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:
- Leyte 2nd DEO: 1,037 contracts (2016–2025) in public DPWH records; 907 recorded as completed and 111 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:
- Construction of Marabong Flood Control Structure and Drainage system, Marabong River Basin, Burauen, Leyte (23ID0025): Duplicate or Near-Duplicate Projects. https://lovethephilippines.com/projects/1e2be43f-d390-4553-9f56-6dcf617613b1
