Hon. Eleandro Jesus F.

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.
Disclaimer. This page and the letters it makes ask for explanations and documents. They do not say that anyone did anything wrong. A budget change can have a good reason; that is what the letter asks about. Your name and place stay in your browser and are never sent to us.
