Subject: Request for explanation and documents on FY2027 DPWH budget lines for Lapu-Lapu City (Opon) (Lone District)

Dear Representative Junard "Ahong" Q. Chan:

Good day. I live in Lapu-Lapu City (Opon) (Lone District), and I would like to ask about some DPWH lines for the Cebu 6th 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 Bridge, Barangay Cansaga-Lamac, Consolacion, Cebu (Cebu 6th DEO): NEP ₱30,000,000 → House ₱90,000,000 (up ₱60,000,000). [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 579; NEP FY2027 Vol. II-B, PDF p. 537]
2. Construction of Multi-Purpose Building, Barangay Cubacub, Mandaue City, Cebu (10.36996, 123.94008) (Cebu 6th DEO): not in the NEP; ₱30,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 843; no matching NEP line for this office]
3. Construction of Multi-Purpose Building at Cordova Public College, Barangay Gabi, Cordova, Cebu (Cebu 6th DEO): not in the NEP; ₱30,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 843; 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:
- Cebu 6th DEO: 1,112 contracts (2016–2025) in public DPWH records; 942 recorded as completed and 139 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:
