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

Dear Representative Loreto S. Amante:

Good day. I live in Laguna (Third District), and I would like to ask about some DPWH lines for the Laguna 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. Construction (Completion) of Multi-Purpose Building, Barangay Ibabang Taykin, Liliw, Laguna, 14.137040, 121.442803 (Laguna 3rd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱54,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 766; no matching NEP line for this office]
2. Construction (Completion) of Drainage Canal, Barangay Nanhaya, Barangay San Roque, and Barangay Pagalangan, Victoria, Laguna (Laguna 3rd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱20,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 340; no matching NEP line for this office]
3. Construction of Drainage, Barangay Pagalangan, Victoria, Laguna (Laguna 3rd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱20,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 340; no matching NEP line for this office]
4. Rehabilitation of Cross Drain and Flood Mitigation Structure, Barangay Talaga, Rizal Laguna (Laguna 3rd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱20,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 340; no matching NEP line for this office]
5. Rehabilitation (Reconstruction) of Road, Barangay San Juan, San Pablo City, Laguna, Start 14.092878, 121.293251 End 14.098843, 121.290689 (Laguna 3rd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱20,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 539; no matching NEP line for this office]
6. Construction of Multi-Purpose Building, Barangay San Gregorio, San Pablo City, Laguna (Laguna 3rd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱18,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 766; no matching NEP line for this office]
7. Construction of Drainage, Barangay Bukal, Nagcarlan, Laguna (Laguna 3rd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱15,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 340; no matching NEP line for this office]
8. Construction of Drainage (Open Canal), Barangay I-B, San Pablo City, Laguna (Laguna 3rd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱15,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 340; no matching NEP line for this office]
9. Construction of Multi-Purpose Building, Barangay V-A, San Pablo City, Laguna (Laguna 3rd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱14,500,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 768; no matching NEP line for this office]
10. Rehabilitation of Drainage, Barangay Dayap, Calauan, Laguna (Laguna 3rd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱10,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 340; 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:
- Laguna 3rd DEO: 1,057 contracts (2016–2025) in public DPWH records; 877 recorded as completed and 122 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]
