Subject: Request for explanation and documents on FY2027 DPWH budget lines for Negros Occidental (Sixth District)

Dear Representative Mercedes K. Alvarez:

Good day. I live in Negros Occidental (Sixth District), and I would like to ask about some DPWH lines for the Negros Occidental 3rd 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 Parallel Bridge - Pana-on Bridge, Barangay II, Sipalay City, Negros Occidental, 9.74, 122.400833 (Negros Occidental 3rd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱45,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 569; no matching NEP line for this office]
2. Rehabilitation of Public Water Supply System, Barangay San Pedro, Santa Catalina, Negros Oriental (Negros Occidental 3rd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱40,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 382; no matching NEP line for this office]
3. Dumaguete South Rd - K0096 + 000 - K0096 + 016, K0096 + 208 - K0096 + 630.592 (Negros Occidental 3rd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱23,457,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 113; no matching NEP line for this office]
4. Construction of Road, Barangay Canlamay, Ilog, Negros Occidental (Negros Occidental 3rd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱15,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 569; no matching NEP line for this office]
5. Construction of Multi-Purpose Building (Candoni Gym), Barangay East, Candoni, Negros Occidental (Negros Occidental 3rd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱15,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 827; no matching NEP line for this office]
6. Construction of Public Water Supply System, Barangay Malabugas, Bayawan City, Negros Oriental (Negros Occidental 3rd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱10,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 382; no matching NEP line for this office]
7. Construction of Public Water Supply System, Basay, Negros Oriental (Negros Occidental 3rd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱10,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 382; no matching NEP line for this office]
8. Rehabilitation of Public Water Supply System, Upper Malabuhan, Siaton, Negros Oriental (Negros Occidental 3rd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱10,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 382; no matching NEP line for this office]
9. Construction of Multi-Purpose Buildings, Barangay Hilamonan, Kabankalan, Negros Occidental (Negros Occidental 3rd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱10,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 827; no matching NEP line for this office]
10. Construction of Multi-Purpose Building, Barangay Bulwangan, Hinoba-an, Negros Occidental (Negros Occidental 3rd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱5,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 826; 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 3rd DEO: 177 contracts (2016–2025) in public DPWH records; 167 recorded as completed and 7 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]
