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

Dear Representative Janice Degamo:

Good day. I live in Negros Oriental (Third District), and I would like to ask about some DPWH lines for the Negros Oriental 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 Road, Sitio Avocado, Barangay Talalak, Santa Catalina, Negros Oriental (Negros Oriental 3rd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱30,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 572; no matching NEP line for this office]
2. Construction of Road, Barangay Apoloy, Siaton, Negros Oriental (Negros Oriental 3rd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱20,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 572; no matching NEP line for this office]
3. Construction of Road, Barangay Maglinao, Basay, Negros Oriental (Negros Oriental 3rd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱20,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 572; no matching NEP line for this office]
4. Construction of Road, Sitio Tigba to Sitio Canggabi, Barangay Narra, Bayawan City, Negros Oriental (Negros Oriental 3rd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱20,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 572; no matching NEP line for this office]
5. Construction of Road, Sitio Bolaw, Barangay Manduao, Bayawan City, Negros Oriental (Negros Oriental 3rd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱20,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 573; no matching NEP line for this office]
6. Construction of Road, Barangay Tubod to Barangay Tabuan, Bayawan City, Negros Oriental (Negros Oriental 3rd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱15,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 572; no matching NEP line for this office]
7. Dumaguete South Rd - K0024 + 000 - K0024 + 700 (Road Safety: Roadway Lighting) (Negros Oriental 3rd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱10,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 237; no matching NEP line for this office]
8. Construction of Road, Sitio Bahian, Barangay Dawis, Bayawan City, Negros Oriental (Negros Oriental 3rd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱10,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 573; no matching NEP line for this office]
9. Construction of Road, Sitio Baknit, Barangay San Francisco, Santa Catalina, Negros Oriental (Negros Oriental 3rd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱10,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 573; no matching NEP line for this office]
10. Construction of Road, Sitio Hingles, Barangay San Francisco, Santa Catalina, Negros Oriental (Negros Oriental 3rd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱10,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 573; 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 Oriental 3rd DEO: 33 contracts (2017–2025) in public DPWH records; 25 recorded as completed and 1 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]
