Subject: Request for explanation and documents on FY2027 DPWH budget lines for Capiz (First District)

Dear Representative Howard A. Guintu:

Good day. I live in Capiz (First District), and I would like to ask about some DPWH lines for the Capiz 1st 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. Iloilo East Coast-Capiz Rd - K0128 + 022 - K0128 + 487, K0137 + 025 - K0137 + 420, K0143 + 416 - K0144 + 143, K0144 + 291 - K0144 + 405, K0144 + 514 - K0144 + 727 (Capiz 1st DEO): not in the NEP; ₱50,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 223; no matching NEP line for this office]
2. Construction of Road, Barangay Balighot to Barangay Cabungahan, Maayon, Capiz (Capiz 1st DEO): not in the NEP; ₱50,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 560; no matching NEP line for this office]
3. Construction of Multi-Purpose Building, Capiz State University Dayao Campus, Barangay Dayao, Roxas City, Capiz (Capiz 1st DEO): not in the NEP; ₱30,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 807; no matching NEP line for this office]
4. Construction of Road, Barangay Libas, Roxas City, Capiz (Capiz 1st DEO): not in the NEP; ₱20,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 560; no matching NEP line for this office]
5. Completion of Multi-Purpose Building, President Roxas, Capiz, 11.43037, 122.92531 (Capiz 1st DEO): not in the NEP; ₱20,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 807; no matching NEP line for this office]
6. Capiz Br. (B00240PN) along Iloilo-Capiz Rd (New Route) (Capiz 1st DEO): not in the NEP; ₱15,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 268; 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:
- Capiz 1st DEO: 769 contracts (2016–2025) in public DPWH records; 574 recorded as completed and 167 as ongoing.

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]
