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

Dear Representative John Tracy F. Cagas:

Good day. I live in Davao Del Sur (Lone District), and I would like to ask about some DPWH lines for the Davao del Sur 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 Multi-Purpose Building, Inawayan Elementary School,Barangay Inawayan, Sta. Cruz, Davao del Sur (6.965470, 125.472150) (Davao del Sur DEO): not in the NEP; ₱11,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 886; no matching NEP line for this office]
2. Construction/Completion of Water Supply System, Barangay Guihing, Hagonoy, Davao del Sur (Davao del Sur DEO): not in the NEP; ₱10,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 389; no matching NEP line for this office]
3. Construction of Multi-Purpose Building, Barangay Jose Rizal, Sta. Cruz, Davao del Sur (6.942140, 125.432180) (Davao del Sur DEO): not in the NEP; ₱8,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 886; no matching NEP line for this office]
4. Construction of Multi-Purpose Building, Purok Guava Barangay Darong, Santa Cruz, Davao del Sur (Davao del Sur DEO): not in the NEP; ₱8,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 886; no matching NEP line for this office]
5. Construction of Water System, Barangay Poblacion 2, Bansalan, Davao del Sur (Davao del Sur DEO): not in the NEP; ₱7,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 389; no matching NEP line for this office]
6. Construction of Water System, Barangay Pitu, Malalag, Davao del Sur (Davao del Sur DEO): not in the NEP; ₱5,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 389; no matching NEP line for this office]
7. Construction of Multi-Purpose Building (Covered Court), Bansalan, Davao del Sur (6.784117, 125.223400) (Davao del Sur DEO): not in the NEP; ₱5,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 886; no matching NEP line for this office]
8. Rehabilitation of Multi-Purpose Building, Santa Cruz National High School (NHSC), Santa Cruz, Davao del Sur (Davao del Sur DEO): not in the NEP; ₱5,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 886; no matching NEP line for this office]
9. Rehabilitation/Completion of Multi-Purpose Building, UBCI, Barangay Mabunga, Bansalan, Davao del Sur (Davao del Sur DEO): not in the NEP; ₱3,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 886; 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 Sur DEO: 1,277 contracts (2016–2026) in public DPWH records; 970 recorded as completed and 245 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]
