Dear Representative Maria Rachel J. Arenas:

Good day. I live in Pangasinan (Third District), and I would like to ask about some DPWH lines for the Pangasinan 4th 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. Maramba Br. (B00580LZ) along Sta. Barbara Old Rd (Pangasinan 4th DEO): not in the NEP; ₱33,795,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 280; no matching NEP line for this office]
2. Camiling - Wawa - Bayambang - Malasiqui - Sta. Barbara Road, K0187+000 - K0188+000 (Pangasinan 4th DEO): not in the NEP; ₱29,860,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 121; no matching NEP line for this office]
3. Sn Carlos - Calasiao Road, K0209+128 - K0210+080 (Pangasinan 4th DEO): not in the NEP; ₱28,340,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 121; no matching NEP line for this office]

5. Sn Carlos - Calasiao Road, K0204+(-1000) - K0204+(-040) (Pangasinan 4th DEO): not in the NEP; ₱20,700,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 121; no matching NEP line for this office]
6. Carmen Jct - Bayambang - Manat Road, K0204+928 - K0206+000 (Pangasinan 4th DEO): not in the NEP; ₱20,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 121; no matching NEP line for this office]

10. Camiling - Wawa - Bayambang - Malasiqui - Sta. Barbara Rd, K0201+(-200) - K0201+050 (Pangasinan 4th DEO): not in the NEP; ₱11,400,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 150; 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:
- Pangasinan 4th DEO: 1,100 contracts (2016–2025) in public DPWH records; 955 recorded as completed and 121 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 Slope Protection Works along Agno River, Brgy. Supo, San Carlos City, Pangasinan (22AJ0011): Duplicate or Near-Duplicate Projects. https://lovethephilippines.com/projects/c35f645d-8ccf-4bba-b19b-c30523bf1210

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]
