Hon. Francisco Paolo V P. Ortega Representative, La Union (First District) House of Representatives Subject: Request for explanation and documents on FY2027 DPWH budget lines for La Union (First District) Dear Representative Francisco Paolo V P. Ortega: Good day. I live in La Union (First District), and I would like to ask about some DPWH lines for the La Union 1st DEO in the FY2027 budget.

[HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 121; no matching NEP line for this office] 4. Sn Juan-Sn Gabriel Rd - K0278 + (-062) - K0281 + 731, K0281 + 502 - K0281 + 860 (La Union 1st DEO): not in the NEP; ₱50,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 135; no matching NEP line for this office] 5.

[HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 286; no matching NEP line for this office] 8. Bacnotan-Luna-Balaoan Rd - K0306 + 261 - K0307 + 714 (La Union 1st DEO): not in the NEP; ₱36,000,000 in the House version.

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.
