Dear Representative Ferjenel G., M.D. Biron:

Good day. I live in Iloilo (Fourth District), and I would like to ask about some DPWH lines for the Iloilo 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:
- Iloilo 2nd DEO: 1,854 contracts (2016–2025) in public DPWH records; 1,640 recorded as completed and 167 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:
