Dear Representative Alfredo III D. Marañon:

Good day. I live in Negros Occidental (Second District), and I would like to ask about some DPWH lines for the Negros Occidental 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. Construction of Piyok Bridge (Sta. 3+128 - Sta 3+178), Sagay City, Negros Occidental (10.8625, 123.3430556) (Negros Occidental 1st DEO): not in the NEP; ₱40,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 566; 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:
- Negros Occidental 1st DEO: 222 contracts (2016–2025) in public DPWH records; 213 recorded as completed and 4 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]
