Hon. Niko Raul S.J. Daza Representative, Northern Samar (First District) House of Representatives Subject: Request for explanation and documents on FY2027 DPWH budget lines for Northern Samar (First District) Dear Representative Niko Raul S.J. Daza: Good day. I live in Northern Samar (First District), and I would like to ask about some DPWH lines for the Northern Samar 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 Multi-Purpose Building , Mondragon, Northern Samar, 12.520214, 124.760949 (Northern Samar 1st DEO): not in the NEP; ₱20,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 852; no matching NEP line for this office] 2. Construction of Road, Barangay Poblacion 5 to Barangay Sawang, Capul, Northern Samar (Northern Samar 1st DEO): NEP ₱8,000,000 → House ₱18,000,000 (up ₱10,000,000). [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 588; NEP FY2027 Vol. II-B, PDF p. 541] 3. Completion of Multi-Purpose Building, Mondragon, Northern Samar, 12.520558, 124.760912 (Northern Samar 1st DEO): not in the NEP; ₱10,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 852; no matching NEP line for this office] 4. Construction of Multi-Purpose Building, Bobon, Northern Samar, 12.52535, 124.567633 (Northern Samar 1st DEO): not in the NEP; ₱10,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 852; no matching NEP line for this office] 5. Construction of Multi-Purpose Building , San Isidro, Northern Samar, 12.386384, 124.329555 (Northern Samar 1st DEO): not in the NEP; ₱10,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 852; no matching NEP line for this office] 6. Construction of Multi-Purpose Building, Allen, Northern Samar, 12.5005116, 124.283274 (Northern Samar 1st DEO): not in the NEP; ₱10,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 852; no matching NEP line for this office] 7. Construction of Multi-Purpose Building, Barangay Caragas, Lavezares, Northern Samar, 12.532376. 124.330521 (Northern Samar 1st DEO): not in the NEP; ₱9,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 852; 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: - Northern Samar 1st DEO: 1,006 contracts (2016–2025) in public DPWH records; 739 recorded as completed and 212 as ongoing. Some of these were marked by automated indicators on public data. These are not findings of wrongdoing; I would only like an explanation for: - Construction of Dalakit Shore Protection, Brgy. Dalakit, Catarman, Northern Samar (22IH0010): Duplicate or Near-Duplicate Projects. https://lovethephilippines.com/projects/65c5b6c2-fe22-474b-aa41-aa14901937ed - Construction of Dalakit Shore Protection, Brgy. Dalakit, Catarman, Northern Samar (23IH0109): Duplicate or Near-Duplicate Projects. https://lovethephilippines.com/projects/709237a2-0127-400f-a3fc-0f526ba69c22 - Construction of Mondragon Bantayan Old Road Shore Protection, Mondragon, Northern Samar (23IH0116): Cross-Source Mismatch (PhilGEPS vs DPWH). https://lovethephilippines.com/projects/1d97a059-d3a3-4f9c-8019-95e3cd91f790 I am asking only for information and am not alleging any wrongdoing.

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.
