Hon. Richard I., DPA Gomez
Representative, Leyte (Fourth District)
House of Representatives

Subject: Request for explanation and documents on FY2027 DPWH budget lines for Leyte (Fourth District)

Dear Representative Richard I., DPA Gomez:

Good day. I live in Leyte (Fourth District), and I would like to ask about some DPWH lines for the Leyte 4th 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 Concrete Road, Sta. 0+130 - Sta. 1+380, Barangay Liberty, Ormoc City, Leyte (Leyte 4th DEO): not in the NEP; ₱50,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 587; no matching NEP line for this office]
2. Construction of Three-Storey Multi-Purpose Building, Barangay San Pablo, Ormoc City, Leyte (11.035789, 124.599364) (Leyte 4th DEO): not in the NEP; ₱50,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 850; no matching NEP line for this office]
3. Construction of Road, Sta. 0+000 - Sta. 0+510, Barangay Sumangga, Ormoc City, Leyte (Leyte 4th DEO): not in the NEP; ₱20,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 587; 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:
- Leyte 4th DEO: 1,271 contracts (2016–2025) in public DPWH records; 1,088 recorded as completed and 160 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 Pagsanga-an Flood Control, (Package 1), Ormoc City, Leyte (23IF0045): Duplicate or Near-Duplicate Projects. https://lovethephilippines.com/projects/bfe2f892-e161-4172-a367-134da13e2480

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]

10 past contracts marked by public-data indicators

Indicators are automated statistical checks on public data. They are not findings of wrongdoing, and a marked contract may have a full explanation.

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.

Disclaimer. This page and the letters it makes ask for explanations and documents. They do not say that anyone did anything wrong. A budget change can have a good reason; that is what the letter asks about. Your name and place stay in your browser and are never sent to us.
