Subject: Request for explanation and documents on FY2027 DPWH budget lines for Pangasinan (Fifth District)

Dear Representative Ramon Jr. N. Guico:

Good day. I live in Pangasinan (Fifth District), and I would like to ask about some DPWH lines for the Pangasinan 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, Barangay Tomana West - Barangay Tomana East, Rosales, Pangasinan, 15.8950, 120.61638889 (Pangasinan 3rd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱50,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 466; no matching NEP line for this office]
2. Construction of Multi-Purpose Building at Barangay Poblacion, Binalonan, Pangasinan (16.047927, 120.590964) (Pangasinan 3rd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱30,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 679; no matching NEP line for this office]
3. Construction of Road, Barangay Salvacion, Rosales, Pangasinan (Pangasinan 3rd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱20,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 466; no matching NEP line for this office]

5. Construction of Road, Barangay San Maximo, Natividad, Pangasinan, 16.027233, 120.781904 (Pangasinan 3rd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱10,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 465; no matching NEP line for this office]
6. Construction of Road, Barangay Acop, Rosales, Pangasinan, 15.86777778, 120.64694444 (Pangasinan 3rd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱10,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 466; no matching NEP line for this office]

9. Construction of Road, Barangay Bakit-Bakit, Rosales, Pangasinan, 15.89472222, 120.65194444 End 15.89222222, 120.6450 (Pangasinan 3rd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱10,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 466; no matching NEP line for this office]
10. Construction of Road, Barangay San Marcos - Barangay Luna, Sto. Tomas, Pangasinan, 15.867030755616724, 120.5850552207216 (Pangasinan 3rd DEO): not in the NEP; ₱10,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 466; 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 3rd DEO: 2,529 contracts (2016–2025) in public DPWH records; 2,136 recorded as completed and 331 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 Flood Mitigation Structures along Viray River, Tayug, Pangasinan (Package 1) (23AI0104): Awards Very Close to the Budget Ceiling. https://lovethephilippines.com/projects/2f77e19a-fea7-4cec-93ee-6a339f79708f

Respectfully,
[Your name]
[Barangay, city or municipality]
