), and I would like to ask about some DPWH lines for the Benguet 1st DEO and Benguet 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/Improvement of Drainage Structure along Puguis Road (Sta. 0+140) to Wangal-Motorpool Road (Sta. 0+712), La Trinidad, Benguet (Benguet 1st DEO): not in the NEP; ₱50,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 328; no matching NEP line for this office] 2. Construction (Completion) of Multi Purpose Building, Barangay Poblacion, Itogon, Benguet (Benguet 1st DEO): not in the NEP; ₱50,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 683; no matching NEP line for this office] 3. Baguio-Bontoc Rd - K0253+229 - K0253+449, La Trinidad, Benguet (Benguet 1st DEO): not in the NEP; ₱25,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 183; no matching NEP line for this office] 4. Baguio-Bontoc Rd K0322+800 - K0323+300 (Benguet 2nd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱25,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 150; no matching NEP line for this office] 5. Construction of Drainage Canal along Baguio-Bontoc National Road, KM3 to KM4 Section (from Mamaga bridge to Floor Center), La Trinidad, Benguet (Benguet 1st DEO): not in the NEP; ₱20,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 327; 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: - Benguet 1st DEO: 833 contracts (2016–2025) in public DPWH records; 746 recorded as completed and 66 as ongoing. - Benguet 2nd DEO: 748 contracts (2016–2025) in public DPWH records; 681 recorded as completed and 55 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 Structure along Bauang River, Section 2 (Bolo Creek), La Trinidad, Benguet (23PE0018): Awards Very Close to the Budget Ceiling. https://lovethephilippines.com/projects/d9534d23-0c2c-4940-8214-5d086ef6c1ca - Construction of Flood Mitigation Structure along Aringay River Basin, Main Stream (Kagaling River Section), Tuba, Benguet (24PE0054): Awards Very Close to the Budget Ceiling. https://lovethephilippines.com/projects/0f65de76-7324-4629-9749-1d503c49f83c - Construction of Flood Mitigation Structure along Bauang River, Bolo Creek, La Trinidad, Benguet (24PE0044): Awards Very Close to the Budget Ceiling. https://lovethephilippines.com/projects/a221a7e0-d4ae-42fa-9e67-79ac75c5c8f0 - Construction of Flood Mitigation Structure along Agno River, Section 31a (Lower Sapnaguey), Kabayan, Benguet (24PE0024): Awards Very Close to the Budget Ceiling. https://lovethephilippines.com/projects/04dbfa6b-6de1-46c3-84cc-469546c6b5a8 - Construction of Slope Protection at Yabyabuan Multi-Grade School, Barangay Bagong, Sablan, Benguet (22PE0093): Awards Very Close to the Budget Ceiling. https://lovethephilippines.com/projects/960efe03-800b-4ddb-bf7a-299594b66788 - Construction of Flood Mitigation Structure along Agno River, Tin-apan Section, Sta. 0+058 - Sta. 0+650 (B.S), Buguias, Benguet (24PF0020): Schedule / Date Inconsistencies. https://lovethephilippines.com/projects/e1bde109-a946-44d1-ba64-726fa393d7f1 I am asking only for information and am not alleging any wrongdoing.

How this was made. House lines come from the native text of House Bill No. 10858, third reading, Vol. I-C (official record); every one of the 15,977 amounts was checked against its printed page. NEP lines come from the FY2027 National Expenditure Program, Vol. II-B as read by the open BetterGov DPWH NEP–HB analysis. Lines are matched by office and title. A line marked “added” had no matching title under the same office in the NEP; “uncertain” means a similar title appears in the DPWH Transparency NEP listing or our own NEP reading, or the scan reading of the NEP amount needs a check. Past contracts and indicators come from public DPWH records on this site.
