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:
- Mountain Province 1st DEO: 894 contracts (2016–2025) in public DPWH records; 712 recorded as completed and 109 as ongoing.
- Mountain Province 2nd DEO: 315 contracts (2017–2025) in public DPWH records; 258 recorded as completed and 44 as ongoing.

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]
