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

Dear Representative Caroline B., M.D. Agyao:

Good day. I live in Kalinga (Lone District), and I would like to ask about some DPWH lines for the Lower Kalinga DEO and Upper Kalinga DEO in the FY2027 budget. When I compared the National Expenditure Program (NEP) with House Bill No. 10858 (third reading), I noticed the following:

2. Binwaan Bridge ( B00964LZ) along Kalinga-Abra Road (Upper Kalinga DEO): not in the NEP; ₱25,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 254; no matching NEP line for this office]
3. Construction of Ab-abaan Access Road, Sta. 15+006 - Sta. 16+256 Barangay Ab- abaan, Balbalan, Kalinga (Upper Kalinga DEO): not in the NEP; ₱15,500,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 475; 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:
- Lower Kalinga DEO: 1,098 contracts (2016–2026) in public DPWH records; 784 recorded as completed and 248 as ongoing.
- Upper Kalinga DEO: 645 contracts (2016–2026) in public DPWH records; 513 recorded as completed and 116 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]
