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

Dear Representative Jaime Eduardo Marc D. Cojuangco:

Good day. I live in Tarlac (First District), and I would like to ask about some DPWH lines for the Tarlac DEO in the FY2027 budget. When I compared the National Expenditure Program (NEP) with House Bill No. 10858 (third reading), I noticed the following:

3. Capas-San Jose-Mayantoc-Malacampa Rd - K0141 + 613 - K0142 + 814 (Tarlac DEO): not in the NEP; ₱41,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 111; no matching NEP line for this office]

9. Construction of Road with Drainage Canal at Magsaysay Subd Extension at Barangay San Vicente Tarlac City (15.476630, 120.583006 - 15.476186, 120.58294) (Tarlac DEO): not in the NEP; ₱17,000,000 in the House version. [HB 10858 (3rd Reading) Vol. I-C, p. 526; 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:
- Tarlac DEO: 2,215 contracts (2016–2025) in public DPWH records; 2,024 recorded as completed and 167 as ongoing.

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]
