House of Representatives

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

Dear Representative Carl Nicolas C. Cari:

Good day. I live in Leyte (Fifth District), and I would like to ask about some DPWH lines for the Leyte 5th 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 Multi-Purpose Building, Hilongos, Leyte, 10.37215, 124.74833 (Leyte 5th DEO): not in the NEP; ₱25,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 851; no matching NEP line for this office]
2. Construction of Multi-Purpose Building, Barangay Inayupan, Javier, Leyte (10.783900, 124.973339) (Leyte 5th DEO): not in the NEP; ₱25,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 852; no matching NEP line for this office]
3. Construction of Road, Barangay Cagbolo, Abuyog, Leyte (Leyte 5th DEO): not in the NEP; ₱5,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 587; no matching NEP line for this office]
4. Construction of Road, Barangay Himamara, Mahaplag, Leyte (Leyte 5th DEO): not in the NEP; ₱5,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 587; no matching NEP line for this office]
5. Construction of Road, Barangay Hitoog, Matalom, Leyte (Leyte 5th DEO): not in the NEP; ₱5,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 587; no matching NEP line for this office]
6. Construction of Multi-Purpose Building, Barangay Canha-ayon, Hindang, Leyte (Leyte 5th DEO): not in the NEP; ₱5,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 851; no matching NEP line for this office]
7. Construction of Multi-Purpose Building, Barangay Campina, Hilongos, Leyte (Leyte 5th DEO): not in the NEP; ₱5,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 851; no matching NEP line for this office]
8. Construction of Multi-Purpose Building, Barangay Himo-aw, Hilongos, Leyte (Leyte 5th DEO): not in the NEP; ₱5,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 851; no matching NEP line for this office]
9. Construction of Multi-Purpose Building, Barangay Magnangoy, Hilongos, Leyte (Leyte 5th DEO): not in the NEP; ₱5,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 851; no matching NEP line for this office]
10. Construction of Multi-Purpose Building, Barangay Zacarito, Baybay City, Leyte (10.612948,124.896072) (Leyte 5th DEO): not in the NEP; ₱5,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 851; 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 5th DEO: 1,025 contracts (2016–2026) in public DPWH records; 902 recorded as completed and 86 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 Cadac-an Flood Control Structure along Cadac-an River, Cadac-an River Basin, Right Side Bank, Abuyog, Leyte (24IG0028): Duplicate or Near-Duplicate Projects. https://lovethephilippines.com/projects/f7907a6b-3cf3-44b6-a0cd-506af54c07c0

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]

9 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.
