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

Dear Representative Jane T. Castro:

Good day. I live in Capiz (Second District), and I would like to ask about some DPWH lines for the Capiz 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. Iloilo-Capiz Rd (Old Route) - K0084 + 490 - K0087 + 000 (Capiz 2nd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱48,343,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 163; no matching NEP line for this office]
2. Roxas City-Cagay-Sibaguan-Balijuagan-Cudian-Ivisan Rd - K0101 + 830 - K0102 + 390 (Capiz 2nd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱30,345,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 201; no matching NEP line for this office]
3. Construction (Completion) of Multi-Purpose Building, Guimbal Iloilo (10.673400, 122.314056) (Capiz 2nd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱30,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 808; no matching NEP line for this office]
4. Iloilo-Capiz Rd (New Route) - K0098 + 803 - K0098 + 1004 (Capiz 2nd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱10,892,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 192; no matching NEP line for this office]
5. Construction of Multi-Purpose Building at Barangay Codingle, Dumarao, Capiz (Capiz 2nd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱6,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 808; no matching NEP line for this office]
6. Iloilo-Capiz Rd (New Route) - K0068 + 621 - K0068 + 722 (Capiz 2nd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱5,473,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 192; no matching NEP line for this office]
7. Construction of Multi-Purpose Building, Barangay Pinamalatican, Sigma, Capiz (Capiz 2nd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱5,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 808; no matching NEP line for this office]
8. Construction of Multi-Purpose Building, Barangay Balucuan, Sigma, Capiz (Capiz 2nd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱5,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 808; 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 2nd DEO: 937 contracts (2016–2025) in public DPWH records; 785 recorded as completed and 130 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 River Control along Panay River Basin, Brgy. Tinaytayan (Tinaytayan Elem. School), Dumarao, Capiz (22GP0062): Awards Very Close to the Budget Ceiling. https://lovethephilippines.com/projects/c5488296-9173-4699-ada4-795cac5a6690
- Construction of River Control along Panay River Basin, Brgy. Pagbunitan, Sigma, Capiz (22GP0022): Awards Very Close to the Budget Ceiling. https://lovethephilippines.com/projects/34a376f6-b4bb-4ae1-8243-27c51d668a95

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]
