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

Dear Representative Jose Manuel "JM" F. Lagdameo:

Good day. I live in Davao Del Norte (Second District), and I would like to ask about some DPWH lines for the Davao del Norte 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. Basak Parallel Br. along Saturnino R. Silva Rd (Davao del Norte 2nd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱50,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 284; no matching NEP line for this office]
2. Construction (Completion) of Multi-Purpose Building with Support Facilities, Barangay Ising, Carmen, Davao del Norte (7.353613, 125.704395) (Davao del Norte 2nd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱50,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 883; no matching NEP line for this office]
3. Babak-Samal-Kaputian Rd - K1512 + 413 - K1513 + 676 (Davao del Norte 2nd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱40,154,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 202; no matching NEP line for this office]
4. New Camiling Parallel Br. along Saturnino R. Silva Rd (Davao del Norte 2nd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱25,200,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 284; no matching NEP line for this office]
5. Rehabilitation of Multi-Purpose Buildings at Barangay Camudmud, Babak District, Davao del Norte (7.038923, 125.739609) (Davao del Norte 2nd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱14,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 883; no matching NEP line for this office]
6. Construction of Water System at Barangay Tagdaliao, Samal District, Davao del Norte (Davao del Norte 2nd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱10,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 388; no matching NEP line for this office]
7. Construction of Water System, Barangay Kanaan, Kaputian District, Davao del Norte (Davao del Norte 2nd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱10,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 388; no matching NEP line for this office]
8. Concreting of Road in Barangay Bobongon, Sto. Tomas, Davao del Norte (Davao del Norte 2nd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱10,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 610; no matching NEP line for this office]
9. Concreting of Road in Barangay Kimamon, Sto. Tomas, Davao del Norte (Davao del Norte 2nd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱10,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 610; no matching NEP line for this office]
10. Concreting of Road in Barangay Dalisay, Panabo, Davao del Norte (Davao del Norte 2nd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱10,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 610; 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:
- Davao del Norte 2nd DEO: 117 contracts (2024–2026) in public DPWH records; 21 recorded as completed and 61 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]
