Subject: Request for explanation and documents on FY2027 DPWH budget lines for Surigao Del Sur (First District)

Dear Representative Romeo Sr. S. Momo:

Good day. I live in Surigao Del Sur (First District), and I would like to ask about some DPWH lines for the Surigao del Sur 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. Concreting of access Road to Cemetery including Bridge, Barangay Poblacion, Cortes, Surigao del Sur, Start: 126.189252, 9.274521 End:126.186721 (Surigao del Sur 1st DEO): not in the NEP; ₱50,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 620; no matching NEP line for this office]
2. Construction of NRJ Santiago - Cantilan Road, Sta. 39+635 - Sta. 43+635, Surigao del Sur (Surigao del Sur 1st DEO): not in the NEP; ₱50,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 620; no matching NEP line for this office]

4. Construction of Multi-Purpose Building, Tandag City, Surigao del Sur (Surigao del Sur 1st DEO): not in the NEP; ₱50,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 915; no matching NEP line for this office]
5. Matanda Br. (B00736MN) along Surigao - Davao Coastal Rd. (Surigao del Sur 1st DEO): not in the NEP; ₱31,500,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 285; no matching NEP line for this office]
6. Completion of Bridge at Barangay Bitaugan West, Cagwait, Surigao del Sur, Start:126.316697, 8.869581 End:126.316719, 8.86935 (Surigao del Sur 1st DEO): not in the NEP; ₱20,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 620; no matching NEP line for this office]
7. Construction (Completion) of Multi-Purpose Building, Barangay Poblacion, Carmen, Surigao del Sur (Surigao del Sur 1st DEO): not in the NEP; ₱20,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 915; no matching NEP line for this office]
8. Construction (Completion) of Multi-Purpose Building, Poblacion, San Miguel, Surigao del Sur (Surigao del Sur 1st DEO): not in the NEP; ₱15,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 915; no matching NEP line for this office]
9. Construction of Multi-Purpose Building, Barangay Purisima, Tago, Surigao del Sur (Surigao del Sur 1st DEO): not in the NEP; ₱15,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 915; no matching NEP line for this office]
10. Surigao - Davao Coastal Rd. (S00313MN) K1298 + 396 - K1302 + 696 (Road Safety: Roadway Lighting) (Surigao del Sur 1st DEO): not in the NEP; ₱10,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 244; 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:
- Surigao del Sur 1st DEO: 1,016 contracts (2016–2025) in public DPWH records; 880 recorded as completed and 102 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 Dike Revetment along Hubo River Basin Protecting Hubo Bridge, Upstream, Barangay Buhisan, San Agustin, Surigao del Sur (24NH0041): Duplicate or Near-Duplicate Projects. https://lovethephilippines.com/projects/b1be6afa-67f3-40a1-a14e-0789fe35e26a
- Construction of Dike Revetment along Liangan River, Lianga, Surigao del Sur (21NH0092): Cross-Source Mismatch (PhilGEPS vs DPWH). https://lovethephilippines.com/projects/ec8ea08b-6984-420a-8195-c19808d268d4
- Construction of Seawall at Barangay Matho, Cortes, Surigao del Sur (24NH0067): Duplicate or Near-Duplicate Projects. https://lovethephilippines.com/projects/32007883-c79f-4211-b3d5-d08e6c3bbe2c
- Construction of Seawall, Barangay Matho, Cortes, Surigao del Sur (22NH0015): Duplicate or Near-Duplicate Projects. https://lovethephilippines.com/projects/34ae64d2-4e63-41e8-bc7e-d6f233c20312

I am asking only for information and am not alleging any wrongdoing. Thank you for your time and your reply.

Respectfully,
[Your name]

Past DPWH contracts under this office

1,016 contracts from 2016 to 2025 in public DPWH records (₱19.01B): 880 recorded as completed, 102 as ongoing. 996 have a satellite image check on file. Browse them.

4 past contracts marked by public-data indicators

Indicators are automated statistical checks on public data. They are not findings of wrongdoing, and a marked contract may have a full explanation.

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.
