Dear Representative Arnan C. Panaligan:

Good day. I live in Oriental Mindoro (First District), and I would like to ask about some DPWH lines for the Mindoro Oriental 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, Barangay Sta. Isabel, Calapan City, Oriental Mindoro (Mindoro Oriental DEO): not in the NEP; ₱20,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 546; no matching NEP line for this office]
2. Rehabilitation of Road, Barangay San Isidro, Naujan, Oriental Mindoro (Mindoro Oriental DEO): not in the NEP; ₱20,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 546; no matching NEP line for this office]
3. Rehabilitation of Road at Barangay Monteverde, Socorro, Oriental Mindoro (Mindoro Oriental DEO): not in the NEP; ₱10,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 545; no matching NEP line for this office]
4. Construction of Road, Barangay Parang - Barangay Maidlang, City of Calapan, Oriental Mindoro (Mindoro Oriental DEO): NEP ₱5,000,000 → House ₱15,000,000 (up ₱10,000,000). [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 546; NEP FY2027 Vol. II-B, PDF p. 516]
5. Completion of Multi-Purpose Building at Barangay Zone IV, Socorro, Oriental Mindoro (Mindoro Oriental DEO): not in the NEP; ₱10,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 781; no matching NEP line for this office]
6. Calapan South Rd - K0020 + 513 - K0021 + 000 (Mindoro Oriental DEO): not in the NEP; ₱9,571,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 185; no matching NEP line for this office]
7. Construction of Multi Purpose Building at Barangay Bagong Silang, Victoria, Oriental Mindoro, 13.1811, 121.22411 (Mindoro Oriental DEO): not in the NEP; ₱7,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 781; no matching NEP line for this office]
8. Construction of Multi Purpose Building at Barangay Bambanin, Victoria, Oriental Mindoro, 13.11375, 121.30051 (Mindoro Oriental DEO): not in the NEP; ₱7,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 781; no matching NEP line for this office]
9. Construction of Drainage along Sitio Celis, Bayanan I, Calapan City (Mindoro Oriental DEO): not in the NEP; ₱5,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 343; no matching NEP line for this office]
10. Concreting of Road, Sta. 0+000 - Sta. 0+505, at Barangay Katwiran I, Baco, Oriental Mindoro (Mindoro Oriental DEO): not in the NEP; ₱5,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 544; 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:
- Mindoro Oriental DEO: 1,534 contracts (2016–2025) in public DPWH records; 1,428 recorded as completed and 73 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:
