Hon. Sun J. Shimura
Representative, Cebu (Fourth District)
House of Representatives

Subject: Request for explanation and documents on FY2027 DPWH budget lines for Cebu (Fourth District)

Dear Representative Sun J. Shimura:

Good day. I live in Cebu (Fourth District), and I would like to ask about some DPWH lines for the Cebu 4th DEO in the FY2027 budget. When I compared the National Expenditure Program (NEP) with House Bill No. 10858 (third reading), I noticed the following:

(No differences were found between the NEP and the House version 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:
- Cebu 4th DEO: 1,255 contracts (2016–2025) in public DPWH records; 1,051 recorded as completed and 170 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 Dalaguete River Flood Control, Dalaguete, Cebu (22HG0020): Awards Very Close to the Budget Ceiling. https://lovethephilippines.com/projects/cace508e-fecd-4460-9d56-970d09ba9885
- Construction of Slope Protection Structure along Natalio Bacalso Avenue, Dalaguete, Cebu (22HG0044): Awards Very Close to the Budget Ceiling. https://lovethephilippines.com/projects/e09763c7-8d4b-4ca1-8d63-ab2e0883520c

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]

A line can look removed when the House reworded its title. Treat these as questions.

Past DPWH contracts under this office

1,255 contracts from 2016 to 2025 in public DPWH records (₱15.58B): 1,051 recorded as completed, 170 as ongoing. 984 have a satellite image check on file. Browse them.

2 past contracts marked by public-data indicators

Indicators are automated statistical checks on public data. They are not findings of wrongdoing, and a marked contract may have a full explanation.

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.

Disclaimer. This page and the letters it makes ask for explanations and documents. They do not say that anyone did anything wrong. A budget change can have a good reason; that is what the letter asks about. Your name and place stay in your browser and are never sent to us.
