Hon. Atty. Jennifer "Karen" A. Lagbas Representative, Misamis Oriental (First District) House of Representatives Subject: Request for explanation and documents on FY2027 DPWH budget lines for Misamis Oriental (First District) Dear Representative Atty. Jennifer "Karen" A. Lagbas: Good day. I live in Misamis Oriental (First District), and I would like to ask about some DPWH lines for the Misamis Oriental 1st 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.

[HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 607; no matching NEP line for this office] 2. Gingoog- Claveria- Villanueva Rd- K1339 + 884 - K1341 + 283 (Road Safety: Roadway Lighting) (Misamis Oriental 1st DEO): not in the NEP; ₱25,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 243; no matching NEP line for this office] 3.

[HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 353; no matching NEP line for this office] 6. Rehabilitation and Improvement of Multi-Purpose Building (People's Grandstand) at Barangay 22, Gingoog City, Misamis Oriental (8.822433, 125.104228) (Misamis Oriental 1st DEO): not in the NEP; ₱14,000,000 in the House version.

Construction of Multi-Purpose Building (Covered Court), Barangay Ampenican, Salay, Misamis Oriental (124.787858°,8.895868°) (Misamis Oriental 1st DEO): not in the NEP; ₱10,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 875; no matching NEP line for this office] 10. Construction of Road, Barangay 18-A, (Segment A: Sta. 0 + 000 - Sta. 0 + 280, Segment B: Sta. 0 + 000 - Sta. 0 + 350, Segment C: Sta. 0 + 000 - Sta. 0 + 074), Gingoog City, Misamis Oriental (Misamis Oriental 1st DEO): not in the NEP; ₱9,602,000 in the House version.

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.
