Subject: Request for explanation and documents on FY2027 DPWH budget lines for Isabela (Third District)

Dear Representative Ian Paul L. Dy:

Good day. I live in Isabela (Third District), and I would like to ask about some DPWH lines for the Isabela 3rd 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. Rehabilitation of Multi-Purpose Building, Centro 1, San Guillermo, Isabela (Isabela 3rd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱50,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 703; no matching NEP line for this office]
2. Construction of Multi-Purpose Building, Naguilian, Isabela 17.01665, 121.85328 (Isabela 3rd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱45,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 701; no matching NEP line for this office]
3. Construction of Multi-Purpose Building, Benito Soliven, Isabela (Isabela 3rd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱45,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 701; no matching NEP line for this office]
4. Santiago - Tuguegarao Rd - K0395 + 000 - K0396 + 052 (Isabela 3rd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱43,353,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 111; no matching NEP line for this office]
5. Construction of Road, Barangay Loria - Barangay Campanario with Box Culvert, Barangay Loria, Angadanan, Isabela (Sta. 0+000 - STA. 1+861.50) (Isabela 3rd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱30,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 487; no matching NEP line for this office]
6. Construction of Road, Barangay Luzon, Cabatuan, Isabela (Sta. 0+000 - STA. 1+195.50) (Isabela 3rd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱30,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 487; no matching NEP line for this office]

8. Construction of Multi-Purpose Building, Barangay Nappaccu Grande, Reina Mercedes, Isabela (Isabela 3rd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱25,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 703; no matching NEP line for this office]
9. Construction of Multi-Purpose building, Mabini, Gamu, Isabela (Isabela 3rd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱25,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 703; no matching NEP line for this office]
10. Construction of Multi-Purpose building at Calaocan, Alicia, Isabela (Isabela 3rd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱25,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 703; 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:
- Isabela 3rd DEO: 1,546 contracts (2016–2026) in public DPWH records; 1,218 recorded as completed and 235 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:
