Hon. Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda Representative, Iloilo City (Lone District) House of Representatives Subject: Request for explanation and documents on FY2027 DPWH budget lines for Iloilo City (Lone District) Dear Representative Julienne "Jam" L. Baronda: Good day. I live in Iloilo City (Lone District), and I would like to ask about some DPWH lines for the Iloilo City 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, Barangay Q. Abeto, Mandurriao, Iloilo City (Iloilo City DEO): not in the NEP; ₱48,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 821; no matching NEP line for this office] 2. Construction/Completion of Multi-Purpose Building/Evacuation Center, Mandurriao Elementary School, Iloilo City (Iloilo City DEO): not in the NEP; ₱25,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 821; no matching NEP line for this office] 3. Completion of Multi-Purpose Building, Building 1, UPV, Barangay San Felix, City Proper, Iloilo City (Iloilo City DEO): not in the NEP; ₱20,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 821; no matching NEP line for this office] 4. Construction/Rehabilitation of Multi-Purpose Building, Building 2, UPV, Barangay San Felix, Iloilo City (Iloilo City DEO): not in the NEP; ₱20,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 821; no matching NEP line for this office] 5. Construction/Completion of Multi-Purpose Building, Barangay North Fundidor, Molo, Iloilo City (Iloilo City DEO): not in the NEP; ₱20,000,000 in the House version.

[HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 821; 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.

Some of these were marked by automated indicators on public data.

How this was made. House lines come from the native text of House Bill No. 10858, third reading, Vol. I-C (official record); every one of the 15,977 amounts was checked against its printed page. NEP lines come from the FY2027 National Expenditure Program, Vol. II-B as read by the open BetterGov DPWH NEP–HB analysis. Lines are matched by office and title. A line marked “added” had no matching title under the same office in the NEP; “uncertain” means a similar title appears in the DPWH Transparency NEP listing or our own NEP reading, or the scan reading of the NEP amount needs a check. Past contracts and indicators come from public DPWH records on this site.
