Dear Representative Solomon R. Chungalao:

Good day. I live in Ifugao (Lone District), and I would like to ask about some DPWH lines for the Ifugao 1st DEO and Ifugao 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:

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:
- Ifugao 1st DEO: 499 contracts (2016–2025) in public DPWH records; 374 recorded as completed and 101 as ongoing.
- Ifugao 2nd DEO: 481 contracts (2016–2025) in public DPWH records; 420 recorded as completed and 43 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 Mapacopaco Flood Control, Sta. 38+850 - Sta. 39+900 (R/S), Posnaan, Aguinaldo, Ifugao (24PJ0017): Awards Very Close to the Budget Ceiling. https://lovethephilippines.com/projects/9397487a-c8c6-4775-a225-4b828e267cec
- Construction of Slope Protection Structure, DPWH Ifugao 2nd DEO, Talite, Aguinaldo, Ifugao (23PJ0013): Awards Very Close to the Budget Ceiling. https://lovethephilippines.com/projects/30f5f0ee-6a99-4091-bf81-f08d6ff33886

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]
