Dear Representative Leonel "Jhong" D. Ceniza:

Good day. I live in Davao De Oro (Second District), and I would like to ask about some DPWH lines for the Davao de Oro 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:

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:
- Davao de Oro 1st DEO: 2,239 contracts (2016–2026) in public DPWH records; 2,054 recorded as completed and 163 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]
