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

Dear Representative Edwin L., M.D. Cruzado:

Good day. I live in North Cotabato (First District), and I would like to ask about some DPWH lines for the Cotabato 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. Construction of Road Concreting Barangay Lomopog, Midsayap, Cotabato (Cotabato 1st DEO): not in the NEP; ₱10,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 611; no matching NEP line for this office]
2. Construction of Road Concreting Barangay Upper Labas, Midsayap, Cotabato (Cotabato 1st DEO): not in the NEP; ₱10,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 611; no matching NEP line for this office]
3. Construction of Multi-Purpose Building (covered court) Barangay Ginatilan, Pikit, Cotabato (7.048695, 124.626431) (Cotabato 1st DEO): not in the NEP; ₱6,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 887; 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:
- Cotabato 1st DEO: 1,318 contracts (2016–2025) in public DPWH records; 1,257 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 Revetment along Malasila River, Sta. 43+980 - Sta. 44+780 L/S, Barangay Sta. Filomina, Makilala, Cotabato (24MC0053): Pattern Consistent with Contract Splitting. https://lovethephilippines.com/projects/072b556a-1bfc-4092-941e-0cce983be0d1
- Construction of Flood Control Dike along Bulatukan River, Sta. 61+930 - Sta. 62+270 R/S, Barangay New Bulatukan, Makilala, Cotabato (24MC0034): Pattern Consistent with Contract Splitting. https://lovethephilippines.com/projects/9a0a41d4-e029-4217-bd80-b2f2d3e25cae

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.
